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.
