What is the 4/48 Zelda Marathon?

The 4/48 Zelda Marathon is an annual gaming event and fundraiser for Child's Play Charity featuring Nintendo's Legend of Zelda series of video games. Since 2008, the event has raised over $3,000 for charity. This year, the marathon will feature eight games from the series, and all donations to Child's Play will extend the duration of the marathon and enter donors into drawings for a variety of Zelda-themed prizes.

Child's Play Charity is a non-profit that seeks to improve the lives of children in hospitals around the world through the kindness and generosity of the video game industry and the power of play. All donations go straight to Child's Play and are tax-deductible.

T-Shirts!   Posted February 21, 2012 by Adams 2 comments

Ok guys so we’re going to open up t-shirt sales for about 1 week. If you’d like to buy a shirt, contact us ASAP!

We will contact you back with payment once we know how many shirts we’re going to order. At that point, PayPal is probably the easiest way to transfer money to us so we can purchase the shirts.

I wish we had a little online store so you guys could just buy them directly, but it’s really expensive to do that. If you guys would prefer it, though, we could potentially do a CafePress that would allow direct orders from them, but the shirts would most likely be around $35/shirt. While bulk ordering is tedious, it’s also much cheaper (<$20/shirt).

Let us know ASAP!
