ZeldaGamesAid 2013 We are a group of computer science and media production students from
Bournemouth University. We intend to play through several of
The Legend of Zelda video game titles made by
Nintendo back to back while streaming the whole ordeal online to
Twitch.tv. We invite all to come and once again watch us play and be crazy. If you are able to please consider
contributing towards donations to raise money for our cause the UK video games industry charity
GamesAid.
Our
first 'Zelda' marathon started on the 11th of November 2011 and we managed to complete 12 titles in 212 hours including the latest game
Skyward Sword which was the first live streaming in the world of content from the game. Many of our team members had never even played a Legend of Zelda games before agreeing to take part in the challenge. By the final day on the 20th of November we were all exhausted from
sleep deprevation and
malnutrition but had managed to raise a massive ONE THOUSAND, THREE HUNDRED AND TWELVE Pounds Sterling (£1312.00 GBP) as well as ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY SIX POUNDS AND SEVENTY FOUR PENCE (£166.74 GBP) via
Gift Aid! We even made it into our
local paper the Bournemouth Echo. Thank you to all those who donated and helped to spread the word!
