ven is an Ultimate Zelda player from Las Vegas, Nevada who was the best Zelda player in the early metagame. He was the first Zelda player to rank globally, ranking 83rd on the OrionRank Ultimate: Six Months In, and had many of the best Zelda performances at majors during this time, including placing 17th at 2GG: Prime Saga defeating ESAM and 33rd at 2GG: Kongo Saga defeating Elegant.
