Zelda Dungeon Marathon 2023 Raises Over $20,000 USD for No Kid Hungry

The Zelda Dungeon Marathon 2023 is unfortunately over, but it ended on the highest note yet in Zelda Dungeon Marathon history! Not only did we surpass the $10,000 USD fundraising goal set for this year’s event, but this year the team beat the marathon’s 2022 donation record of $16,212.61 USD with a staggering fundraising total of $20,848.16 USD!

Every year, the Zelda Dungeon Marathon sees the team play a full week of Zelda games in support of a charity. This year, the Zelda Dungeon Marathon raised funds for No Kid Hungry, an organization whose mission is to end childhood hunger in the US by making sure kids have access to the food they need at school, during the summer, and at home. Every $1 USD raised provides 10 meals for a child in need, which means this year’s Zelda Dungeon Marathon fundraising total will provide an incredible 208,482 meals!

We could not have set this amazing Zelda Dungeon Marathon record without all of you, the Zelda fans who donated to support No Kid Hungry. Whether you donated $1 USD or $3,000 USD (see the moment our top donor Stahl Nox broke our 2022 fundraising record right here; WARNING: Ending spoilers for Tears of the Kingdom), you helped us exceed our goal and set a new record for next year! Thank you!

If you missed all or some of Zelda Dungeon Marathon 2023, you can watch the VODs of the weeklong stream on Zelda Dungeon’s Twitch channel as we add them. Check out a breakdown of our fundraising total and see the log of individual donations and messages on our Tiltify page right here (and, if you’d like, you can still donate to help feed hungry kids!).

Once again, we want to share a huge thank you to everyone in the Zelda Dungeon community who tuned in and donated during this year’s Zelda Dungeon Marathon. We could not have done it without your encouragement and generous support!
