It's the welcome post!

Welcome to the Zelda Massacre! If you have no idea what any of this is, you've found the correct post. Knowledge, go!

What is The Zelda Massacre?
The Zelda Massacre is a 48 hour Legend of Zelda marathon, basically. In it, the Zelda Massacre Team (us) are going to sit down and play through basically as many Legend of Zeldas as we possibly can.

When is The Zelda Massacre?
The clock starts Thursday, July 17th at noon (east coast time). It ends Saturday, July 19th at noon (once again, east coast time).

What games will you play?
First off, the only video games we will be broadcasting are The Legend of Zelda ones.
We will definitely be playing through Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. You can watch us play those over on our live feed.
In addition, we will also attempt to play through A Link to the Past, Oracle of Seasons, The Minish Cap and Phantom Hourglass. With the possibility of some Four Swords thrown in.

Are there any rules?
There are, yes. One- We cannot have two playing a Console Zelda at the same time. A Console Zelda is one we need a TV for, so obviously Ocarina, Majora, Wind, and Twilight. This rule means that someone cannot be playing Twilight at the same time as another playing Ocarina. Only one Console Zelda at a time.
Two- We can play as many Handheld Zeldas at one time as we want. A Handheld Zelda is one we do not need a TV for. So, Link to the Past, Season, Minish and Hourglass. We can all be playing one at the same time.

Example: Person A is playing Majora's Mask. Person B is playing Seasons. C is playing Minish and D is playing Hourglass. This is completely legal.

Who is playing?
The people involved in the Zelda Massacre are:
Claudia
Jojo
Dan
Claire
Evan
Jeff

Who will play what?
While this is still very subject to change, I figured I would post it anyway.

Ocarina of Time:
Claudia will play the first three temples, up to obtaining the Master Sword.
Jojo will play the next two temples, Forest and Fire.
Claire will play the next two temples, Shadow and Spirit.
The final dungeon is up for grabs.

Majora's Mask:
This game is all Jojo.

Wind Waker:
This, I'm not sure. It's a pretty big game, and we've all played it. I figure, though, that it'll probably be split up between Dan, Claudia and Evan, mainly. They need to work this one out- I don't have a clue.

Twilight Princess:
Claire will play up to obtaining the Master Sword (halfway through the game).
Evan will play the rest of the game (to the end).

Please realize though, that this is really subject to change. In the end, we're probably just gonna give the controller to whoever can play.

The Handhelds Zeldas basically go to whoever grabs them first. We don't have a structure on those. Except for...

A Link to the Past:
This game goes entirely to Jeff, over on the west coast. He'll have a separate live feed up for his run.

Where can I watch?
Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess will all be broadcasted over on this live feed here.

A Link to the Past will be broadcasted over here.

Feel free to chat with us on those pages as well!

Ugh, I'm so sorry, I didn't realize that this was going to overlap. My sister is actually visiting my parents that weekend, so I'm going up there to see everyone from 16-20th. I'm sorry for crapping out last minute. I'll probably find time to drop by and cheer you guys on. Good luck, I wish I could contribute =(
