Have You Completed a Zelda Game from Start to Finish Without Stopping or Saving?

I did and it was ALttP. I believe it took me about 5 hours. Wasn't 100% complete though, the only item I forgot to get was the magic cape and I think it was one piece of heart that I missed and it was the one where you had to dig up with the shovel in the dark world (at that time I didn't know that's where it was).

If you have, which Zelda game was it and was it 100% complete?

I once built a blanket fort with my best friend, hunkered down, and played Ocarina of Time from start to finish in about eleven hours. I'm surprised my N64 didn't overheat, honestly.

Although I don't know if this counts, because I did it with a friend. So we were able to tag out in order to go to the bathroom, get food, etc.

I'm not that bored or anything, I don't have the time or patience to do something like that!

Nope, not me. I like to enjoy Zelda games every time I run through one of them (collect everything and such, when possible), so obviously beating them in one sitting isn't on my to-do list. ;)

I did a speedrun of Ocarina of Time in under 6 hours this summer. I believe that's the only time I've ever been able to beat a Zelda game in one sitting. I've beaten others in 2 or 3 playing sessions as well. Also my speedrun was almost as far away from 100% as possible. It was a minimalist run with the exception of me picking up heart containers from bosses.

I think I might try to do the first Zelda, A Link to the Past, or Majora's Mask though too eventually. Maybe even Adventure of Link if I'm feeling brave. Those games would be reasonable time-wise. Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword would all take me too long to play in one sitting. I tried a speedrun of Wind Waker and it took nearly 14 hours spread across a couple days.

I tried with WW but the farthest I got was about 60% through, I was only 10 then. But hey, I beat it in two days.

Yes...many, many times. My best recollection with Zelda is the two days it took me to play Twilight Princess; I played nonstop. I never slept and the only breaks I took were bathroom breaks. I ate while I played; mostly desert from Christmas dinner - cheesecake and all that. And after that I played Tales of Legendia, a JRPG with well over 100 hours of gameplay; again, without sleep, but we'll save that story for another thread.

I've never done it but I'd think it would take A LOT of time and effort. Plus you'd have to hope that the power doesn't go out and that Link doesn't come down with a sudden case of death.

No, I don't have the patience or time to do anything like that. And after a while, I need to get a small break after a few hours though. Maybe if it's a game like Phantom Hourglass I could do it (I got to the Ghost Ship just after a few hours, but I never really felt like proceeding after that).

Oh my gosh. I had no life one weekend and plates OoT and Majoras Mask back to back start to finish, if I failed I started over. I never did.

Last year, I beat Ocarina of Time on emulator in one sitting. I didn't do sidequests, though. Also, I've done the Majoras Mask three-day-challenge twice before.

I tried doing that with wind waker, be ause I didn't have a memory card, but I needed up having to restart twice, once because my mon turned it off (even though I specifically told her not to while I was away...) and once cuz I accidentally unplugged it while trying to hook up a VCR :P
