Tune in to Zeldathon Ascent Charity Stream All Week Long
Posted on December 27 2021 by Alexis S. Anderson
Zeldathon is streaming Zelda games now through Sunday, January 2nd to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Right now, Vidya James is playing Ocarina of Time, then Bassoonify will be playing Tri Force Heroes at 4:00am EST. Donors can affect gameplay, trigger secret sounds in the stream, and be entered to win prizes depending on the amount contributed (even just posting about the marathon on social media enters posters into certain giveaways). Zeldathon has also partnered with creators to make merchandise available that will give a portion of the proceeds to St. Judes, as well.
Check out the rest of the marathon schedule here. Donating a cumulative $10 during designated game blocks gives donors a chance to win that block’s prize pack. The first Prize Block includes the following items: St. Jude Cape & Gaming Headset, Ocarina of Time 64 Game & Box, Ocarina of Time Link amiibo, “The Temple” album CD, Red Joycon Comfort Grips, Bar Soap, Fi Scarf, Violet Hat, Tan Dice Bag & Navi Necklace. Flash giveaways will also happen throughout the event where donating $5 before the timer runs out enters donors into flash giveaways of even more prize packs.
The Zeldathon players are made up of a group of over 100 entertainers and broadcast professionals from across the globe collectively known as “Kinstone.” The marathon has, during its 10+ year lifespan, raised over $2.8 million for charity. So, tune in and support the stream if you can.
