A Zelda: Ocarina of Time specialist has completed a fully randomised playthrough of the game without ever taking a hit, a feat that took roughly 16 months of attempts to achieve. Randomiser runs scramble the locations of items, equipment and other key elements throughout the game, forcing players to adapt their route and strategy on the fly rather than relying on memorised sequences, which makes combining this with a "hitless" challenge—avoiding all damage—especially demanding. The achievement highlights the enduring dedication of the Ocarina of Time speedrunning and challenge-run community more than 25 years after the game's original release.

The player, who spent well over a year working towards the goal, admitted they had doubts the run would ever come together, saying "I genuinely didn't think it was gonna happen." Completing a randomised seed hitless requires surviving every enemy encounter and boss fight without foreknowledge of item placement, adding a significant layer of unpredictability and risk compared with standard hitless runs of the base game. The feat has been celebrated within the wider retro gaming and speedrunning community as an example of the extreme skill and patience such challenge runs demand.
