Most Zelda fans can brag about beating Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. Yet, how many of us can boast that we've beaten those four games in 48 straight hours? Probably none.Cameron Banga and his friends will soon have that right, though. They've made it their mission to not only trek through the four 3D Zelda games, but beat them in a 48 hour deadline (which expires tomorrow at 5PM CST). They are also showing their exploits to the world by webcasting the event here.
So, are these guys gods among men or just in need of a new hobby? It's up to you to decide.

This is cute ...
I'm going to be the first on here to say they won't make it!

As interesting as this is... they have approximately 12 hours per game. I'll be shocked if they DON'T make it.
But I'll watch, if only because I'm too busy watching the NFL playoffs to play some Zelda myself.
No offense to these guys for wanting to do this--like I said, it's interesting--but it's not that great of a feat.

The post omits the important fact that these guys are taking donations and giving the money they make to Child's Play. They've already raised a few hundred dollars. It's a good cause, a fun time for these guys and a funny video to tune into for a while to watch. Good luck to them for finding a good way to waste time and have fun while raising money for children

They're doing all of the completely 3D Zelda's, for the consoles. It's kinda hard to show a handheld game with this kinda broadcast, ya know?

Phantom Hourglass isn't any less 3-D than the other four. The only differences are you don't have the camera view from behind and the controls are different. But you can't hold that against PH, because TP's control are totally different from OoT, MM, and WW.

That's all well and good but for reasons of not being able to show the game being played (thus making playing it pointless for this) it was excluded. It deosn't have anything to do with holding anything against PH. Have you ever watched a video of a Handheld game? Very rarely can you tell what's going on.
Plus, the Cube version of TP had similar controls to WW's.

Sadly, they've been stuck on Majora's Mask for far too long. They'll need to make up time on Wind Waker if they want to have any chance of squeezing in Twilight Princess too.

try beating Windwaker with 3 hearts and a small magic meter (and only use a fairy once) like me....... Then you can say that those people are good.

Why should you be the standard by which to determine these players' skill? Beating any of the games with three hearts has absolutely no relation to trying to beat multiple games consecutively in one sitting.
