The streamer Nukie has completed an impressive video game marathon by finishing all the 3D games in the The Legend of Zelda saga in a total time of 89 hours, spread over four days of continuous streaming. This ambitious challenge, which included classics like Ocarina of Time to the most recent Tears of the Kingdom, was notable for its goal of achieving 100% in each of the titles, a considerable challenge given that some of these games, like Breath of the Wild, can require hundreds of hours to complete all their missions and secrets.
Four days without sleep… And playing
With six years of dedication in preparation for this feat, Nukie developed a strategy that allowed him to perform the speedrun efficiently. During the stream, the streamer had medical assistance to ensure his well-being, and despite the intensity of the challenge, he stated that he did not suffer any health issues. However, he urged others not to attempt to replicate his experience without taking the necessary precautions, highlighting the importance of taking care of one’s health when participating in extreme activities.
The Nukie community closely followed the challenge, which attracted around 5,000 viewers during its live hours. The popularity of these events highlights a growing phenomenon in streaming culture, where gamers take on extraordinary challenges to capture the audience’s attention. While these types of challenges are impressive, they raise questions about the extreme limits that some streamers are willing to cross in search of notoriety.
Despite the health concerns surrounding this type of marathon, Nukie was ecstatic after his achievement, stating on social media: No one can stop me, I’m on top of the world, which invites reflection on the thin line between entertainment and personal well-being in the world of streaming.
