Thirty-Three Gamers Participating In Charity ‘Zeldathon’ This Week
Gaming marathons have become a go-to mechanism for fundraising. Not only is it enjoyable to watch a group come together for a good cause, but you can relieve some great gaming moments from the comfort of your living room.
A group of 33 gamers are currently in the midst of the 13th Zeldathon. The event started on Saturday, December 27 and will continue through a finale featuring Super Smash Bros. on January 2.
This year’s event has a fundraising target of $100,000. Funds will support Direct Relief, an organization that in its most recently completed fiscal year provided $284 million in medical supplies, medicine, and cash to healthcare providers in poor communities in 69 countries.
You can tune into the Zeldathon on the group’s website. You can also check out the entire schedule for the remainder of the event.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
