This August, the Zelda Dungeon team gets back together for five days of epic adventuring. Starting on August 7th and carrying through the weekend, you will see every Zelda game played by the Zelda Dungeon staff. From NES to Wii U–and even CD-i–every last game will be played. We have more surprises in store to reveal at a later time, but read on to get an idea of what we’re doing, who we’re supporting, and what you can do to make sure you don’t miss a second of fun.

First of all, we wanted to support Child’s Play again. Everyone participating knows how awesome CP is, and in case you don’t know, Child’s Play Charity is “a game industry charity dedicated to improving the lives of children with toys and games in our network of over 70 hospitals worldwide.”

During the marathon we will be having both donation-based challenges/name selections/prizes, and social media based challenges. We hope to bring together the greater Zelda community for a great few days of gaming, and a greater cause. We will be racing more games this year after the positive feedback we’ve received from last year’s truly epic Twilight Princess race, and the even more awesome Oracle of Seasons and Ages race.

In case you didn’t see the video from our YouTube page formally announcing this marathon, you can watch it right here:

There are more details to come as we are still finalizing many details, but if you have an idea for something you would like to see at the marathon leave it as a comment below!
