    Wait you memorized all those steps?? That's insane dude I can't remember what I did an hour ago
  • @noahark5562
    Missed opportunity to take off the blindfold and say: 'wait, is that king Rhoam Bosphramus Hyrule!?" Still, incredibly impressive run my guy! Seriously well done!
  • @FrozenMelody
    Thanks for the shout out! Glad to see the majority of my route being replicated by another person (and snickering at all the hidden "gotcha" moments). Super happy to see you finally pull it off after many weeks of training! Absolutely love how you explained each strat during the route, speeding up repetitive sections and retries, while focusing on the unique parts of progress. Is there any chance to get a separate VOD of the full run to post on the blindfolded website?
  • Crow mentioning the beauty of the game: Also crow not even looking at the game the whole time:
  • @Jak_Grajeda
    Imagine Zelda seeing Link hopping all over the place and think “Did the Resurrection Shrine turn his brain into one of a frog?”
  • @gervinspoos
    Crow's way of memorizing directions and # of hops as well as his chart of the days and weeks sounds an awful lot like Spatial Sequence Synesthesia. While I don't have it myself, my aunt and cousin both share this and it's crazy to see someone online who shares the experience!
  • @Foxiiglove
    Crow casually explaining what to me sounds like synesthesia is so fascinating. What a great video
  • @arlay3513
    Pointcrow blindfolded: descends the Sheikah Tower like a boss, with all the great timings Pointcrow normally: fails to survive this exact sequence in almost every video.
  • @BewbsOP
    As soon as he starts describing memorization as shades of color, I got so confused. That's such a unique way of doing it. Memorizing sequences is always sound for me. I used to be able to go for a crazy long tong on simon based on the sounds alone.
  • @DAMNEvanescence
    I love how he casually describes his experience of synesthesia (a fairly rare condition) and doesn't seem to realise lol this is so cool!
  • @Knightshadess
    Love how he struggles to really explain what's going through his mind, and the best way to describe how he thinks of his days, weeks, etc. Is with literal pictures that I 100% understand.
  • @onlysmiles4949
    Fun fact: The whole "tying a color/shape to an idea" memorization strategy is also how people are able to do things like memorize and recall the order of a shuffled deck of cards. The human brain remembers ideas like this a lot better than just raw data
  • “Your resourcefulness in overcoming this trial speaks to the promise of a hero…”
  • @Woah_Egg
    I can just imagine Zelda looking at Link and thinking “that is the guy who will save Hyrule?”
  • You know what, even though i still dont get the color shape memorizing concept thing, i still find it COOL AS HELL and THE FACT THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO REMEMBER IT, pure admiration
  • @laylau_07
    It's so insane Crow is able to memorize all these specific movements to complete this, it's incredibly impressive! Pro gamer moment🙌
  • @RoRo13890
    The way you memorise things/visualise things is really interesting! I’ve heard of similar things where some people hear a musical note and they sorta see/feel a certain colour associated with it, so I presume it’s to some degree similar to that.
