Skip and Kevin met as rivals on the set of the 2019 Zelda Dungeon Marathon. Losing to Skip in The Legend of Zelda race left a lasting impression on Kevin. They’ve been together ever since. To celebrate almost one year of being together, they decided to go to a Yeto’s – a Zelda themed restaurant that seemed to be the perfect place for the two’s date. This is their story. Around the time that we were planning my first trip…

The Zelda Dungeon Marathon is fast approaching. With such a short time left until we begin raising money for Extra Life, Gooey and Mases are here to give a preview of what is to come for this year. The Zelda Dungeon Marathon will run from July 14th through July 20th. The ZD team will be playing through all of the Zelda titles and a ton of the side games. ZD is supporting Extra Life and will be live streaming on…

Zelda Dungeon had a great marathon in 2017, and 2018 is shaping up to be an even bigger event! We have a big roster of Zelda Dungeon staff members from previous marathons as well as an injection of new talent this year. If you have a favorite ZD team member you’d like to follow along during the marathon, check out what games they will be playing at the marathon this year! Be sure to check us out on our Twitch…

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’ve got 5 days left until the start of the Zelda Dungeon Informer Marathon so get ready to mark your calendars so you won’t miss any of your favorite games. We have just published the schedule for the weeklong+ marathon of The Legend of Zelda. The link to the schedule is right here! and will be updated if there are any major changes to the times.

We have an all star cast of players for the Zelda Dungeon Informer Marathon for this year! We’ve grown the team this year again and wanted to give a little introduction to who you’ll be watching when the marathon starts on July 16th at 3AM US Central time. The Zelda Dungeon and Zelda Informer team spans the globe, and we’ve got a good mix of Central US, Eastern US and Canadian members who will be making an appearance at the…

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…

I’ve already stated that the sleeper hit game of this year’s marathon will be Tri Force Heroes. Tri Force Heroes is a fun experimental game that is difficult to experience to it’s full potential. It’s similar in many regards to Four Swords Adventures because it requires multiple players with multiple sets of hardware to play it to maximum potential. If you play Tri Force Heroes just as a solo experience it can be very frustrating and necessarily difficult to complete…

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…
