Legend of Zelda NES speedrun in

I have this saved in my favorites. The ending is life affirming

[@donlapham1265]

Nobody else is gonna comment that SNES drunk watches Arcus’s videos?

[@KevTheGalaxybender]

@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 KZbin comments. Surprising but not too surprising

[@kubuspuchatek19833]

Nothing unusual. Two guys with passion for retro games.

[@MultiCynicism]

Haha that reaction at the end was priceless, Arcus is a legend.

[@hshah2757]

Classic game, classic run, and classic reaction beginning around 29:40!

[@k-1llmatic832]

I started joining in with the same laugh lol

[@joshuanoble5895]

Yeah he definitely liked that run

[@kuttkymyst]

Yeah best ever but like you need to eat more don't faint cheese. Or cheese that doesn't make you laugh.

[@kuttkymyst]

Like that

[@Kujakuseki01]

One of the most adorable arcus reactions I’ve ever seen. Hahaha. Never seen you freak out like that before

[@CloutierFam07]

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.

[@keithmurf426]

There is a lot more good than “ bad” in this world. It’s all about perspective mostly.

[@D-Fens_1632]

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.

[@clairecelestin8437]

This makes me so happy! I love when good runs are pulled together by good people

[@UrBloodOnMyFace]

When you got a rodeo in an hour but you wanna play some zelda

[@warpath6666]

*NEXT ON ARCUS* : We's gonna teach y'all how to makes some Cowboy Coffee and season up a cast iron skillet ... *YEEEE HAAAAWWW* !!! 😄🤣😄🤣

[@devinlwoods]

More like beat Zelda lol

[@aaronbourlard5038]

When you have to be at brokeback in an hour but want to destroy Gannon first.

[@DJJustJayOK]

Your reaction at the end is priceless! I felt like I was on this journey with you. Amazing speedrun, so much concentration, and focus.

[@SmoothJK]

To see how super calm and subdued he is usually, then see the excitement build up toward that ending was amazing to watch.

[@spursbucswhitesoxfan]

Congrats on that sub 30. You deserve it. Just a fantastic streamer and good guy all-around.

[@lazycrypt6893]

That was a good clunk indeed.

[@joshuaturner1072]

Amazing run! This was the first time I realized Mario's warp whistle sound originated with LOZ. Same as the OOT intro. Neat!

[@BenTobitt]

Reading your comment is the first time I ever realised it, so thanks bro 👍

[@SpunkyDunk]

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!

[@DarkKnightOmega]

This is the most excited I’ve ever seen Arcus. So funny.

[@TravisJones1979]

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 new to your channel and already addicted. I can't stop saying, annndddddddd clunk.

[@CultureFusionSite]

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.

[@risenfromyoutubesashesagai6302]

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.

[@TheHeartlessAlchemist]

Man, watching Arcus run games is always so entertaining. He has such a chill vibe.

[@josephtillbrook3347]

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

[@alexfamie5255]

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?

[@johnnymanicotti7021]

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.

[@jebsievers]

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.

[@MarMaxGaming]

Things are getting pretty dang chaotic these days too! Hopefully next 4 years go in a positive direction!

[@greeple0]

I fell asleep watching this and woke up to absolute jubilation about 10 minutes later. What a joy you are Arcus!

[@dirtysouth9222]

I've never seen him show even a fraction of this emotion. Its exciting to see.

[@bugpadzero]

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. 😊

[@Marshi32]

Bro, these days I saw your channel, now watching the videos. Its a child-flashback like a healing

[@HoganLegDropSoup]

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

[@DanCloutierSongwriter]

Might be my favorite video on KZbin. Thanks for doing what you do Arcus. You bring joy to so many.

[@DC-lu3ii]

I could never so what this man does. Amazing concentration and memory

[@inthefade]

I'm sure you could!

[@jaygorny]

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

[@interestinginc5248]

I love this guy. Rerun Zelda again.

[@NPC-00361]

Arcus I love your wholesome reactions. You’re great my man.

[@crzyruskie86]

I was today years old when I found out that the flute sound is the same as the one in Mario 3

[@UNIRockLIVE]

Arc, love your channel and your personality. Takes me back in time. Nostalgia

[@UNIRockLIVE]

Love it! Best ending to any speedrun ever!!!!

[@engebretson85]

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

[@EdrickII]

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

[@jebsievers]

The grind and the joy are both so great in this.

[@Yzerman1991]

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.

[@jazzthief81]

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 :)

I like how depending on Link's tunic, Zelda shares the same colour scheme as him.

[@Bobbing4Fries]

I remember fondly watching this grind, and then this gem happened. GG Arcus!

[@saymyname5942]

watching for the first time just recently, your reactions are the best

"okay that was some good water" lol and some well deserved hydration, gg

[@chuckaluck123]

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.

I've seen it a million times and my heart always races and my smile is always uncontrollable

[@BF-bo5ob]

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 😂

[@BF-bo5ob]

Nor was the croissant 🥐

[@SuperKertiz]

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...
