I'm just not so sure it is inaccurate. After all, as I said, you do have to do everything you did up to that point all over again. So in the end, it's just LIKE you did everything you did up to that point again without needing to actually do it. After all, if I reached that point feeling as though I did it all perfectly, I would most assuredly do it all the same way again anyway. I'd say it's an accurate appraisal of skill in that it says you can get through any single part of the game without dying. A step above that is showing you can get through the ENTIRE game without dying in a single run. LTTP provided me that challenge, and it was fun (though pretty easy after getting a few bottles). Zelda 2 will also provide that challenge when I finally take up that cup. One of these days, I will go ahead and get my death/save counter in that game down from 11 to 0...
Anyway, that is impressive. I just disagree that in games where I can simply reset and it doesn't record saves, it's somehow cheating.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
