Blind Gamer Tackles Zelda: Ocarina of Time

[AboveUp]

The closest to this I have ever done was giving someone instruction on how to beat Zelda - Link to the Past just based on the sounds I heard on her television, without being in the same room or seeing the screen.
It was quite funny at times, when I heard the music change and I automatically went "No, not Lost Woods, go 2 screens down..."

That isn't even nearly as awesome as this is. This person is my god now.

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.

Both. The dedication of those people who made a guide for him so he could navigate through Zelda is simply amazing. Of course, playing video games without sight is really impressive.

FAKE FAKE FAKE! .....ha just kidding. that is seriously amazing.

 

[Deleric]

Dude's amazing. I wish him luck.

 

[iblis666]

wow i bet he totally rules at muds if his text to speech interface works on them wish i was half as good if i was playing blind

 

[Soxafloppin]

Wow, thats amazing, i couldnt imagine how boring though.

 

[Mr Companion]

This is quite heart-warming, its great to see such determination and i wish him the greatest luck. Although there is something quite saddening about watching him walking into an in game wall... It makes me die a little inside.

 

[Ashbax]

That's just amazing. Human ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. Kudos to him, and good luck.

I wonder how he'd do in a game of TF2.

Yipes...Id say a multiplayer FPS would be too unpredictable and fast paced.

Nevertheless, this guy is AWESOME.

 

[Aries_Split]

Fuckin' eh, that's pretty damn incredible.

Like, my testicles have shriveled in comparison.

Quite a feat. Bloke should be proud.

 

[BlindTom]

Quite simply, my hero.

 

[Monshroud]

Ok, this guy is just made of Win. I wish him the best of luck and look forward to a future video of him beating the original Contra without the 30-man code!

 

[mattttherman3]

Good luck when you have to do the water temple, or better yet, when you have to use the lense of truth to see where you go :/

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

That man is amazing. He's like Zatoichi but instead of a sword he wields a controller!!!

 

[Mr. Fister]

This is just incredible. I wish him the best of luck on his quest.

 

[Gigawolf1]

So, I'm guessing the reason this is impressive is because he's fully blind?

I say this because my legally-blind friend has played these games.

 

[WingedFortress]

I think its impressive sure, but I'm wondering what the motivation behind it all is. Frankly, Im completed flabbergasted at the whole thing. I dont know how or why he does it.

 

[Cortheya]

TAKE THAT DISABILITY!!! I respect him a lot.

 

[MasterSqueak]

Toph Bei Fong, you have met your match. This man deserves a medal- or at least an entry into the Guiness Book of World Records.

Toph cheats anyway.

Anyway, off to watch his videos.

 

[Trife]

Never seen anything like that before, that's beyond skill

 

[Polarix]

That man is amazing. He's like Zatoichi but instead of a sword he wields a controller!!!

Hey Griever, no one cares about your boring anime references, of characters that half the people here probably haven't even heard of.

Anyway, this guy is awesome and is a testament to all the blind gamers in the world just like Stevie Wonder is a testament to all blind muscians. I wish him the best of luck at completing Orcarina of Time and he is much more skilled than me because I couldn't even complete the Water Temple while he is playing through it blind, that is some serious props right there.
