Background and Inspiration

The series was requested occasionally by users of the mod, and JKalenad had been interested in the idea of playing Skyrim using only items from Relics of Hyrule, to prove how extensive the mod was.

After asking his YouTube audience regarding their interest, the first episode of the series was recorded and released. JKalenad releases one or two episodes each week. Episodes that cover major dungeons like Kinolangdanzel are released on consecutive days.
