It’s been awhile since we concluded the week-long stream of this year’s Zelda Dungeon Informer Marathon, and we realize that during the livestream, many people may not have been able to stick around for the whole thing, or even for a whole run. Seven hours of Link’s Awakening is tough for those that have silly things to do like – I don’t know – JOBS, I guess. Luckily, there is YouTube. Recording is a great thing, and the Zelda Dungeon…

It’s the start of the marathon! Phantom Hourglass is the unexpected MVP of the Zelda Dungeon Informer marathon. Phantom Hourglass is how we kick off the marathon every year and this year is no exception. If that’s the case then what’s the deal? What makes it so special that we absolutely need to clear our schedule for the game? Other than kicking off the marathon with a full playthrough of Phantom Hourglass, we will be playing the multiplayer battle mode…

We’re stepping into HD with Twilight Princess this year! We will be unified under one platform for Twilight Princess HD this year. We can finally retire the scratched up disc that killed Trevor’s Twilight Princess race against Caleb from a few years back. Gone will be the funky resolutions of using both the Wii version and GameCube version on one stream. Everything will be the same resolution with the crispiness of Twilight Princess HD (On the Vizio D Series.) The…

We’re going to have two races this year! At the ZDi Marathon this year we’re going to be mixing things up yet again for A Link to the Past. In previous years of the marathon we have raced A Link to the Past with six or more players which created an incredibly fun and hectic competition. The wrinkle to the race was throwing a ton of players together and doling out punishments for the amount of money we raised during…

First and foremost, the most fun at the marathons is talking with the viewers and hearing everyone’s Zelda stories. Zelda Dungeon and Zelda Informer have fans all over the globe and it’s great to hear where people are from, and to experience why we are all such big fans of the Legend of Zelda series. The turnout from the fans is incredibly encouraging and seeing viewers get involved and invested in the live stream is a huge morale boost when…

Ah, the joy of breaking childhood games. SpeedDemosArchive’s charity speedrn marathon, Awesome Games Done Quick 2016, is well under way, and two days ago, Lackattack24 had a great run of The Legend of Zelda on NES. As with any other run, Lack and the gentlemen on the couch help to explain what is going on, how certain aspects of the game work, and what is done to glitch the game. It is an entertaining run, clocking in at 30 minutes…

It’s that time of year again! The awesome charity marathon, the Zeldathon, is about to start! Literally! Their stream page has a countdown running at the moment with some sweet Zelda remixes playing for those eagerly awaiting the start of the marathon. As always, expect loads of Zelda titles to be played through (with even more that can be played, if enough money is raised), and of course, hilarious shenanigans will ensue after everyone starts donating and demanding that the…

Summer Games Done Quick, the annual summertime speedrunning marathon run by SpeedDemosArchive, has started! The runs are well underway and donations are continually rolling in, all in support of Doctors Without Borders. Of course, it would not be a Games Done Quick marathon without lots of fun donation incentives, and plenty of great prizes to win. Hit the jump for the stream, an updated schedule of times for Zelda speedruns, and a list of prizes to be won during those…
