10. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past has one more sequel aside from Link’s Awakening. It’s called BS Zelda no Densetsu: Inishie no Sekiban which fans translated as The Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets and was only available on the Satellaview Super Famicom add-on.

Since the game was only broadcast for a limited time (at one section a week), it could not be digitally preserved. There is no complete copy of the game.

Even then, emulation efforts for this game have still went on thanks to memory packs used by the Satellaview (temporarily copies to the memory pack to be overwritten with another game) that still contained the game.
