Forget blindfolded runs, a Switch 2-exclusive challenge emerges as fan proves you can play Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom with your Joy-Con attached the wrong way

The Switch 2 is finally here, which of course means that Nintendo fans are finding new ways to challenge themselves in-game – including one skilled Tears of the Kingdom player, who is able to play the game with their Joy-Con attached backwards.

Yes, you read that right. Forget about blindfolded speedruns, Japanese Zelda fan "Peco" has found a new way to challenge himself. As Peco highlights in a recent online post, players can actually insert their Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers the wrong way around on the new handheld console and have them remain functional, effectively allowing them to play games entirely backwards without seeing any of the action firsthand themselves.
