I know for fact that I've completed both of the oracle games without a walkthrough, because in 2001 when those came out we didn't have a computer or internet connection yet, so no walkthroughs for me. Same goes for Link's Awakening. (Although after I found out about the 'true ending' I was tickled....)
Maybe my creativity or problem solving skills withered over time (maybe I just go too lazy to pour hours of trial and error into a game, now that I've got stuff to do! ;P), or maybe some things in oot are just obscure, because I really didn't know what to do after certain points of the game.
I have one savefile in WW going blind and one I played with a walkthrough, because I like going in and see what I missed the first time.
I tried to do a blind run of the original nes game on the 3ds virtual console, only help allowed was the official (incomplete) map that came with the game + manual. I printed the map out and spend hours drawing in the rest of the map as accurately as possible. Fun times. I got pretty far but never completed it, though.
Spirit tracks I played blind up to the final battle, and just before that I got out a walkthrough and went onto a massive collectible/fetchquest sidetrack.
So it's mixed for me, most of the games I'm pretty sure I can beat without help, 100% completion is another thing though and instead of walking around aimlessly I usually use guides to achieve that.
