Twitch Streamer Nukie Completes Epic Four-Day 100% Zelda Marathon
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Twitch streamer Nukie completed a 100% speedrun marathon of every 3D Legend of Zelda game back-to-back, playing for nearly four days straight without sleep.
Marathon speedruns always push the limits of human endurance, but Twitch streamer Nukie just redefined what is possible in the genre. According to a report by Polygon, Nukie successfully completed a 100 percent completion run of every single 3D entry in The Legend of Zelda franchise back-to-back. The massive undertaking took roughly 88 hours and 54 minutes of continuous play, spanning nearly four days without sleep.
This grueling marathon included every major 3D title released since Ocarina of Time, with the massive addition of Tears of the Kingdom making this attempt even longer than her previous 2023 record. Navigating the mechanical shifts between retro classics like Majora's Mask and massive modern sandboxes requires serious skill. Nukie shared on social media that this incredible feat was the result of six years of dedicated practice.
For a community that treats speedrunning as both high art and prime spectator entertainment, achievements like this highlight the sheer dedication of modern content creators. Balancing muscle memory, route optimization, and pure sleep deprivation makes this one of the most memorable community moments of the year. You can catch the VODs and rewatch the marathon over on Nukie's official Twitch channel.
