This guy (runnerguy2489 on Twitch) is currently beating Ocarina of Time with a BLINDFOLD ON (without glitches). I know you guys don't like advertisements but I thought this was interesting enough to share.

Didn't he already do this? Or is this a different guy?

Usually we have an e-celeb general for this, but one doesn't seem to be up right now

People do these kinds of runs all the time. Watched a Pokemon Yellow one a few days ago. Once you've been running a game for long enough, it's not that huge of a stretch to do a blindfolded run.

3D games are a whole different beast. I've literally never seen anyone else do a blindfolded run of a 3D game.

Why do you guys like speedrunning so much but don't care about games that require actual skills like competitive fighters?

he has a pillowcase on his head, I doubt he's completely blinded just from that

Just look at his gameplay. It seems pretty legit. Also, his preparation seems sufficient for completing the game blind

He's done OoT 100% blindfolded in a ton of seperate sessions and he's done little challenges like "child dungeons (glitched)" blindfolded. I don't think he's ever just done a normal glitchless playthrough of the game blindfolded in one sitting.

>> No.4079703

As a kid I know I used to do fairly lengthy chunks of OoT with my eyes closed

It's both a game you play so much you memorize everything but it's also a game with so many player controlled sound cues that you can almost always tell what's going on

I watched for a minute and noticed the guy caught the chickens by repeatedly playing the sun song to reset himself to the same spot after each one, and he calibrated his aim into their pen by listening for Navi flying to Anju

Also the whole "swing your sword and see if you hear a thump or a clang" thing is obvious

I've seen the stream for about a couple of seconds. This guy dedicates his life to playing Ocarina of Time. That's a true testament to how much of a fan he is.

yeah been watching for a few minutes now and you're right. this is madness though.
