Ten Players. 60+ hours. Seven (or more!) Legend of Zelda games played back to back. A weekend full of Prizes, Treasure Chests, Wheel Spins and horsing around. Join us for our signature fundraising event!

If you would like to donate to Child's Play Charity, here is our [link](https://tiltify.com/@northernplayersforcharity/hyrule-hysteria) All donations sent via Tiltify will go directly to the Child’s Play Charity organization -> https://tiltify.com/@northernplayersforcharity/hyrule-hysteria Any Twitch subscriptions or Twitch bits spent towards the Northern Players for Charity Twitch account will stay with the NPCs. These funds will go towards overhead annual costs, purchasing equipment upgrades, pay for t-shirts as prizes for those chatters who donate, and much more. Any Twitch money made will never go to any of the streamers individually.

NPC is a group of Canadians that raises money for kids through video games. Many of us first came together through a group called Hyrule Hustlers and between 2011-2016 we were able to raise over $23,600 for Child's Play Charity. Now we want to continue our mission of helping others and we have added some new friends along the way. In 2023, we reunited under our new charity gaming project, Northern Players for Charity, or NPCs, and are excited to get back to raising money to help kids in need. Hey. Listen. Things can be tough for kids, and we were lucky to have video games to help us through growing up. Now we want to give back, so we're putting everything we know about video games to good use. You can watch us play through every game we can, give us challenges, enter draws for cool prizes, and just know you're helping a good cause. We're planning an event where we'll play through several Zelda games in one marathon weekend, but until then you can watch us practice on Twitch, or follow us on social media. It's dangerous to go alone. Let's give.

### Favourite Zelda Game Tears of the Kingdom ### Favourite Zelda Character Tetra ### Favourite Zelda Dungeon Eagle’s Tower (Link’s Awakening) ### Favourite Zelda Item/Power Ultrahand ### Favourite Zelda Song Temple Theme (Zelda 2) Like a lot of people, video games have gotten me through a lot hard times in life, so I vowed to weaponize video games for good. My love of Zelda and my passion for the Water Temple got me involved in streaming for charity, and my desire to create the perfect spreadsheet keeps me motivated.

### Favourite Zelda Game Twilight Princess ### Favourite Zelda Character Running Man ### Favourite Zelda Dungeon Spirit Temple (Ocarina of Time) ### Favourite Zelda Song Saria's Song Hey, it's Laura! I am a nature enthusiast and love spending time outdoors. I have been voted "most likely to break out into song" at every job I have ever had. I first fell in love with gaming by watching my older brother and cousins play through the Nintendo catalogue in the early 90s. On my lucky days, I even got to be Player Two! Now I have proven myself worthy of the main controller, and I'm happy to share my love of gaming with the next generation. I'm not like other moms - I'm a cool mom!

### Favourite Zelda Game A Link to the Past ### Favourite Zelda Character Midna ### Favourite Zelda Dungeon The Eastern Palace (ALttP) ### Favourite Zelda Item Master Sword ### Favourite Zelda Song Gerudo Valley Theme Book devourer that just enjoys anything with a good story in any medium! Please don't give me book suggestions, as my TBR pile is too big! I have put away my dancing shoes but a good cause might make me dust them off.

### Favourite Zelda Game Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom ### Favourite Zelda Character Groose ### Favourite Zelda Dungeon Any from Link to the Past ### Favourite Zelda Item/Power Paraglider (formerly hookshot) ### Favourite Zelda Song Zelda's Lullaby Hello! My name is LesbianNextDoor or LND (she/her). I am a variety streamer on Twitch, an artist, and garden enthusiast. I'm a loud, cheerful, poly, and queer Canadian🍁 and a fellow spoony 🥄 I have chronic pain from a decades old work related spinal injury. I also live with ADHD 🐿️ and appreciate a bit of chaos once in a while.

### Favourite Zelda Game Oracle of Ages ### Favourite Zelda Character Impa ### Favourite Zelda Dungeon Shadow Temple (Ocarina of Time) ### Favourite Zelda Item/Power Bunny Hood ### Favourite Zelda Song Dragon Roost Island Theme My name is Nikki; I'm an archaeologist by trade, living firmly in the past, so it probably won't come as a surprise to learn that I was a huge geek even before university consumed my entire soul. My first exposure to videogames was Diddy Kong Racing on the N64, and, from that point forward, I fully embraced the world of videogames - as well as those of anime, cosplay, tabletop and LARP - until I was no longer fit for polite society. Nowadays, in my free time (what free time?), I enjoy reading, eating ice cream and long walks in the cemetery.

### Favourite Zelda Game Link's Awakening ### Favourite Zelda Character Link ### Favourite Zelda Dungeon Link's Awakening - Eagle's Tower ### Favourite Zelda Item/Power Hookshot ### Favourite Zelda Song Overworld Theme From hand drawing dungeon maps as a kid to constructing complicated contraptions as an adult, I have enjoyed Zelda all my life. Zelda was the first major game series I obsessed over which helped develop my love of gaming. I am a card-carrying nerd with a multitude of interests, but at the end of the day I always enjoy sitting back with a great game!
