@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
When the world's going to hell and you can't take anymore news or people and social media and need to clear your head, nothing beats a classic Arcus run.
It's been a mighty hard couple of years but when ever I felt really down I come back to this video to watch Arcus' reaction. It always makes me smile and feel like there is good in the world. Thanks for doing what you do.
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 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.
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
It's crazy watching someone murder these games this fast. Zelda took me months back in the eighties. Zelda 2 in just over an hour is nuts too man. You got skills. Respect
That was a real response. I know what it feels like to not know and things come together, but to witness that real response was wholesome and it moved me.
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. 😊
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.
Watching Arvuds play through anything is the most relaxing thing of all time. I don't even like watching streamers typically, but this is just so awesome
I'll say nothing of your run except that it was really nice but when your laughter of joy kicked in at the end...... that was good. That was really good.
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
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!
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.
He only got the required items. Toblerone, hot dogs, breadstick, hot sauce, red meat. The banana from Level 1, the spatula from Level 6, the hotter hot sauce from Level 7, and the cookbook from Level 8 were not necessary 😂
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..
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
That end reaction totally isn’t like Arcus. He typically goes through the game in a totally relaxed manner as if he’s played it a million times, but it was great to see the celebration. Good game.
I have this saved in my favorites. The ending is life affirming
Nobody else is gonna comment that SNES drunk watches Arcus’s videos?
@@donlapham1265 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
When the world's going to hell and you can't take anymore news or people and social media and need to clear your head, nothing beats a classic Arcus run.
One of the most adorable arcus reactions I’ve ever seen. Hahaha. Never seen you freak out like that before
It's been a mighty hard couple of years but when ever I felt really down I come back to this video to watch Arcus' reaction. It always makes me smile and feel like there is good in the world. Thanks for doing what you do.
There is a lot more good than “ bad” in this world. It’s all about perspective mostly.
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.
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
Congrats on that sub 30. You deserve it. Just a fantastic streamer and good guy all-around.
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.
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 👍
I've never seen him show even a fraction of this emotion. Its exciting to see.
I've watched several of these now and the reaction at the end was a thing of beauty. You can tell this meant a lot to him.
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 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.
I'm new to your channel and already addicted. I can't stop saying, annndddddddd clunk.
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
@@smarkslowplay3512Is it inconceivable that you can have a hobby while having a healthy life at the same time?
@@mengo329 amount of time for this shit is insane. Probably some kind of disorder
It's crazy watching someone murder these games this fast. Zelda took me months back in the eighties. Zelda 2 in just over an hour is nuts too man. You got skills. Respect
Do you think when we played it we exposed glitches? Just wondering how genuine a speed run would truly be without the use of a glitch?
I was today years old when I found out that the flute sound is the same as the one in Mario 3
That was a real response. I know what it feels like to not know and things come together, but to witness that real response was wholesome and it moved me.
Man, watching Arcus run games is always so entertaining. He has such a chill vibe.
I fell asleep watching this and woke up to absolute jubilation about 10 minutes later. What a joy you are 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 could never so what this man does. Amazing concentration and memory
I'm sure you could!
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 love this guy. Rerun Zelda again.
Watching Arvuds play through anything is the most relaxing thing of all time. I don't even like watching streamers typically, but this is just so awesome
Bro, these days I saw your channel, now watching the videos. Its a child-flashback like a healing
That laugh at the end is deserving of a Baby Ruth.
Might be my favorite video on UA-cam. Thanks for doing what you do Arcus. You bring joy to so many.
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
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
Arc, love your channel and your personality. Takes me back in time. Nostalgia
"okay that was some good water" lol and some well deserved hydration, gg
Arcus I love your wholesome reactions. You’re great my man.
29:45 - ...annnnnd Arcus breaks character!
I like how depending on Link's tunic, Zelda shares the same colour scheme as him.
My favorite part: "That Ganon fight sucked!" -Arcus You rarely hear the man being so brutal and upfront honest. lol
The grind and the joy are both so great in this.
His mustache is said to be a gift given to him by chuck norris
"got toblerone" im toast
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.
I'll say nothing of your run except that it was really nice but when your laughter of joy kicked in at the end...... that was good. That was really good.
This was absolutely wonderful, absolutely incredible, and absolutely unforgettable! Way to go Arcus!!!!!
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
Got Toblerone! That was pretty funny, I never thought that back in the day, but it does look like one.
Love it! Best ending to any speedrun ever!!!!
This has easily been the most fun to watch of yours so far.
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.
My man you almost had a heart attack in the end!!! great run!!!
The reaction at the end was 😊😊😊😊
My youth in 30 minutes. Love this guy. He’s authenticz
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!
I remember fondly watching this grind, and then this gem happened. GG Arcus!
Arcus is probably my favorite speedrunner. He runs all of my favorite nes games that i grew up playing
Got the sub-30
GG Arcus! It was a fun grind but I'll be glad to see you move on
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.
My favorite twitch reaction ever. I still keep coming back to watch this. Thank you for the countless hours of entertainment. HUAHHHHHHH
I ve seen a couple of your videos but this one made me subscribe jajaja. Thanks for playing the games of my chilhood. Hello from Chile :D
I've seen it a million times and my heart always races and my smile is always uncontrollable
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! :-)
Awww Arcus. Love the giggle. Proud of you! -Sio
watching for the first time just recently, your reactions are the best
That reaction at the end earned my subscription
Chocolates, breadstick, red meat and fishbone. :) Thank you for the entertainment on my days off.
He only got the required items. Toblerone, hot dogs, breadstick, hot sauce, red meat. The banana from Level 1, the spatula from Level 6, the hotter hot sauce from Level 7, and the cookbook from Level 8 were not necessary 😂
Nor was the croissant 🥐
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
You are so good at these, I’m envious
This makes me smile so much every single time.
"Got the hot dogs!" Love it!
I just found this dude last night, he reminds me of a friend I have who lives in Texas and instantly hooked me
That dude was so HAPPY lol
I never knew you could play the dungeons "out of order".
Way to go bro. My childhood is being shattered right before my eyes.
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...
Congrats again, glad I went back to watch it.
-Bedwablackburn
Best end reaction ever!
Awesome love the real excitement in your video at the end.hell u had me smiling
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..
you beat the WR by 8.2 seconds that's huge a lot of good competition out there congratulations 🎉
Love your Channel, these are the games I grew up with. Some I never finished. Seeibg speedruns like this is just simply crazy 😀
I get such good asmr watching this guy! His voice is awesome.
Not when he's clearing his throat every 5 seconds. Gross
How much enjoyable this game is still today. A lovely masterpiece
Big props, congrats Arcus!!
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 🤷♂️
@@alexfamie5255Then watch a glitchless run. There's a whole separate category for those so watch those instead
I remember taking like 3 weeks to finish the game and you did it, in like 31 minutes, wow.
Your hat brought me in, and your stache kept me.
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
This is one of my favourite moments in Speedrunning.
Hey, thanks for doing all this. I keep your runs playing on my phone while at work for background noise.
ZELDA: "Peace returns to Hyrule...after less than 30 minutes. I almost missed my favorite TV show. That would have been terrible."
Fantastic my man. I’m enjoying your videos! Keep it up 👍🏼
That end reaction totally isn’t like Arcus. He typically goes through the game in a totally relaxed manner as if he’s played it a million times, but it was great to see the celebration. Good game.
Came back here months later just to watch the end laugh 😂
Now I want to play Zelda!!!!! The music of the land and the underground is what gets me
D For Donuts, The Fence and the “package of hot dogs”, “got the chocolates”, “got the hot sauce” “got the breadstick” PRICELESS!
I've never seen a man so happy in my life😭
