Playing Video Games Blind(folded)

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is particularly challenging. But without the use of one's eyes, the Water Temple and the Deku Tree are next to impossible.

This was the challenge Jordon Verner, a young Ontarian gamer, faced. Regardless of his blindness, the teenager was determined to best the caverns and dungeons of Hyrule. So where did he turn? The Internet, of course! Posting videos on Youtube, Jordon asked for help in completing the entire game — help he never expected would come.

But assistance finally arrived in the form of a fellow Zelda fan from South Carolina, named Roy Williams. This is the story of one gamer helping another overcome a serious disability, and the move-by-move walkthrough they wrote together. Break out the tissues, because there's no shame in crying [via Geekologie].
