Here in the Search nav, you can.... SEARCH. Start typing a game or gamer, it will autosuggest. Press one to go, or hit Enter to get the full search results.
Below the searchbox, you'll see recent games, gamers, clubs, events, and quests you've visited.
Below that is the full site map with all of the different pages on this platform. Most of these are accessible in the other navs too. But here they're all in one place, if you're into that sort of thing.
Jump in a virtual or IRL event, tournament, or league. Participate in a Quest (a gaming challenge that you can do any time). Channel 3 has something for all skill levels, including gaming-focused daily minigames.
Go to Events below to search for real-time tournaments or other events. Quests will show you offline challenges you can complete at any time.
You may have friends here already, or you may meet your next lifelong squadmate here. Either way, Channel 3 is most fun when you find your people and can have friendly competitions and participate in challenges together.
Below you can navigate all the gamers, clubs, and causes on Channel 3.
If you'd like to create and run a Club, submit an New Club Request.
Whether it's 1 to 2, or 99 to 100, leveling up is the best feeling in the world. On Channel 3, when you participate in quests, when your post gets 1Up'd, when you crush a daily minigame, you get XP. Get 1k XP, and you level up and unlock rewards. Rewards can be custom reaction GIFs, cool backgrounds, or prize wheel spins for IRL gaming gear or in game currency.
Turbo is an optional subscription for superusers. You don't need Turbo to enjoy Channel 3. Turbo users get early access to new features, and are able to unlock more levels in a season.
On Channel 3, seasons last 3 months. They will always run January 1 - April 1, April 1 - July 1, July 1 - October 1, and October 1 - January 1.
Open channel3.gg in Chrome. Click the Install icon in the right side of the address bar:
Click Install when you get this prompt.
After installation, you can pin to the Windows taskbar alongside your other favorite apps.
Open channel3.gg in Safari. It has to be Safari.
Tap the Share button in the middle of the footer.
Tap Add to Home Screen.
Tap Add on the prompt.
BOOM. You're done. iPhones try to act like it's "just a website bookmark" because they want everyone to go through the App Store but really it functions just like an app... Full screen, moveable icon on your home screen. All of it.
Enjoy.
Install the Channel 3 app from the Google Play Store.
The stories are almost always good, combat is fun, and it's always fun to see what new weapons the games give you. The Spinner, Rod of Seasons, Harp of Ages, Bombchus, so many great weapons.
For me it's consistency of story type with the constant evolution of game type. From top down to 2D side scroller, to Cell Shaded Platformer to 3D, to 3D Open World.
The basics are the same (wit...more
Beyond LotR (which I only got into after the films) I've never been a fan of fantasy. I'm a sci-fi, cyberpunk kinda person. As interesting as the games seem now, the only thing that keeps me from pick...more
Zelda, like Elden Ring, doesn’t do it for me.
Like @darthsmeagol, I grew up as more of a Mario fan and didn’t really lean towards Zelda in its early years.
I bought Twilight Princess and Bot...more
It’s difficult for me to articulate why, but this series has just never appealed to me.
I’ve played Mario games since I was 5, but I don’t recall seeing a Zelda game in action until a friend ha...more
puzzles good (controls surprisingly bad, consistently across the series though). music good. exploration is just so much fun. I think I still remember where 90% of the overworld secrets are in Zelda 1...more
It’s the story that gets me hooked. My first LoZ was Ocarina of Time. I didn’t go back to ones before that for quite some time (and some I still haven’t), probably after Wind waker. But I always...more
I’m in the minority, I’m a not…. Why you ask? I never touched one till BotW and I just couldn’t get into it. I love open worlds and exploring, but maybe it’s just like Skyrim for me I try ov...more
Honestly haven't played through a Zelda game since Ocarina of Time. That being said, I have wanted to get back into playing again. Nostalgia reasons mostly. I always enjoyed playing Zelda games, just ...more
The very first game is one of the first and only games I beat as a kid. That helps a lot. I love the lore and the comfort in some ways. Not having a SNES and seeing Link to the Past was amazing and mi...more
@thelegendofzeldabreathofthewild was the first LOZ game I really played and I became more invested in that game than most games I played. I'm just really excited to be back in that style of world. Th...more
The gameplay, music and puzzle mechanics have been top tier since the original. Those alone can draw me in, but every new game ups the ante in building excitement at exploring and discovering new thin...more
Edited answer because apparently I can't read:
Huge Zelda fan, just not recently.
BotW lost me big time, and with how wildly praised it was, I have a suspicion that TotK will be VERY similar, so...more
Link to the Past was such a fun game and Ocarina was pretty fun too but I never owned a 64.A friend told me I needed to try BotW, so I gave it a go. From that moment on I was back in the franchise. I ...more
Breath of the Wild was the first Zelda game I played, and it was amazing. I wanted to beat the story of the game, but i also did not want to beat the game. I could just play the game for hours just ru...more
To each their own, but from the first sequel this game has never confined itself to any structure besides having Link as a protagonist. The good vs. evil structure actually as I write that isn't even ...more
I feel like the story has gotten…lazy. BotW seemed to sacrifice story elements for an open world. The SNES and N64 Zelda games were its heyday.
However, I’m somewhat interested in TotK beca...more
I love getting immersed in Zelda games, the adventure, the puzzles and the sword skills!
I kinda miss him being the left handed hero, but will always hold a special place in my gaming library!
Anytime a new game releases it's another addition to the greatest story in gaming. The history and lore of this universe is massive. So much so that there are books reminiscent of old school encyclope...more
I don't remember when but I do remember going to my friend's house and seeing him play this game that looked exciting and new and full of adventure.
My first real zelda game was Link's Awakening on...more
Zelda is the game series for me. It started with Zelda II. As you know by now I love this game. I would go over to a friend's house and we would pretend to be Link jumping from couch to table as if we...more
