Hey Guys! Marmul Here!
Today I went out and bought the Hyrule Historia and got to reading it when the first pages really hit me pretty hard where I live. Just reading through the pages and hearing how Link is supposed to be the player, really spoke to me. I will admit that I hadn't played every Zelda game and some people may say that I'm not a true Zelda fan, but people will say what they will. It occurred to me that whenever I was in time of need, or well whenever I needed to 100% relax, I resorted back to Zelda. For instant before Basic, I was feeling really dark, kinda what I like to call "Basic Blues" and the only way I thought I could deal with it was with Ocarina Of Time. So that's what I did. I went out and purchased my 3DS with Ocarina Of Time 3D. With this realization I decided that I hadn't experienced all the Zelda games and what each one has offered. So with that in mind I have decided to embark upon what I will call, The Legend Of Marmul! I will try and complete EVERY Zelda game in the franchise within the 2014 year! I see this as a soul seeking journey, a spirit quest if you will. Here among the Rad Rascals I shall document my journey. Along with here on twitter (@5GameSuicide ) ill post other things that might not make it into the forum posts.

I have just a couple weeks to prepare me for my journey ahead.
Till Next Time

You are indeed ambitious my friend, and based on your success with the Suicide Run (a feat I could never accomplish myself), I'd say you have a darn good chance of making it.

Best of luck, and I look forward to hearing the tales of your journey into awesomeness :)

This will be interesting. I will definitely be lurking, reading the progress lol

Will you be going directly in order of when they came out or just random selection?

I will be doing a point by point update on the twitter, but after I complete each game I will put up a giant summary. I will be going in the order written in the Hyrule Historia. I think that will give me the best idea of advancement throughout the ages.

I may try twitch, it would be very experimental cause I've never tried it before. Worth a shot though. I'll look into it

Hey guys, Marmul here!
With me drawing closer to the end of Zelda (1987) and also getting into the twitch thing. I've decided that my ways of filming are pretty poor right now. Therefore Zelda II will be done by ROM instead of on the 3DS and will result in better streams!
You can catch the streams on www.twitch.tv/marmul90 which I will put out an announcement tweet on @5GameSuicide.
Till next time

Do people really consider the CD-i games to be part of the official Zelda cannon? By all accounts, those games are massive turds.

Man, what I've come to terms with Zelda II is that its all about technique and strategy rather than adventure like Zelda I was about. I think thats why its there was such a huge fuss about it. I'm actually enjoying it right now.

Any chance you could update the original post with the games you have completed? I was sure that Zelda 1 & 2 were more towards the end of one of the Hyrule Historia storylines. I feel like I've missed out a ton if that's the case

Oh, yeah Zelda I and II are towards the end of the Timeline, but I'm playing them in the order of creation I guess you could say. I'm still working on the Zelda I video. I can tell you that is all I have completed so far!

Hey guys, Marmul Here!
So I've decided to change up the plan a bit. The original plan was to play each Zelda game, one at a time, in order of release, that was the plan of attack. However, the best laid plans of mice and men often go a rye. Therefore the plan now is I will do reviews of each game as I complete them and play several Zelda games at once. Don't worry, this challenge will be completed! I'm actually going to put out a competition based on how many times I die in total during a game. Just call out the game and how many time you think i will die. The prizes will be smaller for the individual games, but the overall how many deaths during the Legend of Marmul will be something worthy. To give you a bit of help for estimation, for The Legend Of Zelda I died a total of 172 times. So guess wisely and follow @5GameSuicide to see when the winners will be called up!
Till Next Time
Marmul Out!

P.S: Direct Message me your guesses on Twitter, or on here.

Alright Guys, That is Phantom Hourglass done and out of the way. Ive been working on a side thing, of a summary and my thoughts on each game. Hoping to get them out soon. Ive was going to try and do one per month as i complete the games, but it appears that one per month and I will miss my overall goal. So I have to crank up the intensity.
Hit me up on twitter and the forums.
Till Next Time!

quick question, why did you decided to post this in the rad rascals section? I literally just noticed this thread, and would have noticed it a LOT earlier if it were in general gaming or off topic section or one of those upper areas :kirbyhappy:

I know i know, its been a while but JUST beat Spirit Tracks…. THAT GAME WAS CRAP! I was so hyped for it cause Phantom Hourglass was great, but this was a huge disappointment, I know I missed a whole lot of things, but I have NO desire to go back and plait again.
