Join Critical Role in an epic adventure as they journey into the world of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for a special one-shot tabletop roleplaying game. This exciting event, sponsored by Nintendo of America, will be streamed on May 30 at 7 p.m. PDT on Critical Role’s Twitch and YouTube channels.
Led by the talented Matthew Mercer, the voice of Ganondorf in Tears of the Kingdom, the one-shot will feature a story and characters inspired by the game and the enchanting land of Hyrule. Rest assured, there will be no spoilers, allowing fans to experience the magic of the game firsthand.
In addition to Mercer, the episode will showcase the familiar faces of Liam O’Brien, Marisha Ray, Robbie Daymond, Omar Najam, and Emily Axford as they delve into the world of Tears of the Kingdom.
Released just days ago, Tears of the Kingdom has already become the fastest-selling game in the Legend of Zelda franchise. With over 10 million copies sold, it’s on track to become one of the top-selling games on the Nintendo Switch, following in the footsteps of its highly acclaimed predecessor, Breath of the Wild.
The connection between Critical Role and Zelda goes beyond this exciting collaboration. Mercer, a devoted fan of the franchise, has previously brought Ganondorf to life in the fan series There Will Be Brawl. His passion and expertise make him the perfect guide for this one-shot adventure.
This isn’t the first time Critical Role has ventured into the realm of video games. Last year, they embarked on an Elden Ring one-shot, and in 2017, they explored Middle-Earth: Shadow of War. These adventures showcase the group’s versatility and their ability to bring the worlds of gaming and tabletop roleplaying together.
