This story reminds me of a good friend of mine from college who is blind and has a prosthetic leg but is one of the strongest – mentally and physically – individuals I know. Very good guy, just like the folks involved here.
Jordan Verner is blind. And he posted a few videos of himself playing through parts of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Youtube. But he wanted more, he wanted to beat the whole game. Thankfully, Roy Williams saw his videos.
An average gamer will take about a week to play through the entire thing, but this project took almost 2 years and more than 100,000 keystrokes. Finally, Jordan beat the entire thing.“I felt great,” said Jordan. “I felt strong. I felt like the sky’s the limit.”
