I agree Zelda two is an odd nes title. Watching him grind this shows how well Zelda 2 held up over the years compared to Zelda one I loved it growing up I'm 40 I got it when it was brand new. However everybody said and I do agree back then that one was better than two. For some reason I'm enjoying these speed runs more than lackattack24 destroying Zelda one... am I odd?
@Joshua Sharrock I agree! I'm 43 and when Zelda 2 came out I didn't have the skills to beat it and I couldn't stand the game lol. Now I love playing and watching Arcus play it because im nowhere near his level.
@Yeah Right we know that now but back then they dropped the ball. This game literally had nothing that the first game was. Today's standards this was a wonderful game but this is not a Zelda game No bombs, bow, boomerang, the candle was nothing the same... no swords I don't count the leveling system no armors I don't count the leveling system... No silver arrows no Gannon.. The heart containers WEREN'T heart containers they were blocks. And by the way you started off the game right next to Zelda. I love the aesthetics of this game today but this game was trash back then
@Yeah Right majora's mask still had every item that I just listed earlier you must not be getting the point that I made. This game didn't have items... None. Majora's mask may not be one of my favorite cause I didn't like the N64 but that was a very lore created game from Zelda. The characters established in the game even the bad guys... Other than this guy wearing green and having a sword there is nothing in common with this and any other Zelda. EVEN THE CDI games have items and storylines that were to Zelda. I'm sorry but you provided me with no evidence that this is a Zelda game other than you like it
@@joshuasharrock466You probably are, but in a good way :) The backlash from the side view scrolling style back in the day was real. We’re close in age btw. I think that time has been kind to Zelda 2 and just took some years for its own design and gameplay to be fully appreciated.
You inspired me to give this game a go recently and I learned something very important about the Great Palace. If you attempt to leave bc you forgot to pick up the Thunder magic, the barrier outside comes up again, essentially trapping you in the palace, unless you get a game over. Oh the old days of game design lol
Sub78, there it is, what a christmas gift. Yet another one of these runs, love em! Merry christmas, I hope you're having a wonderful time! Much love from germany.
GG! Conglaturations!🤘 Also. I've played this game since it was new. I recorded the music from the TV onto a tape in a boom box. I've covered the Palace Theme. Because of you, it's now the Moo Song to me. A good moo. A strong moo.😆
Arcus on these runs you’re doing back to back like this it would be cool if you noted your specific area of improvement each run in the upload comments. Did you develop a new strat, took a different route, simply didn’t fall in a pit, etc. Nice work!
Having watched the last few PBs I think a lot of it is cleaning up minor things like not getting hit by enemies, killing them faster, or not getting encounters, not dying, getting easy encounters stuff like that
around nine minutes in he pointed out that he saved time by not getting a life refill at the end of the first palace, because he hadn't taken damage. he does point stuff out like this during the run.
1:16:34 Now, the magic: we won't be able to have Shield against, um, Dark Link, but that might be okay. *Squeesh!* I think we'll try it. I'm feelin' spicy.
hahahah 1:07:55 your tutorial was hilarious. "You want to jump... like this. And then cast fairy. which saves no time at all. Not even a single frame. The only reason i do it is cause im a super serious speedrunner."
Is there a strategic reason to skip over the skeletons the first two times in palace 1? Seems the enemy count for P bag would be the same regardless of when killed.
last night i just searched this up to watch someone play one of my favorite games, i was doing really bad and was just spiraling in sad, bad thoughts. but i dunno something about his repetitive little wickity wehs and his goofy jingles just brightened my mood so much :)
You really can't beat Western Washington. I moved here while in the Army over 20 years ago, and there's no way I'm leaving. On a clear day, you can see Rainier from our window. Such a beautiful place. We live in Tacoma, currently. Let us know, and we'll take you out for a bite. Do you like sushi?
Although this was posted months ago, I’m obsessed with watching this Zelda 2 run. I hope Arcus decides to make another run to break his PB and ultimately go for the WR.
All the Arcus jingles:
1:40 We got the box of chocolates
5:30 We lit the hot sauce on fire
8:17 We won the trophy, first place
12:05 Mm, mm, mm, mm -- Life spell
19:15 No 'red perrier' jingle :(
20:18 Good clunk, that's a good clunk
20:52 Got the cheese curds
21:35 Got the power
22:37 We got the box of chocolates
26:52 We got the glove to punch blocks
34:09 Hotdog flotation device
38:25 Got the fire
39:40 We found young Dave in the cave
40:03 Found a small doll of myself
46:02 That was a good moo, a strong moo -- We brought the cows home (thx Ultra Marcus)
46:23 Cowboy boots, two for one sale
55:13 We got the plunger, let's roll
1:01:55 That's gold, Jerry. That's gold
1:06:18 We got the cross to see eyes
1:10:20 Got the thunder
1:17:45 It's Link's corner cheese
46:02 We brought the Cows Home (my favourite)
THANK YOU!
You saint!
@@TESVSkyrimMods Does that narrow your search
@@TESVSkyrimMods Non dick-suck mode bores me. And I'm sick of being bored.
Gonna be sad to see this grind come to an end. The last month has been awesome watching these amazing runs!

Watching you play is always a pleasure. Cheers.

"The man spoke of you as a god. And you did not disappoint."
Feels like it was yesterday I was watching a PB and again today?!?!? Good shit arcus
I blinked and my man got a new PB.
I love new peanut butter. 😊
* inserts goofy meme *
Prolly the kind with the jelly for that belly already mixed in lickety split ya herd
The Bob Ross of gaming, happy the algorithm put your channel in my feed.
No lie. I've thought the exact thing about him being like Bob Ross.
the fact you got this without the eco key in palace 5 is insane! keep it up arcus
Super cool to see it get under 18 finally
The old Zelda 2 run was my favorite so this whole month has been fun, but hot damn that was a nailbiter to finish it off! Excellent work as always.
Look forward to these everyday now.
That was a good moo, a STRONG moo, we brought the cows home.
Unreal athlete
Sub78, there it is, what a christmas gift. Yet another one of these runs, love em! Merry christmas, I hope you're having a wonderful time! Much love from germany.
It keeps getting better. Nice klonk!
AND CLUNK!
When he attained the Cowboy Hat of Speed Running his powers grew to hitherto unforeseen heights. The legend grows!
Arcus getting PBs like nothing. Sum of best is inching closer to WR. Killing it.
Loving this grind!
What an epic tense ending I’m so glad I was there for it!
I watch these to fall asleep its not gonna work if he keeps making it shorter
I really enjoyed that lengthy conversation we had at 10:53. I learned a lot.
Great run again! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in advance :)
Skeletons be like,"You get back here and fight me like a man, you young whipper snapper! How dare you just jump over my head!!"
Love this man. Keep it up
EPIC last battle, Arcus!
The "xChristine memorial bridge" cracks me up every time. 😆
Came for the mash mash mash, stayed for the clonks! GG
GG! Conglaturations!🤘
Also. I've played this game since it was new. I recorded the music from the TV onto a tape in a boom box. I've covered the Palace Theme. Because of you, it's now the Moo Song to me. A good moo. A strong moo.😆
Moments like 11:18 is why I love watching Arcus play literally anything.
Congrats Arcus!
I don't know why but these videos you make are super relaxing
Arcus on these runs you’re doing back to back like this it would be cool if you noted your specific area of improvement each run in the upload comments. Did you develop a new strat, took a different route, simply didn’t fall in a pit, etc. Nice work!

Plus, you can compare to the previous PB video in the corner.
I still get chills at the music this game was the hardest ive ever played.
Happy Christmas cowboy speedrunner!
I must say that i am glad i stumbled upon this, 1 dungeon in and its like watching Bob Ross. And ill end my recen Zelda binge with this game.
Are you going for the WR?!? I love you Arcus!!! Merry Christmas my dude!
I'm a huge fan of your gaming style buddy
Wow, what a finish!!!
"We got the plunger, let's roll." - Arcus
1:16:34 Now, the magic: we won't be able to have Shield against, um, Dark Link, but that might be okay. *Squeesh!* I think we'll try it. I'm feelin' spicy.
God I love the music in this gamr
27:10 things i dont like on my pizza mushrooms and olives Great speedrun you keep getting better and better! I live in wa too in sumner.
that was awesome!
I strive to be as cool under pressure as Arcus is when he's sticking the landings of classic games in record times.
I strive to have his mustache
Arcus is 42nd in the world for this category :o Great work!
Jeez, my man here just kicking out new PBs like they are on sale. It's so impressive.
I'm supposed to be asleep!
sometimes you get the run, thanks partner, and sometimes the run gets you
hahahah 1:07:55 your tutorial was hilarious. "You want to jump... like this. And then cast fairy. which saves no time at all. Not even a single frame. The only reason i do it is cause im a super serious speedrunner."
Your times are dropping fast on this one Arcus!
My man rocked the cowsbah on that one.
I'm dangling my two bits all over my monitor.
I think the next PB will come very soon. Nice run 👍
The third level was always the hardest for me.
What would you say are your biggest oppurtunities for time saves in this game at this point?
Que crack el tío... Saludos.
WR is 1:13:46
Is there a strategic reason to skip over the skeletons the first two times in palace 1? Seems the enemy count for P bag would be the same regardless of when killed.
Bring Home the Cows!😃😃
we lit the hot sauce on fire... lol to funny 5:30
Congrats again.
last night i just searched this up to watch someone play one of my favorite games, i was doing really bad and was just spiraling in sad, bad thoughts. but i dunno something about his repetitive little wickity wehs and his goofy jingles just brightened my mood so much :)
how did you get the reflect spell without the magic containers?
116:47
Holy smokes that was close.
Man that ending!!!
Let's goooo!!!
Whats the reason for stabbing 4 times during some of the battle scenes?
You brought alll the fucking cows home !! Let's go
You are kicking some butt on this. Like 4 seconds off world record now
46:24 Pure gold.
Crazy
Just curious what you are implying when you use the word "just" as you encounter enemies.
sub 1:18! congrats arcus!
Why don't you use ghost Town glitch?
Can you manipulate the RNG in this game (like you can in Zelda 1) to get things like P bags easier?
it doesn't matter in this game, you get levels mostly by palace clears or rare enemies
Your getting so close...ggs
You really can't beat Western Washington. I moved here while in the Army over 20 years ago, and there's no way I'm leaving. On a clear day, you can see Rainier from our window. Such a beautiful place. We live in Tacoma, currently. Let us know, and we'll take you out for a bite. Do you like sushi?
I'm new here. Vital info, what's a qwonk..clonk?? 😂
What?! When did this happen?
That was a good Bagu 😊😎cool
I always wondered how I could become a super serous speed runner, and now I know.
Hotdog flotation device. Nice.
Whoa, you got sub 78 on the final day?? Congrats!
GG 😻
Merry Hablalablah to everyone!
Although this was posted months ago, I’m obsessed with watching this Zelda 2 run. I hope Arcus decides to make another run to break his PB and ultimately go for the WR.
you never know when an average run turns out gold
That was a good McDonald’s fairy.
you can do this!
Keep it up you might break the 1 hour mark!!!
Willing to bet your moustache itself can get a sub 80 run too
Where is today's video? Or is it really jus 30 days of Zelda 2?
arcusHUA
Soon christmas, time for a new PB?
1:16:47 best Arcus reaction ever. That was a good 😂
1:08:13 a super serious speedrunner. Hahaha.
Mash mash mash...
Keep them coming. You can easily shave another minute with some luck.
Whats going on over here?
It’s good.
