(San Francisco, CA) October 3, 2013 – The globally acclaimed “The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses” concert tour will include a special booth at multiple upcoming shows to support Extra Life, a fundraising program of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals that organizes a 24-hour gaming marathon each autumn. In the marathon, participants play games to raise money for a local children’s hospital of their choice. People can learn more about the charity and register for the marathon at the following tour locations:

Tens of thousands of gamers join together during the Extra Life gaming marathon to save the lives of local kids. From console games to tabletop RPG's to even lawn sports, Extra Life gives people a chance to play and make a difference at the same time. Additionally, though originally designed as a 24-hour marathon of gaming, Extra Life has evolved to mean different things to different people, though most participants still attempt the marathon.

“Extra Life is a truly wonderful program that is changing the lives of children,” says Jason Michael Paul, executive producer of “The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses” tour. “We are honored and privileged to help them spread the word at our concerts.”

Based on one of the most popular and beloved video game series of all time, “The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses” —which has been hailed as a modern classic—chronicles fan-favorite moments from the franchise’s rich and storied history, carefully and expertly timed with a gorgeous, larger-than-life orchestral score. The name "Symphony of the Goddesses" refers not only to the concert program but also to the four-movement symphony recounting the classic storylines from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and more,

The concert, which is continuously being updated with new tour dates, is a festive event for all walks of fans who are encouraged to don their Hero’s tunics and Master Swords for the experience of a lifetime.
