Mastermind is a long-running British quiz show that has become a national institution over its 50-year history. Contestants sit in an iconic black chair under a spotlight and have to correctly answer as many questions as possible in two minutes. For their first round, each contestant chooses their specialist subject, and Project Manager Lewis Jones recently selected the Legend of Zelda video game series!

This semi-final episode aired on BBC2 on March 31st, 2025. The occasion had a diverse range of subjects: Blackadder (British comedy series), statesman Joseph Chamberlain, actor Gregory Peck, and, of course, The Legend of Zelda. The show’s researchers did an excellent job covering a wide range of Zelda games for this episode, from The Adventure of Link to Tears of the Kingdom.
