It’s kind of hard to believe that TheSpeedGamers is coming up on its tenth anniversary. Even now, one of my favorite memories from within the Zelda fan community was when I watched that 2008 marathon stream of theirs. It was one of the first times I’d seen such a large group of people channel their love for gaming into such positive, real-world change.

It’s fitting, then, that the gang over at TSG celebrate its tenth anniversary with another Legend of Zelda marathon. From March 9 to March 13, this 96-hour stream of the series will be raising money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Be sure to tune in!
