The Legendary Let's Play is a Franchise Play that attempts to cover every single main series game in The Legend of Zelda series. The initial trailer for the series was posted to The D-Pad's YouTube channel on August 22, 2013 ahead of its debut on August 27. The series ran on a consistent schedule wherein three games would be in progress at any given time: the 8-bit and handheld games as 15 minute videos uploaded every weekday, and two large console games as 60 minute videos on Saturdays and Sundays. Additionally, the then-new entry Hyrule Warriors was added as a second weekday game upon its release, meaning that there were temporarily four Zelda games being played at once on the channel. This schedule persisted for 16 consecutive months, until they finally achieved their goal on January 1, 2015. Immediately after this, however, the series continued under the name The Legendary Let's Play: Dawn of a New Day, tackling new Zelda games as they are released and going on hiatus again once they are completed. Currently, The Legendary Let's Play is once again active, with the team playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. As of August 1, 2017, 23 games have been played as part of the project, and a total of 746 episodes have been released.
