Blind Gamer Tackles Zelda: Ocarina of Time

[Azraellod]

...wow. that is amazing.

there is no way i could do what he is doing. i feel so inferior to him...

 

[PhantomCritic]

I'm seriously worried that he may be better then me at this.

He IS better at playing this than me. -_-

Hats off to this guy's technique at this, it's almost...god-like.

 

[jamesworkshop]

graphics don't matter brings a new meaning to it

 

[Erana]

I saw this guy months ago doing only boss battles...
Its amazing to see him able to do this, and a testament to the game itself.

 

[Bigsmith]

This man must be one of the incarnation of a gaming god!

 

[JordanMillward_1]

This guy is awesome!

 

[El Poncho]

I've never played the old zelda games to young I do remember playing a zelda sort of just running about when I was about 5 at a party I was at thats my earliest memory of zelda

OP: This guy is amazing playing it blind .

 

[jboking]

My...my god. I can't even imagine going through LoZ:OoT blind the very first time without rage quitting. He is actually doing very well given the circumstances.

 

[TaborMallory]

Holy sweet goodness.

I wonder how he'd do with a metroid game.

Must resist the urge to make a Courage Wolf statement...

 

[Chaossebba]

Dude plays like he's blind.

Oh, wait.

Uncool, bro.

I think its really amazing, i myself couldnt even begin to imagine what it must be like to even try this. Best of luck to him!

 

[Kellerb]

that is awesomeness. FIGHT THE MACHINE!!!

or blindness. that works too.

 

[Xanadeas]

His first time through the cave in Kokiri Forest to get the sword and he didn't even get nailed by the boulder. I got hit by it at least once by running into a wall when trying to turn. And I'm not blind. DX Props to him. :3

 

[Rednog]

...what?

This man is a god. Nothing more needs to be said. His method is quite interesting to watch actually. And it's just incredible, this man doesn't even need his sight to play and finish this game. Something I just wouldn't have deemed possible. I'm trying to figure out how some of the battles will pan out though, like dark link and some of the regular grunts.

His first videos show him beating dark link and most of the end bosses.

 

[Niccolo]

Haha, wow... this guy is made of epicness and win. There's no other real way to say it.

there's a larger point in here about accessibility in video games. there's been plenty of alternate controllers over the years, and there was controversy a few years ago when they cut the subtitles out of assassin's creed, but video games have always been a primarily visual medium. some developer should hire this kid as a consultant and get him designing games accessible for the blind. there's an untapped market, here.

I know a guy (well sorta) who became blind after a failed operation. And he simply kicks everyone's ass at every fighting game he plays.

what gets me is the fact that he isn't a gamer who went blind. i could understand the motivation then. this kid was blind from birth, but something possesses him to sit down and try to play video games. i can't fathom what could possibly give him the will to do this, and that makes it all the more incredible.

Dude plays like he's blind.

Oh, wait.

Don't dis a guy who could probably kick your ass inside out in a game.

hell, he may even kick your ass OUTSIDE a game:


EDIT: forgot i could embed video!

 

[Cavouku]

That is balls-to-the-walls awesomeness. Playing the classic Zelda: Ocarina of Time, blind. Having always been blind. There is nothing half as awesome as that, and until he does that with... Siren Blood Curse comes to mind, there will never be anything quite so awesome.

 

[DiamondJim]

Wow. This guy has some real grit. Hope he does some more, and I bet he gets a real sense of accomplishment out of it. He should!

That game was hard enough for me even with sight!

 

[Evilbunny]

I'm not sure which is more impressive, the blind guy playing the game, or the guys who wrote the guide so that a blind person could play.

 

[megatron2.0]

wow.... just wow..... thats so insanely amazing... im speechless. he deserves a round of applause *clap*

 

[Jumplion]

That is balls-to-the-walls awesomeness.

It's balls-to-the-Great-Walls awesome. This guy deserves every single thread of win in this world, with sauce of the awesome poured on top of those threads.
