Now let’s teach Helen Keller how to play Guitar Hero!

(Don’t even act like you’re not impressed with my ’shop skillz. I’m totally pro! I TOOK A GRAPHIC ARTS CLASS IN HIGH SCHOOL!)

Jordan Verner beat the entire game of Zelda Ocarina of Time.. and he’s blind. This makes all of us look like whining idiots when it comes to playing the Water Temple. Jordan reached his success with the help of 3 diehard gamers & Skype, having every move and action scripted for his accomplishment. One of Jordan’s helpers, Roy Williams, spent 2 years of his life beating Ocarina of Time blindfolded, using only sounds to guide him. What a champion! Roy saw YouTube videos of blind Jordan playing Zelda and thought to lend a hand.

“When I was younger, a doctor told me I would go blind, which turned out not to be so, but it scared me and I was like I want to be able to get through his disability,” said Williams.

So Williams and thee other diehard gamers each took different parts and copied down every single move.

“Every time we make a move, we roll, jump, do anything, we type down on the computer exactly what we’re doing,” said Williams.

Verner would then take the script and have his computer read it to him as he played.

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.”

“I’m glad everyone can see and learn from this that just because a person has a disability doesn’t mean they can’t do a normal thing, like play a video game,” said Williams.

“Our school’s motto — and I live by it — is the impossible is only the untried,” said Jordan.

So beautiful, I am touched.
