Pretty inspiring.

Looking through some more of his videos..turns out he's an engineering student. Guess that explains how he setup that sweet sound system.

That's crazy! I don't fully understand how he knew where everything was, but it was impressive nonetheless.

Glad Matt Damon is getting some good screen time.




Seriously, though...that's pretty cool.

That is bad arse. I wonder how much time he has to spend on each game so that he doesn't get rooms mixed up and keep it in order. Regardless that is impressive and just down right awesome.

I like the part where he's jumping over the spikes on the moving platform... he actually does it wrong.. but since he's blind and can't see how to actually do it he makes it work anyway

Repetition... That's a lot harder than them fricks who play guitar hero with their backs to the screen in best buy.

Water Temple

Having to switch from regular to metal boots over and over again was the most annoying part of that temple. By far my least favorite

Really wish I could watch this at work right now. But did he beat the whole game? I find that extremely hard to believe. There's got to be some kind of catch. If he truly memorized every square inch of that game that is awesome, but still an incredibly huge waste of life

I think he said he beat it when he still had his eyesight. He's only on Dodongo's Cavern right now, though. He releases a new video every couple of days.

I just think it's awesome that we all found Navi annoying, but he pretty much depends on her.

And yeah, the bosses are going to be incredibly difficult.

Does she tell you where to go? I don't even remember because I would always tune her out

But just the thought blows my mind. How the hell would you do most of the dungeons I have no idea. Some has to be telling him what to do secretly...

his playthrough of Abe's Exodus was pretty sweet.

I could see that being a good game for a blind person as it is pretty auditory, but man...

She goes to potential targets and makes a noise. For a guy who is blind locking on to moving targets is pretty important.

OOT is probably my favorite game, I've played through it at least 2 or 3 times and I enjoy it every time I do. It never fails, I always get stuck at the damn water temple

I couldn't play that game that well and both my eyes work. Hearing the sounds from that game brings back great memories, though.
