Blindfolded Zelda Tears of the Kingdom speedrunner who beat the game in under 3 hours has a rare gift that helps him memorize video games, but there's written instructions if you don't

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

A legendary Zelda super-fan has beat Tears of the Kingdom, while blindfolded, in about as long as it took me to leave the Great Sky Islands with both eyeballs in play. 

Eric, otherwise known by his creator handle PointCrow, posted the frankly awe-inspiring video on YouTube. Over its two hours and 15-minute long runtime, the intrepid TOTK genius expertly makes his way through Hyrule, defeats the Demon Dragon on his very first try, and rescues the princess in near record time for blindfolded speedruns; the current record sits at one hour and 49 minutes, according to Speedrun.com.
