Introduction
Let's Play OoT Blind!
Wait...what?
I can assure you, your eyes are not deceiving you. I have never, at any point in the 16 years since it was released played Ocarina of Time. Not only that but I've managed to not absorb a single piece of knowledge about it. Literally all I know about this game is that almost everyone hates Navi, fuck the water temple, Hyrule Field is huge and there are ocarinas and time travel. I've played most of the 2D Zeldas but I've never played any of the 3D ones except for watching my girlfriend play through the first couple of hours of Wind Waker. For the record, I've also never played any other N64 game.
So why do an LP?
Two reasons. One, for reasons I won't get into here, I've never actually played a lot of the "classic" games that defined the childhoods of people who were growing up in the 90s and as a consequence, I hold no nostalgia for them whatsoever. Combine this with playing these games as an adult, in the year 2014 and you get a unique perspective on the design, progression and gameplay of these games. Secondly, most people who have already played this game have played it to death and know every secret, every hidden item, every easter egg. They know the game inside out. Part of what I love about games like this is the joy of discovering all these new and fun little things, and in my own strange way I want you guys to be able to relive that joy and excitement through me!
So does that mean you're going to constantly criticise the game?
Not even a little bit! If I notice something that really rubs me the wrong way, like genuinely bad or poorly thought out mechanics, or a plot point that makes no sense, I will call it out and hope it sparks fun conversation with both the thread and my co-pilot! But my intention is just to play this game and enjoy discovering it for the first time!
How much editing will there be?
As little as possible. If I get stuck on a puzzle for an hour I will speed through the footage or do a jump-cut but beyond that, everything is recorded live and nothing will be edited out or glossed over! For better or worse, this is a completely blind LP!
So are you doing this on your own?
Goodness no! Doing it on my own would make this already big project twice as long as it needs to be and to tell the truth I'm not nearly charismatic enough to pull off solo commentary. For every episode I will have a co-pilot along with me. Their purpose is to both give me someone to talk to and to help me out when I get stuck, or to poke me in the right direction if I get lost. Its like having my own personal Navi!
So what's your spoiler policy?
Okay, I know most people have played this game so this is gonna be a little strange to deal with but
Absolutely no spoilers at all under any circumstances this is a no black bar zone! Part of the reason I've been so excited about starting this LP is because there are very few people who actually can do it blind and I don't want to ruin that part of the premise! I know very very little about this game and I'd like to be surprised by all the little things it has to offer so please don't ruin it for me

I tried drawing an animation of the noscoping octorok, but photoshop is a pain to animate in, so it turned out quite... rudimentary

Since Artix got a couple of certificates for his spinoff, it's appropriate for you to get a couple too. But one will have to wait until the end.
