4	On [[MeaningfulReleaseDate August 22]], 2013, [[LetsPlay/TheDPad The D-Pad]] released a teaser for an event called ''[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfujXvl455i86_F32M-DlNQlV8mLqsLmD The Legendary Let's Play]]''. What followed was a continuous LetsPlay of every ''Legend of Zelda'' game released up to that point (including [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds one]] that came out ''during'' the series' run), one release per day until all games were completed.

6	!!The series as a whole provides examples of:
7
8	* ArtifactTitle: The D-Pad left [=UNregular Radio=] two weeks after the series began.
9	* BootstrappedLeitmotif: C&C Music Factory's "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" has become the Stalfos motif, '''''EVERYBODY STALFOS'''''
10	** Similarly, Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" has become the general theme for the various Link incarnations setting out for adventure.
11	** Anyone unfortunate enough to utter the phrase "it's been a while" is treated to the rest of the group repeating the line from the same-named Staind song.
12	** [[Music/{{Gorillaz}} And verb-ing, verb-ing. And verb-ing, verb-ing...]]
13	* CatchPhrase: For Ben: "This game is bullshit."
14	* MeaningfulReleaseDate: The series trailer debuted on the 26th anniversary of the release of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI''.
15	* {{Pilot}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4JTulGRnaI&list=PLCF016C0CBDF26AB8&index=3 Skyward Sword, Part 0 - "Nothing Could Ever Bad Happen Now"]]. Originally meant to start off a playthrough of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'' in 2012, it was summarily cancelled due to technical difficulties. It did, however, later inspire the metaseries as a whole, as well as the eventual return of ''Skyward Sword'' two years after the initial release.

17	!!The individual Let's Plays provide examples of:

22	* FakeOutOpening: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cyIzAtRGrU&list=PLfujXvl455i_0T_Rtxq1ixOzSQHBJi6ye&index=2 Part 0: "Spoilers"]]. Ian takes the wheel and ([[GoodBadBugs intentionally]]) glitches the game to allow a ''very'' early victory. The series proper began with Part 1 later that day. Doubles as a BonusEpisode.
23	* GratuitousJapanese: シャドースペルマ [[labelnote:romaji]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq2CsJsB1es&list=PLfujXvl455i_0T_Rtxq1ixOzSQHBJi6ye&index=9 "Shado Supuruma"]][[/labelnote]], the name used for any inky black dots that attack Link.

28	* BonusEpisode: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NImU1ZMiCiU&list=PLfujXvl455i_Kwf71U2J5zhtH8N3JRo_6&index=13 Part 11½: "Wiggle Wiggle Fish Lips"]], the entire fishing trip, uncut. Given its final length of 81 minutes, for a sidequest meant to ''end'' an already hour-long episode, it's unsurprising why it was cut down.
29	** {{Pilot}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHX0Jl5VlJg&list=PLfujXvl455i_Kwf71U2J5zhtH8N3JRo_6&index=19 Part 0: "Shitting on Our Childhood"]], the original first episode of ''Ocarina of Time'', recorded before the rest. Frustrations with Nick's [[{{Troll}} playstyle]] led the team to ditch the pilot and start again from scratch.

33
34	* BonusEpisode: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWj3AndSBBA&index=9&list=PLfujXvl455i80Tb0iDtiHpZ89pZEBYh0A Part 7½: "More Vincible"]], a neatly-packaged episode containing the footage removed from the episode proper, primarily dealing with the multiple attempts at winning the Goron race.
35	* FireForgedFriends: How John considers the team after the conclusion of the series.
36	--> '''John:''' I think we're better at doing Let's Plays now because we got through this together, [[{{Understatement}} because this was not an easy Let's Play.]]
37	* MeaningfulReleaseDate: The finale was recorded on the 14th anniversary of the game's release.
38	* NostalgiaFilter: ''Everyone'' had fond memories of this game growing up. [[BrokenPedestal Now the whole team loathes it.]]
39	* TheStinger: After the end of the final episode, Rick showed the audience [[SequenceBreaking how to skip]] [[TwoLinesNoWaiting the Anju/Kafei sidequest]], and how to put on the Fierce Deity's Mask [[GoodBadBugs outside of boss rooms]].
40	* TemptingFate: John's a little too confident in his nostalgic feelings for Majora's Mask.
41	--> '''John:''' This game is awesome, and it has always been awesome, and just 'cause we're having a hard time with this one dungeon doesn't mean we have to question the whole game.

46
47	* ArcWelding: By naming Bipin and Blossom's son "Javir", it seems Gannon [[VideoGame/TheLegendofZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds has chosen his destiny for him]].
48	* InsistentTerminology: Ricky doesn't wear gloves, he wears '''b''''gloves.

53	* MeaningfulReleaseDate: The episode [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGBqHGvYpns "Agents of S.H.O.V.E.L."]] was released on the same date as ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'''s first season finale.

65	* TheStinger: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKOvuPtkGLg&index=57&list=PLfujXvl455i-2Tyw6Zv0jyU6zXVT4RM8y Part 56: "A Link to the Past"]]. Serving as a bit of closure for a game that was released after the metaseries began, Rick attempted the thoroughly plot-irrelevant Cucco-dodging game.

70
71	* CanonWelding: ''The Legendary Let's Play'' existed long before ''LetsPlay/TheDPadTheMegaLetsPlay'', but that didn't stop the team from using ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTriForceHeroes Tri Force Heroes]]'' as the focal point of an AlternateUniverse storyline.
