Two of Zelda Dungeon’s Own Set Speedrunning World Records at 2018 Marathon
Posted on July 29 2018 by Kat Vadam
In case you missed it, the annual Zelda Dungeon Marathon took place from July 14th to 20th, where our staff got together under one roof to raise $4,305 for Extra Life and children’s hospitals. What did that entail, you ask? Why, a 24/7 live stream, several antics, bad jokes, every Zelda title ever, and not one, but two speedrunning records!
Oh, yes. It happened. Our very own Kevin O’Rourke and Locke teamed up to try their hands at co-op Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition and walked away victorious. Not only did they conquer the Main Story Mode, finishing at 3:08:09, they also continued on to finish every level of the game at 5:08:06. Now, as reviewed and approved by Speedrun.com, they hold the world record for both!

Congratulations, Kevin and Locke!
