Thank you very much for letting me perform this run!!! It had some bigger mistakes, but I am happy I pushed through without loosing focus till the end! Hope the viewers enjoyed it ❤
Great run man! I think the mistakes just illustrate how incredibly challenging doing this run blindfolded really is. Can’t believe that this is even possible.
You did an amazing job, thank you for the awesome run! Even with those mistakes, you still managed to fit well within your time estimate of 1:45! Before this I'd only seen the Great Plateau blindfolded, never even considered the full ganon gauntlet to be reasonable to do in a marathon run! Congrats on the run, and hope you had an amazing GDQ experience overall (:
man this was the first time i seen a blindfolded botw this was insanely impressive just getting the paraglider alone wouldve been awesome enough but to beat all 5 ganon fights just wow amazing run man congrats
Honestly the several restarts at Thunder Blight made this more impressive to me. Often when runs are perfect, it's easy to lose perspective but when he struggles with the same part over and over, it reminds me how insanely difficult and precise the whole thing is. Amazing run!
My favourite thing about almost any GDQ run is learning in real time about all the knowledge and techniques the runner is using. It's all so fascinating and impressive.
Absolutely *wild*, no pun intended. Very interesting what tech is used, too! All the normalized movement stuff just blows my mind. Thank you for performing and showing this amazing run.
Watching everyone pour money to get this run to happen was amazing. A shame it was way too late starting for me to stay up for it all. Can’t want to see what I missed.
I've been watching GDQ from time to time, speedruns are amazing, all the tech and discoveries are really mind boggling in general, but blindfolded speedrun is really just something else. The tension on these Ganon fights, damn. GJ Bubzia.
I work so many hours in the week. 50-60 hours and don’t have much free time to watch the live runs so thank you very much for continuing to upload every game run. I really appreciate gdq and the runners that do this (:
not gonna lie; I've only ever seen one other GDQ run without an end-time in the VOD's title, so I was a bit nervous if this was gonna be an abandoned run. Happy to see that that was not the case here
This is freaking incredible. I remember always thinking "One day i'm going to hop back on BOTW and try one of those INSANELY tough 3 heart challenges... Ganon only took me 10 tries... with 15 hearts.... and all 4 divine beasts complete...." but 3 heart speedrun, BLINDFOLDED?!?!?!?!?!?!? What the actual heck.
This reminds me so much of the blindfolded OoT child dungeons run by Runnerguy at AGDQ 2015, you can feel the tension in the crowd rising as he is progressing through the game. Well deserved applause at the end, impressive stuff!
Im just in amazement, wow this speedrun is incredible, but blindfolded. Im speechless. The hours he must have put in to achieve this must be insane. Respect.
Bubzia is a legend of blindfolded running. It’s incredible seeing a master at work and hearing someone who somehow managed to surpass him on the phone.
The sound language in BotW is phenomenal, and I'd highly recommend checking out Scruffy's video on BotW's Invisible Sound Design for an even closer look at how unique the sound is in this game!
Mitchriz: "Once again, as long as he's got that bomb out he will not fall off as he walks across." CrystalSaver: "Actually the bomb prevents him from grabbing onto the tree..." MetroidMaster: "Oh yeah it's like that glitch in OoT which prevents him from walking off the ledge." CrystalSaver: _sigh..._ Although many never figure it out, ledge protection is a basic feature of this game when holding ZL. You can see it right after that when he's standing on the ledges on the wall and he holds his shield out and clearly has ledge protection. They just can't tell that he's holding ZL because he has the bomb out.

Bro you are insane congrats on the run
That's some gaming skill right there 👌

One of the most impressive gdq runs I've ever seen!
This is impressive as hell. I’m visually impaired and made SO MANY mistakes just playing normally…fell off the tower six times lol
My favourite thing about almost any GDQ run is learning in real time about all the knowledge and techniques the runner is using. It's all so fascinating and impressive.
"Thunderblight is... hard." Yeah, with your eyes open. This is next level.
Me:
So how's BotW?
Bubzia :
It sounded great.
"I can't wait to SEE how I did!"
... and French
Best sound design in gaming. Seriously.
“Who died and made him king” absolute golden joke.
Love the "The rocket knows where it is because it knows where it isn't" reference in that dono
That was amazing, blindfolded?!! This is now one of my favorite runs
This is almost unbelievable. I knew blindfolded play-through’s were a thing but I’ve never watched one. Absolutely incredible
Poor Bubzia had to be dragged away from TOTK to play BOTW!
Blindfolded runs at GDQs never disappoint! This one is up there with zallard’s blindfolded super punch out run for sure
Absolutely *wild*, no pun intended. Very interesting what tech is used, too! All the normalized movement stuff just blows my mind. Thank you for performing and showing this amazing run.
What... I'm sad to have missed this live. Wish Bubsia could have seen it live too 😞
Watching everyone pour money to get this run to happen was amazing. A shame it was way too late starting for me to stay up for it all. Can’t want to see what I missed.
GDQ has the best fans. They really showed up
Bubzia was looking forward to seeing what he missed too
This was awesome, Bubzia has such a strong mental being able to stay on track even after setbacks great job

Bubzia is back with another blindfold legend.
The amount of dedication and skill to pull this off! Cherry on-top of this SGDQ.
blind chef still cook like a pro
well that took a wile to upload.... YAY GLAD ITS HERE!!
All the respect for learning how to do this.
One of the best GDQ runs ever
pretty impressive!
with a live audience too!
That was a fricking amazing run. Thanks for showcasing it. Enjoyed it very much. Mad respect. Great commentators also. Well done.
1:01:36 he really made a reference to Capcom vs SNK 2 😂 I love these nerds
What an incredible run! I love this so so much. No notes 10/10 first try!
Glad to see the run presented at a GDQ! You did an amazing job showing what our little niche community can do!
Thunder blight looks like an absolute nightmare blindfolded
It was an absolute nightmare sighted, I can't imagine doing it on sound cues only.
i haven't got that far yet but i'm assuming you can use the sound of his movement "whooshes" to just time a parry or dodge
I work so many hours in the week. 50-60 hours and don’t have much free time to watch the live runs so thank you very much for continuing to upload every game run. I really appreciate gdq and the runners that do this (:
This might me the most impressive run I've ever seen, great job !
I'm only 10 minutes in, and this is already an incredible Speedrun to discover
This could be my favorite speedrun I've seen so far. Amazing work.
the blindfolded BLSS showcase at the end was very "does he know?"
Ngl those Ganon blights were STRESSFUL
Very impressive. Great run
I saw this live and it was absolutely incredible and tense to watch. Amazing run and I will happily rewatch!

Dude how do you remember all that. BUBZIA GOATED. IMAGINE THE FEELING ON THAT STAGE!!!!!
Watching this meanwhile remembering that I've blown myself up with no less than 87 bomb flower arrows in TotK since yesterday.
So incredible!!
Amazing run!!!
oh my God! I just couldn't believe the title when I saw it! Absolute amazing!!!
i can barely play this game with my eyes open, so this is freaking amazing LMAO
This reminds me so much of the blindfolded OoT child dungeons run by Runnerguy at AGDQ 2015, you can feel the tension in the crowd rising as he is progressing through the game. Well deserved applause at the end, impressive stuff!
Lmao the dude on the couch doing Capcom vs SNK 2 announcer intros got me 😂
Im just in amazement, wow this speedrun is incredible, but blindfolded. Im speechless. The hours he must have put in to achieve this must be insane. Respect.
What a great run! Glad I got to see it live
"I thought I was playing Minish Cap"
I watch this live and truly was an amazing run. Definitely worth a watch even if you are not a legend of zelda fan.
Most impressive speed run I’ve ever seen. Well done sir.
Legendary! Wouldn't be surprised if this run goes down in gdq history
thats commitment
Speechless. What an amazing run with once again great couch commentators.
Blindfolded runs are always insane. The amount of skill you need is unparalleled, congrats bubzia.
Amazing stuff
I put this on for background to fall asleep to, but I was too interested and now the sun's up.
Absolutely amazing run and commentary!
Amazing! I love, GAMES DONE QUICK!!!!
This is nothing less than an Amazing accomplishment, how damn impressive!!!!
Honestly a super impressive feat. Well done to the runner!
This was AMAZING !! I wouldn't have belived this was possible if someone told me this... Good job !!
Stayed up way too late watching this run, and it was absolutely worth it
This is nuts
Amazing run! Glad to see it on the official source.
Bubzia is a legend of blindfolded running.
It’s incredible seeing a master at work and hearing someone who somehow managed to surpass him on the phone.
That was SO EPIC!!
This was super interesting and so well done!
No one in the crowd was loving it but the fighting game references were hilarious and I loved them.
GET READY FOR THE NEXT BATTLE
LETS GO JUSTIN
Amazing feat!!
What an absolute legend. My god.
“Let’s goooo Juuustiiin!” What an epic reference and deservedly so! Wonderful run!
If there was ever a video that deserved millions of views..
It's too amazing!!!
The ending is absolutely stunning! ^^
Been waiting for a blindfold speedrun of BoTW
This is nuts. So, so, so impressive...
Ive always wanted to go to one of these.seems like a good time.
The sound language in BotW is phenomenal, and I'd highly recommend checking out Scruffy's video on BotW's Invisible Sound Design for an even closer look at how unique the sound is in this game!
I want to see someone do a blindfolded run with googly eyes on the blindfold
Bubzia is a living legend!
Ridiculous. Magic. Insane. Can't believe he missed the korok
Very cool and impressive run!
Very cool!
In the immortal words of the Merovingian, "Okay, you have some skill".
absolute nuts GJ !!! =)
Mitchriz: "Once again, as long as he's got that bomb out he will not fall off as he walks across."
CrystalSaver: "Actually the bomb prevents him from grabbing onto the tree..."
MetroidMaster: "Oh yeah it's like that glitch in OoT which prevents him from walking off the ledge."
CrystalSaver: _sigh..._
Although many never figure it out, ledge protection is a basic feature of this game when holding ZL. You can see it right after that when he's standing on the ledges on the wall and he holds his shield out and clearly has ledge protection. They just can't tell that he's holding ZL because he has the bomb out.
Amazing
Legendary bubzia
I cant quite believe this is real, the amount of practice this must of have taken is unfathomable
The sheer amount of shit you have to memorize to be able to do a speedrun like this is absolutely insane. Absolutely fantastic job!
I still remember being blown away by Punch-Out! blindfolded but I never imagined something like this. Amazing work!
Bruh that was amazing 10/10 viewing experience
I'm a few minutes in and already only thinking about how much stuff the runner will have to deal with going forward. This will be insane.
Audio designers must love these runs
Great run, and great couch
I bet this guy never forgets his lunch in the fridge in the morning.
Having just played TotK botw feels weirdly empty
So cool he is doing it blind folded
