People could make the team do various things depending on the amount donated, like having a ShoutOut, or having the Zeldathoners dance. One time, Mike got so much slaps in the face that it was completely numb. Mike later got his revenge though.

!! This event provides examples of the following:

* AccidentalMisnaming - Zak [[strike:Oddish]] Ondish, although he doesn't mind... much.
* AmusingInjuries - The viewers could donate to have Alex get punched in various areas depending on the amount donated. This resulted in a lot or arm punches, chest punches and one GroinAttack.
** This was one of the themes of the Punishment system introduced in Zeldathon for Child's Play. People could make the team do various things depending on the amount donated, like having a ShoutOut, or having the Zeldathoners dance. One time, Mike got so much slaps in the face that it was completely numb. Mike later got his revenge though.
** When they were aiming to meet a $15,000 goal for Child's Play, Silver was slapped repeatedly too. One chat member figured that it would be around 65 or so slaps in order to make it.
--->'''Andy:''' And down goes the Swede.
** Subverted during Lives when MCGamer tripped and injured his knee, and had to be taken to hospital to get crutches and a cast on it. The chatroom had to be locked down to prevent mass hysteria as thousands of fans wanted to know what had happened and wanted to wish him well.
** Also during the Zeldathon for Child's Play, Mike, Andy, MC, and Silver had to be slapped, so they coordinated the 4-Way Slap: Mike slapped Andy who then slapped Silver who then slapped MC who then slapped Mike, and then back around.
** During Zeldathon Water, one of the more expensive and rare punishments were to [[ChainedHeat duct-tape 2 (or more) random hosts together.]]
* AnnouncerChatter - They are sometimes even more interesting than the games themselves.
* ArmorPiercingSlap - Slaps are a selectable punishment.
--->'''Silver:''' You were holding back?! I will never insult a girl, ever! Now, make her slap my other cheek to return my face to normal.
* AwesomeMusic: Zach and Charissachu's songs during Lives.
* AWizardDidIt - At some times when the audience asked how something worked they would get the reply: Magic.
** When the question involved the games, the reply was NintendoLogic.
* BackFromTheDead - Silver "died" because of the Hot Sauce, but was revived when the donation counter reached $600
* BerserkButton - Don't mention Hot Sauce so that Silver hears it.
--->'''Silver:''' [[SayMyName HOT SAAAUUUCE!]]
** Also, Ezlo from Minish Cap is a hate object of Silver's
* BriefAccentImitation - While playing Twilight Princess during Zeldathon for Child's Play, Mike proceeded to voice act for many of the characters. The accents ranged from British to Australian to just a really high squeaky voice for the villain.
** Charissa also voiced Midna for a little while, and Mike was very freaked out by it when she started.
** Silver voiced Ghirahim during Zeldathon Lives to very humorous results.
--->'''Silver:''' Ghirah''ee''m away! [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud Pewf!]]
** One of the highlights of Zeldathon Lives was Alex voicing "[[TheAhnold Arnold]] ''[[TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Shiek]]''[[TheAhnold zenegger]]" for [[TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime OoT Master Quest]].

** During Zeldathon for Child's Play, about 3 hours before midnight of the 5th day, Andy brought up a challenge that he had planned a few days before. Specifically, that he would dress up as the Great Fairy from Ocarina of Time if the donations reached $10,000 before midnight. Cue 1,000 dollars being raised in those three hours, of which a quarter of that was raised in the last 15 MINUTES.
* DancePartyEnding - After Mike conquered the Cave of Ordeals in Twilight Princess, during the Zeldathon for Child's Play.
** Some of the donation incentives during Zeldathon Lives were to have a 'couch dance party'.
* EatThat - How about half a bottle of Hot Sauce?
--->'''Silver:''' Let's never speak of this again.
** Ghost peppers, or the Bhut Jolokia chili pepper. Prepare the glasses of milk.
** The 'Chubby Bunny' challenge, done during Zeldathon Lives, which involves seeing how many marshmallows you can fit in your mouth.

* IncrediblyLamePun - Silver fought for his life during his battle against Death.
* {{Kneecapping}} - MCGamer is put temporarily out of action during Lives when he badly injures his knee after tripping on something and has to go to the hospital. He returns a few hours later with a pair of crutches and a cast.
* LargeHam - Silver. Oh my Gardevoir, Silver. Oh, and MC too.
* MemeticMutation - 7-year-old-milk. That is all.
* MotorMouth - MC is a master at this.
** Silver has started to pick up this trait.
** Once [[CatchPhrase Zach, a.k.a. The]] [[IHaveManyNames guy with a thousand nicknames]] gets behind the mic at the tech corner, he never shuts up.
* MustHaveCaffeine - They are playing games for three days or more, what do you expect?
* NiceHat - Mike sports a fedora, it can't get much better than that. Silver's double fedora may count as well.
* OffTheRails - Most of the second half of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KHvVuboQPw Groose: The Musical]]
* PlanetOfHats - The ratio of people wearing hats at Zeldathon is almost 1:1, and with various types of hats as well.

** The subject of quite a few punishments that involved the player playing the next room with the controller by their head, while blindfolded, while upside down, or with one hand. Or several of them simultaneously.
* ShoutOut - Silver kept saying "Donate to [[{{Scrubs}} make cancer feel foolish]]" during the second Zeldathon.
** And a literal one: {{LetsPlay/Chuggaaconroy}}'s [[BigNo NOOO!]]
** [[LetsPlay/NintendoCapriSun So happy! In the toilet. Toilet Princess]] and such.
** [[LetsPlay/ProtonJon Move faster, donations!]]
** Shout outs also was a punishment for Zeldathon: Child's Play and subsequent ones so far.
* SongParody - A very large donation was received requesting MC to sing Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance". The issue was that they couldn't have copyrighted content on the stream, but MC recalled that parodies fall under fair use.
--->'''MC:''' I want your donations, as long as they're free. I want your cash. Cash, cash, cash!
* TemptingFate - If viewers could raise $27,000 for Zeldathon Water before the game was finished, Mike was to do another 3 heart run of the ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' Cave of Ordeals. He confidently said raising the remaining $7,000 during a single game had never been and wouldn't be done. 12 hours later, he got to eat his words.
** Nearing the end of Zeldathon Water, Mike agreed to [[ShirtlessScene dancing with his shirt off]] if they could get the total to $45,000 before the stream ended. Cue viewers raising the remaining $2,000 in about 10 minutes.
** Quite a few times during Zeldathon Lives, including early in the morning when Mike challenged that he would do the Cave of Ordeals (as always) if they broke the total of Zeldathon Water. This was when they were already a few dungeons into Twilight Princess. Their donations at the time they brought it up? $35,000. And they did it. [[note]]With the help of at least two $1,000 dollar donors.[[/note]]
--->'''Mike:''' Come on guys, we are still $10,000 away from reaching the goal for Cave of Ordeals! Make me eat my words!
* ThatRussianSquatDance - Hilariously attempted by Silver during Ultimate Zeldathon.
* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection - The Skype guests and to a lesser extent, the chatroom.
* [[YouHave48Hours You Have 72 Hours]] - Early marathons ran for 3 days and the final hours got really stressy.
