@Don Lapham I found this amusing too lol. Most of the gaming community I find watches a lot of the same things. I've ran into people from other sites in UA-cam comments. Surprising but not too surprising
Loved the genuine reaction. Subbed for that and the skills and the person arcus is...Fan forever now and I'm now gona get into nes speed running too at 41inspired by this young man
I’m barely into watching speedrunners but your reaction and gameplay plus these comments are just too wholesome. A lot of people really like your skills and personality. Good for you, man!
Getting depressed about the state of our country right now, figured id give this go-to mood booster a shot and man if it doesnt work every time to put you in a better place mentally, idk what does. Love this run. You rock, Arcus.
His reaction at the end..the pure joy and jubilation.. it’s a feeling I remember feeling as a kid when I would FINALLY finish a game for the first time after a long, hard battle! It’s something absolutely amazing. 😊
I remembered the ending, and Arcus laughing like a hoot owl as he gets the He-Man going, but couldnt remember which vid it was. Glad this masterpiece popped up within my recommendations again.
Just coming across these a year later. Zelda was probably one of the top 3 most gratifying games to beat when I was a kid on the NES (Final Fantasy and Super Mario Bros 3 were the other two). Good game. Hope you were able to beat your PB on this afterwards
Awesome Z1 run, that last ganon bump made me nervous, well done Arcus!! cant believe how easy you make the stairwell block clips look, im horrible at them.
after powering up the old nes and attempting this game again... you are a robot champion . I don't know how 30 year ago kid me had the tolerance for this game..
Just found ur channel....so nostalgic! Man thank you very very much for what you are doing! And...you know it’s now so important to comment all what u r doing but when u make these sounds like “bip”, “swash” and so on - so funny and so cool! Really! Keep on going, man! And good luck to u!
When I was a kid in the greatest time to be alive "80's" I played this game all summer long and finally beat the pants off of it. And I tried Friday the 13th, but I preffered covering myself in grape jelly and playing in fire ants mounds. Lol
If you play Breath of the Wild you’ll recognize some things off this map: sea on the south and east, red mountains north, barren area south-west, snow north-west. It’s a remake of sorts.
I feel good about myself beating it in 45 minutes then I see runs like this and wonder how do you guys do it ... Great run and still my favorite runner ....... And clunk
I have this saved in my favorites. The ending is life affirming
Nobody else is gonna comment that SNES drunk watches Arcus’s videos?

29:47
Nothing unusual. Two guys with passion for retro games.
Haha that reaction at the end was priceless, Arcus is a legend.
Classic game, classic run, and classic reaction beginning around 29:40!
I started joining in with the same laugh lol
Yeah he definitely liked that run
Yeah best ever but like you need to eat more don't faint cheese. Or cheese that doesn't make you laugh.
Like that
One of the most adorable arcus reactions I’ve ever seen. Hahaha. Never seen you freak out like that before
That was a good clunk indeed.
and bleeps
The clunking keeps me coming back idk what it is
🤣🤣🤣🤣.....and clunk
He's saying clock
@@djremy3394Well he’s saying it like a cowboy would say it then
This makes me so happy! I love when good runs are pulled together by good people
Your reaction at the end is priceless! I felt like I was on this journey with you. Amazing speedrun, so much concentration, and focus.
When you got a rodeo in an hour but you wanna play some zelda
*NEXT ON ARCUS* : We's gonna teach y'all how to makes some Cowboy Coffee and season up a cast iron skillet ... *YEEEE HAAAAWWW* !!! 😄🤣😄🤣
More like beat Zelda lol
When you have to be at brokeback in an hour but want to destroy Gannon first.
To see how super calm and subdued he is usually, then see the excitement build up toward that ending was amazing to watch.
This is the most excited I’ve ever seen Arcus. So funny.
Amazing run!
This was the first time I realized Mario's warp whistle sound originated with LOZ. Same as the OOT intro. Neat!
Reading your comment is the first time I ever realised it, so thanks bro 👍
Congrats on that sub 30. You deserve it. Just a fantastic streamer and good guy all-around.
Loved the genuine reaction. Subbed for that and the skills and the person arcus is...Fan forever now and I'm now gona get into nes speed running too at 41inspired by this young man
Why not get a woman and/or a life
I’m barely into watching speedrunners but your reaction and gameplay plus these comments are just too wholesome. A lot of people really like your skills and personality. Good for you, man!
I love this guy. Rerun Zelda again.
Getting depressed about the state of our country right now, figured id give this go-to mood booster a shot and man if it doesnt work every time to put you in a better place mentally, idk what does. Love this run. You rock, Arcus.
Same. It's just refreshingly authentic (on top of the chill vibe + skill of course). Like lighting a really good bonfire. Just legit and therapeutic.
Things are getting pretty dang chaotic these days too! Hopefully next 4 years go in a positive direction!
I fell asleep watching this and woke up to absolute jubilation about 10 minutes later. What a joy you are Arcus!
You are just the sweetest soul. Your hyperventilating in joy... love it
He is a wonderful man! My favorite guy on UA-cam makes my childhood memories come back each time so much passion for video games
You know it's gay to call another man a "sweet soul," don't you?
@@inspectorjavert5563 You know you're a sad sack, don't you?
@@inspectorjavert5563 come on man this is the 2000s we are past this.
@@Chino-Kafu the current year is not a good argument
Arcus I love your wholesome reactions. You’re great my man.
That laugh at the end is deserving of a Baby Ruth.
His reaction at the end..the pure joy and jubilation.. it’s a feeling I remember feeling as a kid when I would FINALLY finish a game for the first time after a long, hard battle! It’s something absolutely amazing. 😊
I was today years old when I found out that the flute sound is the same as the one in Mario 3
Man, watching Arcus run games is always so entertaining. He has such a chill vibe.
Bro, these days I saw your channel, now watching the videos. Its a child-flashback like a healing
I remember fondly watching this grind, and then this gem happened. GG Arcus!
I never knew you could play the dungeons "out of order".
Arc, love your channel and your personality. Takes me back in time. Nostalgia
Already one of the moments of the year. Congrats!
Oh wow, I didn’t know that you speedrun :D So cool to see the creator of the method for my favorite puzzle (Sq1) here in the comments, so cool :)
@@bugybunny1 I don't even know what you are talking about, but I like this exchange.
Love it! Best ending to any speedrun ever!!!!
This makes me smile so much every single time.
I remembered the ending, and Arcus laughing like a hoot owl as he gets the He-Man going, but couldnt remember which vid it was. Glad this masterpiece popped up within my recommendations again.
The reaction at the end reminded me of being a kid, and beating an NES game. It really is a great feeling! Now I wanna do some retro gaming
"okay that was some good water" lol and some well deserved hydration, gg
You are so good at these, I’m envious
Just coming across these a year later. Zelda was probably one of the top 3 most gratifying games to beat when I was a kid on the NES (Final Fantasy and Super Mario Bros 3 were the other two). Good game. Hope you were able to beat your PB on this afterwards
I like how depending on Link's tunic, Zelda shares the same colour scheme as him.
I just found this dude last night, he reminds me of a friend I have who lives in Texas and instantly hooked me
Arcus is probably my favorite speedrunner. He runs all of my favorite nes games that i grew up playing
My man you almost had a heart attack in the end!!! great run!!!
That dude was so HAPPY lol
My favorite twitch reaction ever. I still keep coming back to watch this. Thank you for the countless hours of entertainment. HUAHHHHHHH
29:45 - ...annnnnd Arcus breaks character!
you beat the WR by 8.2 seconds that's huge a lot of good competition out there congratulations 🎉
Outstanding!!! I just watched this video while watching you run Zelda II!!! The Double Arcus!!!
But everyone who watches this video also does so while watching him run Zelda
@@metallicoustic6733I meant, he was live streaming Zelda 2 and I was watching this video on YT and his live stream at the same time.
I love seeing you excited.
Awesome Z1 run, that last ganon bump made me nervous, well done Arcus!! cant believe how easy you make the stairwell block clips look, im horrible at them.
Your hat brought me in, and your stache kept me.
"Got the hot dogs!" Love it!
Good holding it together! My anxiety was over the edge and my hands were sweating just watching. Legend!!!
Great Job Arcus!! Even after 30 years Zelda still makes us smile! :-)
after powering up the old nes and attempting this game again... you are a robot champion . I don't know how 30 year ago kid me had the tolerance for this game..
Just found ur channel....so nostalgic! Man thank you very very much for what you are doing! And...you know it’s now so important to comment all what u r doing but when u make these sounds like “bip”, “swash” and so on - so funny and so cool! Really! Keep on going, man! And good luck to u!
Got the sub-30
GG Arcus! It was a fun grind but I'll be glad to see you move on
I remember playing this as a kid and hearing the news about an earthquake in San Francisco. Very clear memory. I was 5 at the time. Now Im old AF.
One of the best games in the world.
This is one of my favourite moments in Speedrunning.
Chocolates, breadstick, red meat and fishbone. :) Thank you for the entertainment on my days off.
I get such good asmr watching this guy! His voice is awesome.
Not when he's clearing his throat every 5 seconds. Gross
Way to go bro. My childhood is being shattered right before my eyes.
One of your best runtimes there!!! CHEERS FROM MEXICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Came back here months later just to watch the end laugh 😂
Most wholesome reaction ever
D For Donuts, The Fence and the “package of hot dogs”, “got the chocolates”, “got the hot sauce” “got the breadstick” PRICELESS!
Holy crap! I thought Arcus was having a heart attack at the end!
Is it strange that when I have insomnia I just load up this video on my phone and the music and your voice just lullaby me to sleep
Awesome love the real excitement in your video at the end.hell u had me smiling
There's a cowboy, then there's a rhinestone cowboy, then there's this dude.
That Patra kill right before Ganon was CLUTCH. By the way, got my first sub-60 minute run this week. Don't know how you guys do it, but well done.
When I was a kid in the greatest time to be alive "80's" I played this game all summer long and finally beat the pants off of it. And I tried Friday the 13th, but I preffered covering myself in grape jelly and playing in fire ants mounds. Lol
My favorite Arcus reaction, ever!
Congrats again, glad I went back to watch it.
-Bedwablackburn
Love the Clonks!! Great game play! And I enjoy how you sing to the tunes of the songs, I can so relate! I am not a speed runner...
does this game have a remake?
I remember playing this with his amazing golden cartridge
If you play Breath of the Wild you’ll recognize some things off this map: sea on the south and east, red mountains north, barren area south-west, snow north-west. It’s a remake of sorts.
I had the gold cartridge too I think
ZELDA: "Peace returns to Hyrule...after less than 30 minutes. I almost missed my favorite TV show. That would have been terrible."
I remember taking like 3 weeks to finish the game and you did it, in like 31 minutes, wow.
White toblerone! HAHAHAHA
The laughs at the end was to classic funny. Congratulations also
3:38 Easter Egg - tiles spell NSU which stands for Norfolk State University.
That's amazing dude! Great job
Fantastic my man. I’m enjoying your videos! Keep it up 👍🏼
man this guy is so chill...............needs some epic 80's montage music..................
LIVE TO WIN...................
Love this dude. Im gonna try to catch one of his streams.
I never expected that kind of reaction lol
I used to clear my throat constantly, it went away when I gave up dairy.
I feel good about myself beating it in 45 minutes then I see runs like this and wonder how do you guys do it ... Great run and still my favorite runner ....... And clunk
RIDICULOUSLY sick! What a beast!
Your celebration was outstanding and entertaining.
I love this guy, he has S T Y L E
This has to be one of the few games that can function with this many glitches. Very good game
That ending made my day. 😊
Damn 1 minute away from the world record on a game I didn't think was possible to beat without the extra items. Blows my mind!
Imagine if it was done WITHOUT glitches 🤷♂️
Lightspeed He-man! Gorgeous run!
Legendary.
you are one cool dude. greetings and best wishes from switzerland.
This needs even faster He-Man. Congratulations!!
Right on man, congrats!
Box of chocolates heart, breadstick whistle...funny.
Shoutout to the person who donated $29.45 at the very end of the video.
Best reaction ever great job Arcus
I like how you call the flute the BREADSTICK lol
Love your videos man, keep up the good work
