I came across this video of this visually impaired guy who memorized the stages and used stereo speakers to navigate around Zelda OOT... I just thought I'd leave this here:

I am impressed, to say the least. Who would have thought Navi could be so helpful?

Have you seen this http://www.oddworld.com/?p=394 ?

After reading it I thought, it would be great if game designers could create an audio only game. A fully voiced sound novel would be cool but of course the script, voice acting and recording equipment would have to be the best quality.

Thankfully I found these guys seem to have the same idea

That's cool and all, but can he beat the Water Temple?

This could come close, it's a game where the only visual is a dark screen, and you navigate by sound.
