Group Plays The Legend of Zelda For 150 Hours For Charity

Looking for more proof that playing games can help people? A group of gamers known as Zeldathon in Erie, Pennsylvania will be playing The Legend of Zelda for 150 hours this weekend to fundraise for HelpHOPELive, a national nonprofit that helps raise money to help those in need pay their medical bills.

Zeldathon kicks off on December 27 and continue through January 2. Anyone can watch them play online and donate to HelpHOPELive's efforts. Playing games for charity can be fun, just check out our archived live stream of our Extra Life marathon where we raised $38,108 for Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare.
