The high-flying action in the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game for the Nintendo Switch system may have just begun, but a different kind of Hyrule adventure has taken place! Nintendo of America teamed up with Critical Role for a special one-shot of tabletop RPG fun, set in the world of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Focusing on an original story scenario and characters inspired by the world of the Nintendo Switch game, the one-shot features Matthew Mercer – voice actor for Ganondorf, Link’s antagonist in the game – as game master and a cast consisting of Liam O’Brien, Marisha Ray, Robbie Daymond, Emily Axford and Omar Najam.

Critical Role began as a home tabletop role-playing game in 2012 and has evolved into a multiplatform entertainment sensation dedicated to storytelling, community and imagination.
