After 135 Attempts and a Year of Setbacks, Streamer Completes Impossible Zelda: Ocarina of Time Run!
The The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time community has spent decades finding new ways to make Nintendo’s classic adventure even more challenging. While speedruns, randomizers, and custom rules have become a major part of the scene, Twitch streamer MajinPhil has taken things to another level with one of the most punishing challenges imaginable.
After more than a year of failed attempts, countless resets, and heartbreaking defeats, the streamer finally completed the game under extreme conditions: a fully randomized playthrough combined with a strict no-hit rule.
Every mistake meant starting over
The challenge transformed Ocarina of Time into a completely unpredictable experience thanks to a randomizer. Enemies, items, and important elements of the game could appear in entirely different locations, forcing MajinPhil to adapt his strategy with every new attempt.
But the real difficulty came from the additional restrictions. MajinPhil was not allowed to take a single hit, use any glitches, skip any bosses, or even rely on his shield for protection.
One mistake was enough to end the entire run, meaning the save file had to be deleted and the streamer had to start from scratch.
The 135th attempt finally succeeds
After 18 months of dedication, numerous failures, and countless frustrating resets, MajinPhil’s persistence finally paid off. The streamer completed the impossible-looking challenge live on Twitch during his 135th attempt.
The successful run lasted around 11 hours. When the credits finally rolled on Ocarina of Time, the relief and excitement were clear to see. Viewers celebrated the achievement alongside him, flooding the stream with congratulations.
Many fans praised the run as one of the most impressive accomplishments in the Zelda challenge community in recent years.

What’s next for MajinPhil?
It remains unclear whether MajinPhil plans to take on more Zelda games with similarly brutal rules. After such a demanding challenge, taking some time away would certainly be understandable.
Another interesting question is whether he might eventually attempt the same challenge in the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake – assuming the new version allows for similar challenge runs.
One thing is certain: MajinPhil’s patience, determination, and dedication are on another level. His no-hit randomizer run stands as one of the most impressive achievements in the Zelda challenge scene. A truly remarkable accomplishment. What do you think about the challenge?
