I watched it yesterday, and man, was that a trip. It was the first blindfolded speedrun I watched and it's just ridiculous what some people can do with enough determination.

I am entirely inspired. I want to do this. Probably don't want to jump in the deep end here but I'm hunting for communities.
I watched live, Thunderblight is the most south I've seen a big run go in awhile. I was so worried we were gonna have another time out, but they pulled through in the end. What an exciting run.
I remember thinking that blindfolded Punch Out run a while back was amazing, but this is something else entirely. I can't imagine the amount of hours put into learning something like this
Especially because I'm sure there's a lot more that goes into this that we don't see. Like you gotta have backup strategies for when something unexpected happens. You have to somehow be able to recover from that and you can't just always reload a save. That same runner also has a whole lot of blindfolded super Mario 64 runs some of which were also at gdq and it is amazing to watch. I highly recommend.
I still haven't even beaten that game and I'm a couple of hundred hours in..
Absurd challenge runs are one of the funniest type to watch. Can't wait for what they could come up with TOTK.
Am now looking up weird speedrunning challenges like this. It's fantastic
