Nintendo Land is a 2012 party game developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo for the Wii U, as a launch title for the console. It contains twelve separate minigames, each one based on a different Nintendo property. One of these minigames, The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest, was played on The D-Pad in 2013, as the third weekday game and sixth game overall in The Legendary Let's Play. The LP consisted of 17 episodes; 10 covering the main stages released from November 11 to November 23, 2013, and 7 covering the extra stages released from August 3 to August 7, 2020.

The game was revisited on The D-Pad in a one-off episode in 2024, as the first game in The Ultimate Wii U. This time all the non-Battle Quest minigames were covered in brief. The episode was released on November 28, 2024.

Trivia

• Battle Quest was originally played on the channel to fill the weekday schedule for two weeks between the completion of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link and the release of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.
  • Ironically, in 2020 the Soulcalibur II LP was partly created to fill time in the schedule before the return of Battle Quest.
• Unlike most series on the channel, Battle Quest had a clearly defined episodic structure, where each video would cover a single level, regardless of how much time or how many attempts it took to complete it.
• The ninth level took so long to complete that the episode that featured it was edited significantly. The bonus "episode 9.5" is actually the uncut version of episode 9.
  • In the 2020 revisit of the LP, episodes 12 and 14 have similar uncut versions.
• The gap between episode 9.5 and episode 10 is 6 years, 8 months, and 11 days, making it the longest gap between two episodes of the same series on the channel by a considerable margin.
