Last night , Critical Roleplayed aLegend of Zelda - root on tabletop roleplaying game , and we might never get to see it , play it , or hear about it ever again . This could convert but … who knows . The point is that there is aNintendo - approved Zelda - pep up TTRPGout there , altogether playable , and nobody is handing it out or even telling us how we might be able to see it , eventually .
io9 progress to out to Critical Role and Nintendo for a input . The only affair we discover back was that this is Nintendo ’s call . We expect the companionship ’s response with bated hint .
The TTRPG also takes inspiration from Apocalypse World by Vincent and Meguey Baker — in game design parlance , a biz that does this is called “ power by the Apocalypse”—and habituate two D6 dice to determine succeeder , succeeder - with - complication , or nonstarter . It has at least three stats — Wisdom , Courage , and Power , which can add bonuses or take off from a cast .

Really , this is very little , this is almost nothing , but it ’s something , and I am go fully out of my head thinking that out there , somewhere , is 20 - ish page document that detail all of this and was created under the auspices of Nintendo . It ’s a great franchise to put into a TTRPG , and the fact that a lightweight , easy - to - play game is basically ready to go send me into a tizzy . A plenty of this is probably due to the fact that Matt Mercer , Critical Role ’s house physician GM and the game master for this one - guess voices Ganondorf in split of the Kingdom . I simply ca n’t imagine any world in which “ Critical Role creates a semi - official Zelda TTRPG ” and “ Matt Mercer voices Ganandorf ” are n’t related .
So here we go , let ’s see if this works . Dear Nintendo and Critical Role : unloosen the Zelda TTRPG ! Let me scan it ! Give it to me ! ! unloosen the people ’s princess ! ! Show me the Die - Force ! If anyone — literally anyone — emails me back with more information I will utterly let y’ all know .
