Internet allows blind man to experience life’s greatest joy: playing Ocarina of Time

The Worldwide Leader in News, CNN, has just broken the story that blind gamer Jordan Verner has been able to beat the second greatest game ever, Ocarina of Time, with help from some internet friends. CNN, apparently aware of the transcendent experience that is OoT, correctly decided the story was worthy of publishing in the most prominent portion of their site.

The story begins with one of Verner’s internet assistants, Roy Williams, demonstrating what it’s like to play the N64 classic without sight. He then quickly admits that such a task may seem “ultra nerdy,” but it is quickly revealed that his efforts are for a truly grand cause. Williams, along with two others, spent two years writing explicit instructions for every move required to beat Ocarina without being able to see. Verner took their instructions, and had his computer read them out to him, so that he might experience the glory of what Huffington Post affectionately refers to as “the Zelda.”
