3-Day Legend Of Zelda Marathon For Charity!

Post by Overload »

There is a group called TheSpeedGamers. They are a group of people who do marathons of various video game series for charity. In total they've raised over $15,000 for various charities including ACT Today, Giggles Therapy, St. Jude's Hospital, and more. Their upcoming event is for Ally's House, a group that helps families with children undergoing treatment for cancer.

In two days, on the 13th, they are starting their 3-Day-Long Legend of Zelda Marathon. They will be playing the following games:
* The Legend of Zelda
* Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
* A Link to the Past
* Link’s Awakening
* The Ocarina of Time
* Majora’s Mask
* Oracle of Ages
* Oracle of Seasons
* The Wind Waker
* The Minish Cap
* Twilight Princess
* Phantom Hourglass
* Four Swords Adventures

They will be attempting to complete all of these within 72 hours. They've done Zelda a few times in the past so they are pretty skilled and won't disappoint.

I encourage everyone to at least stop by and check it out when it starts in two days. I've watched many of their marathons and they are always very entertaining. Since this is a charity event, it would be great if people could donate. Those who cannot make a donation can help just as much by spreading the word.

They use a capture device. For handheld games they rig up some contraption to hold a webcam above the screen.

Bumping for charity.
The marathon has started. I've found out they are going to play the CDI Zelda games at the end for the hell of it.
