Out-of-Control Trivia

**Out-of-Control Trivia** is the name that has been given to Brandon's trivia posts, as they are often unexpectedly open-ended, leading to cascades of answers that explore far beyond the solutions thought of by whoever posed the question. At times Nintendoer or others have taken up the reigns to post a trivia question under this name, but Brandon is undeniably the king of crafting this brand of trivia challenge.

While it may seem frustrating to some if a trivia question does not have a specific, grounded answer, to those who participate in Out-of-Control Trivia, that is part of the fun. The discussions often careen off-topic into philosophical side-arguements that greatly expand the scope of the conversation beyond the typical trivia back-and-forth of "Here's my answer" and "You're correct."

These questions generally have pertained to the Zelda series or its spinoffs, but future editions of Out-of-Control Trivia could hypothetically be about anything, or at least any Nintendo series, while still embodying the same spirit.

## List of Questions

See below for the complete list of Brandon's posts of this variety on Miiverse. Brandon created some additional trivia posts on MV Haven, which are also listed.
