This is shaping up to be their longest Zelda let’s play so far. Arin’s ability to forget things he can and should do is astounding.

[@TheSecondBeef]

Oh they definitely dropping this series until the end of the year and finishing it further down the line

[@zetakirby]

the way he forgets he can climb baffles me but it just means we will get close to 400 episodes of this if they keep doing all these side quests

Good, more episodes, be glad

Even though I know it's futile I kind of hope that they remember their jokes about eating secret stones by the time they find out what canonically happens when you do that.

No way.

Crazy right? One of the first things people do in this game is investigate the giant holes all over place. But ADHD Hanson somehow ignores them everytime. It's honestly impressive.

Let's face it.. Arin will only go to the Depths only because of the Fire Temeple

[@sinisterwombat3128]

Or basic gameplay mechanics

[@kaiellis3831]

Arin accidentally throwing his bramble stick and screaming about it and then never throwing anything ever again is the funniest and most infuriating thing ever

[@lizibeff]

the cut to sudden nighttime at 1:08:52 with them still trying to help the korok is golden

[@lizibeff]

and then the cut AGAIN to fucking 9 hours later at 1:09:19 lmaooo 😭

[@shelbyb1550]

My favorite ongoing bit is them calling Tulin 'Tustin' and the WOW sound effect 😂

[@gamerboy7962]

I was dead when they edited that in🤣

[@micahphilson]

And now them editing in "I'm like huge into Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" during silences is beautiful, I hope they keep that one up!

[@a55a551nxki114x]

Wow Dan had alot of energy during this playthrough. The blood curdling scream, the brain being on fire, a third thing.

[@dhdragon555]

I absolutely LOVE the clips where you can hear Ally giggling in the background, it just adds a whole other layer to the comedy for me

[@Randy_Flamethrower]

No one asked

[@dhdragon555]

@@Randy_Flamethrower and I could say the same to you, my dude. Nobody asked me for my opinion but comment sections are exactly for this type of thought. I have no more and no less of a right to say what I said than you do. I felt that my opinion was worth sharing and would also be worthwhile feedback for the channel. Whether you agree with that or not is not up to me but you are ignoring the primary purpose of a comment section in general. Nobody asked for this response and it's certain that nobody asked for yours. However, I would argue that my comment adds a whole lot more to a discussion of this video than yours did. About 50ish people agreed with me and gave me a like. I would say that would mean that I'm not alone in thinking the thought that I deemed worthy of posting under the video. So I hope you realize that while your comment added nothing and overall said nothing, that it in general was wasted effort. Just like this comment that I'm typing out now. You're not going to change and stop trying to spread needless negativity and spark arguments where there shouldn't be. But I'd love it if you did take a step back and reevaluate your priorities in life. Anyways, I hope you have a day, you fuckler.

One thing for sure: There are more Waifus/Husbandos in this game.

[@sawstice1286]

next compilation starting with dan gaslighting arin is gonna be amazing

[@jadesgay444]

i hope he gaslights him enough for every compilation to start with it 😂

[@N1ght_K1tsune]

What do you mean? Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is Arin's favorite thing. What are you trying to say that Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is not his favorite? Of course Arin's favorite is Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

[@gamerboy7962]

"It's E-Y-E, Arin..."

[@thehopelessfanatic8]

[@donkatz9587]

Exactly 5 minutes in, Arin's dumbest death count begins lol

[@madameneko3]

4:55 Ah yes. The moment I started my Death Counter Journey. As of this compilation, Arin has hit 34 deaths in total.

[@QuikVidGuy]

He's doing better than me Admittedly, I wandered into the sand shroud with 5 hearts trying to find 1 more shrine to complete a new blessing

[@likesc00b59]

Dude. Arin throwing his sword at the rope holding the chest and the ball and missing for forever was awful. And hilarious.

[@micahphilson]

It's so funny in the most painful way.

[@Sunshine-san]

"Isn't that crazy?" *"Mmhm."* ". . . Are we having the same conversation again?" _(in the exact same tone)_ *"Mmhm."*

34:29 I love the part where Arin yells " OH NO MY BRAMBLE STICK!!! I THREW MY BRAMBLE STICK!!!" Always cracks me up.🤣🤣🤣

[@kaylanovacek8973]

Dan saying “Aim for the water!” any time Arin falls is my favorite thing in this playthrough so far XD

[@Bloodshotistic]

I LOVE Dan's laugh at 1:02:21 where it sounds like I'm trying to be subtle letting helium out of a balloon but it's not working and I'm doing it in bursts. 😂

[@savzavsav]

incredible description

[@ZoSo42084]

It is so funny to hear Arin gratuitously repeat and even spell out Tulin's name when they meet only for both of them to call him Turin at best from that point on

Spoilers under the cut: I can't believe Danny predicted that the sacred stones are edible.

[@endless_del]

same way california reapers are edible. technically possible, but you'll probably deeply regret it immediately

[@Jagorim_Jarg]

Not actually having played the game at all is allowing me to have only joy upon Arin's futile efforts and mishaps. No anger, just appreciation.

[@ArkadianDream]

I'll never get tired of Arins squeaky little giggle. N E V E R

[@micahphilson]

Wow, having 19 hours cut out of this really puts into perspective how many laughs we've had along the way! Well, Arin's finally figuring out how the game works, hopefully it won't be as painful to watch in the future! (to future me, I'm so sorry. It was painful, wasn't it?)

[@NobleKidd265]

[@milkandhoonie]

nothing will ever beat when they talked about eating the secret stones, especially if you knew about it before watching it's like looking into the camera on the office you're just like... somehow they through the most random shit to the wall and then it's true. like the doki doki literature club playthrough, they clocked monika SO fast it was wild

[@saxmaverick]

I will never understand people complaining about how they play this game. Do you know what channel you're watching?

[@vicentegeonix]

Yeah but you can't deny Arin is playing like shit and Dan never helps. You can't blame people for getting mad. And what do you mean you "will neve understand" its so obvious to understand why people get mad. 😂

[@MJCKCA]

​@@vicentegeonix the thing that is hard to understand is that - it's like complaining that water is wet. - people tend to forget their learning process after hours of playing a game. I vividly remember having some stupid deaths on TotK at the beginning even though I had cleared BotW weeks after it released, or not understanding a lot of things about the game's design until days later

[@vicentegeonix]

​​​​​​​​@@MJCKCA Again is not hard to understand that someone not learning basic mechanics of the game can make people mad, they have over 20 hours in this game and have made no progress! Unless you are as dumb as Arin (a 37 year old man that has been playing video games his whole life!!) It makes no damn sense he is so bad! It just doesn't make sense! Its so impressive how horrible he is! AND HE PLAYS VIDEO GAMES FOR A LIVING!! Its so weird how he never learns from his mistakes!! Its sometimes funny but is mostly annoying 😂, i doubt you are worst, so dont you dare compare yourself to Arin, you know you are not as bad as Arin, so don't make excuses.

[@hannahbrennan2131]

Yeah. If you want to see expert gameplay, GameGrumps isn't the channel for you. We come for the hilarious commentary.

[@QuikVidGuy]

​@@MJCKCAthere were people calling arin an idiot for things he still hadn't encountered for the first time. But because THEY knew, obviously EVERYONE knows

[@antonymilne1346]

I never understood why and how so many people got so annoyed about Arin not knowing knowing how to play games, until he struggled for ages to shoot something that he could've just used a homing arrow for.

[@plantz6147]

May I use this comment to vent out? I didn't play or watch other TOTK, but people really get irritated at Arin who first time play this game, While he's also have to reading, entertain us, understand both game and story while also try to make fun gameplay And also learning of other games control. I can really understand why Arin don't want to read those comments And this is not the first series that these kind of thing happend. My man need some slack. Sorry I just love these Grumps too much.

[@Moon_Child_Mari]

I love them too, but the point of watching them play the game… is to play it.. and that requires making some sort of progress! And the thing is that this is a repeated issue- at times, rather than using a walk-through or pausing the episode to see what to do, Arin struggles through it stubbornly. It quickly becomes less entertaining and more frustrating when he rants about games when he doesn’t bother to understand what’s going on. It’s been years, there’s no good excuses. Quick edit: I and others have also noticed that sometimes this attitude does affect Dan as well- he’s more willing to see the game through and understand the story, and Arin doesn’t always do that, so constantly cracking jokes or whining kind of ruins the experience. Again, I love them! But it sucks

[@QuikVidGuy]

​@@Moon_Child_Marievery alternative that you mentioned are things that get equal amounts of hate

[@Moon_Child_Mari]

@@QuikVidGuy In regards to using walk-throughs, the only time I’ve seen genuine backlash was the time they played Sonic DX and named the creator of the walk-through they were using, who received a lot of harassment thereafter. In that case, I argue that the hate was completely justified, because that was a really stupid move on their part, what with the size of their fan base and all. And with everything else, unfortunately people that want to hate will always find a reason to do so. I was mostly referring to common reasons I and others have become frustrated with Arin’s play-throughs of games.

[@reaver11122]

I agree, Arin's shenanigans endlessly entertain me

[@norom]

They're like 5% done and already have a best of. I hope they don't drop it too soon

[@Alphabrace95]

Part 1 of them completing 1/4 of the main quest and then having a ton of building shenanigans. I knew going into this it’d be rough but man it’s still funny.

[@micahphilson]

Hoo boy. Watching Arin struggle _so much_ with those shrines again is... sure something!

[@shaobues]

0:17 I felt the exact same thing when I first played the game. did anyone else?

[@EhanuRehu]

I severely hope that "WHERE THE HELL IS I- there it is" keeps happening.

[@albertand2484]

I think Arin's attitude regarding this game can be summed out in one thing they said in a more recent episode: Basically, everytime Arin is *told* to do something, he doesn't want to do it, but everytime he discovers something for himself he finds it super cool and interesting. So that's probably why they haven't made much progress lol Seeing Arin consistently screw up and die in the dumbest ways is very funny though 😆

[@pugums3433]

im so glad i watched this compilation instead of there actual episodes, watching arin play this for 80 plus hours would make me lose my mind... an hour of it was almost enough on its own XD

33:37 you can hear in arins voice that he just does not take this fight seriously, expects to press a button and win, because it’s Zelda and it’s easy, and he just gets whapped off the screen. This game isn’t as hard as dark souls but the enemies are fast and they will get ya if you aren’t being careful. They truly are deceptive; everyone has played this game or botw with that “ya, ya, ya” and it just doesn’t work every single time in this game. I love it

[@erburu]

Thank you so much for these videos. I don't really like Zelda that much so I don't want to watch so many hours of this, but this was absolutely hilarious. And I like that you edit it in a way that makes sense and where you can get the jokes even without much context. Thanks again for the work!
