ZeldaSpeedRuns Marathon 2017
The ZSR Marathon is an event hosted by ZeldaSpeedRuns. A collection of every Zelda game(including the remakes) being speedrun on stream to provide quality entertainment to viewers, as well as bringing the entire community together for an event that is long overdue.
Not everyone has had the pleasure of seeing all or even any of the Zelda games in a fast paced environment beaten in a way that was never intended. This event is to share with everyone what kind of community the ZSR community is and what we do on a daily basis.
This event will take an unknown amount of time but well over 24 hours to conclude. Giving ample time for everyone to get to see multiple games and potentially bring people into many individual game communities. Providing everything in the planning stages goes well there is still the argument of which category should be displayed on stream. Likely the event category will not be set, giving individuals the chance to showcase the normal “Any%” or another category of their choosing. This is to add a variety so people can experience more than just the basics of individual games.
If you are also interested in having people help commentate your run for any amount of reasons please include the person / persons you wish to help commentate in your game submission.
