obviously it isn't as impressive as if it were an actual blind man, but it's still damn impressive and I would never be able to do it. Awesome stuff

I really don't find this special considering I've seen a blind person complete the game...

Blind guy had the advantage over guy trying to be blind. :P

This guy deserves a huge trophy. He's the first of his kind, and can do something no one else can so far. When I say he deserves a trophy, I mean I seriously want to see him get a trophy.

When I finish up with my current playthrough of Ocarina of Time, I might get around to watching his entire series.


Perhaps we should fashion one for him and send it to him.

As much as I'd like to give this guy a thumbs up for his time and effort at proving anything is possible if you have the time, I think he deserves a "great job" at most.  This seems like a million monkeys on a million typewriters kinda situation.

I already thought this happened before, but that's probably what I read about that blind person. That was amazing. I've also once seen this guy play the Spirit Temple blind folded and he accidentally encountered a glitch, went out of bounds and was totally lost. That was pretty funny.

Anyway, of course very impressive, you really need to know a game like the back of your hand to be able to pull this off.

Yes, a blind person has beaten the game before. He did get extensive help though from the person you see in the video in the OP.

Though he did beat the game he didn't get a 100% completion though, which is what this guy just managed to accomplish. That includes all heart pieces, all golden skulltulas, all upgrades, etc. Some of which requiring extensive knowledge, skill and luck, such as the Kakariko shooting gallery.

As an FYI, Runnerguy started this challenge one year ago.

Arguable.  

Guy who was trying to be blind, likely has a better idea what is going on in the game.  Assuming he's played something not blindfolded.  

Sure he has more experience being blind, but trying to be blind, that guy also had more visual experience with a virtual game which counts for a lot.  

Let's be honest, both had advantages and disadvantages so let's call it a draw. :P
