Ocarina of Time Race Stats

Nick - The Zelda Veteran

Yep, Nick's the favorite to win this one. Back in 2000 he claims that he beat the game once every weekend for months. He's has the experience of beating the game more than 10 times, that's why there's a good bet he'll be the leader for most of the night. Nick does also have a heavy school and work schedule. It'll be crunch times for Mr. Henderson before the Thanksgiving break. We'll see if he's able to come into this contest ready and on his game.


Travis - The Young Samurai

Travis is, well, Travis. You don't really know what to expect from him. He's a loose cannon. On a good day, he's spectacular. On a bad one, let's just leave it at that. He's young and has a lot of energy. He'll have what it takes over the course of the marathon, that is if he wasn't already up all night from the day before. Plus he's got classes that day and then will be driving back for Ocarina. We'll see if the kid has what it takes to take the title.


David - The Lost Hope

David has mentioned before he's kind of a casual gamer now. He's the oldest and has the most difficulties staying up late. Many a time he's been dozing off during broadcasts, ie Endless Ocean. He does have roots in very hardcore games and is just the type to have been secretly training all this time. His stubbornness and will to do things his way may end up being his downfall though.


Brad - The Underbear

Brad is the underdog in this competition. In fact he's never even beaten Ocarina of time. Often times you can hear him complain about the camera, controls, and shitty visuals. His biggest hurdle will be getting over those mechanics. Other than that he's in great shape. He beat Twilight Princess in two sittings. He does the majority of the broadcasting. And he's had tons of marathon like gaming sessions that only the hardcore would attempt, N+ should be testament enough to that.

So there you have it. The details of the for the race will be confirmed this week, but we need your help to make sure we don't miss anything. We've got the N64's lined up. We're getting the TVs. We have extra controllers. We'll have all of us in one room plugged in to the feed with another camera focused on us. As far the logistics of the event, we're pretty covered.

We do need help with the actual game. None us are experts. We don't know all the ins and outs. So can expect a pretty straight up playthrough with out any abusive tactics or glitch manipulation. But if you have any suggestions, things we may have left out or consider, feel free to chime in on the forums.
