He played... part of it. That's kinda the issue. it never occurs to him if he's not having a good time, it's because he's not playing right. Play it properly and you'll have more fun.
Arin attaching his portable pot to that supposedly important boss item then throwing the combined items off a cliff was even more music to my ears then when Arin attached a watermelon to that victrola.
13:46 THIS RIGHT HERE! this is an absolutely perfect example of Arin's absolutely baffling obsession with combining information the game provides him into complete moon logic. he combines the two different methods of stunning like-likes (feeding them a bomb, OR hitting the stone while it's exposed.) into "I must directly impact the exposed stone with a bomb arrow." there are so many examples of him doing this and it's so funny every time.
I think my most "lie on back staring at the ceiling in disbelief" moment of this playthrough was Arin needing more food to deal with Ganondorf's gloom, but thinking that there was no way to get more while after the point of no return from the boss entrance...Even though he had SO MANY portable pots in his inventory.
This is what I needed. I'm sick in the bed with a horrible flu, which I think has evolved from just the flu, and needed something to make me laugh even if I nearly cough up my lungs with each little giggle. Totally worth it
GameGrumps Lunch Break Chronicles, Day 345: Twenty days left in 2024. Wild. I finally found where they put the Buldak ramen at Walmart, trying the Rosé flavor for the first time. Paired it with an orange Crush. Very nice. 10/10.
I really like people like you, those who log in every upload give out fun information sometimes I come just for those people like in a specific “digimon” comic. Gotta respect the hustle and the perseverance
I feel like Nintendo could use Arin's methods as valuable player data on obscure ways to solve puzzles. Proof that players can and will fuck up your puzzle, no matter what.
There is something poetic about Arin Hansen a noted harsh critic of video game hand holding. Playing a zelda game, where all the hand holding is taken away, and then faceplanting over and over and over and over again, while he tried to figure things out. It's like a kid demanding you don't help him learn to ride his bike, then smashing into 30 cars.
the funniest part to me is how he's emphasized specifically about how Z targeting enemies, while shifting the tone in ways he doesn't like for zelda overall, is a great way of controlling the camera for fights. He then proceeds to basically never, EVER treat any enemy as a legitimate threat or engage them directly and then wonders why he dies a dozen times to one moblin. Especially later in the playthrough when the game expects you to have a generally okay grasp of the combat loop by that point, but since Arin outright refuses to actually fight things directly he has zero ingrained skills, so every fight is an absolute catastrophe even against basic enemies.
What? Zelda games are among the worst offenders about hand holding. He was criticizing Ocarina of Time because of it. That's the whole bit about Sequilitis. And if you've played botw or totk for a single minute, you'd know that's no different. What are you talking about?
@@urquimedes4459 ToTK doesn't have anywhere near the amount of, maybe not handholding, but railroading is probably more apt. One of the examples in the sequilitis Arin brings up is how in the OG zelda you can choose any order to take on a bunch of the dungeons, but OoT is very deliberate in it's order, where as ToTK went back to the more freeform structure.
37:09 This has to be one of my favorite clips from ALL Game Grumps. I will never get tired of it 😂😂😂 The cacophony of the shattering wood accompanied by the rocket flying off and exploding is like a symphony of comedy 😌
Dan’s increasing frustration towards Arin in this play-through made me laugh so hard especially the shrine where Arin ran out of arrows and spent so much time throwing a great sword at a rope to a chest and ball. Brought me so much joy.
12:02 absolutely kills me every time, Dan’s delivery of that line coupled with the genius comedic timing of Arin’s missed shot… I’ll never get tired of rewatching this series 😭
The especially tragic part is Arin didn't realize that if you run out of stamina while gliding, you actually have one more grace pull of the glider, which you can use to save yourself from falling to your death by using it close to the ground. Unfortunately, Arin used his almost immediately, and so he had no choice but to plunge headfirst into the ground.
Nintendo should've paid them to play this, I literally bought the game after watching arin fumble around aimlessly in that one valley for a whole episode. Now this is making me want to play it again
37:10 Will always cheer me up. The build up! Dan hyping him up with compliments. Arin brimming with confidence. Then the loud deafening crash! I burst out with laughther like they do every time!!!
I didn't really watch much of this series as it rolled out and fell off after a certain point It was like my Game Grumps senses told me to just wait for the failure supercut And now I'm here...life is great
As somebody who finally got his hands on Tears of the Kingdom in the last few months and ALSO finally watched a lot of the Game Grumps Tears of the Kingdom LP afterwards...The number of times I instinctively parroted Dan's signature "Arin..." without realizing is staggering.
My lifes falling apart, cant even donate Plasma regularly to make ends meet, but at least ive got something perfect to watch while I eat a microwave burrito
this is definitely up there as one of my favorite mashups.. the fact that arin was so sure he wouldnt die to the spear again then he jumps onto the rock, slows down, and EVERYONE KNOWS what dread is coming next and everyone laughs for a full minute kills me every time lolllllllll also the im dead one gets me chokin every time too. hes in the bird village at the end of that episode and dives off a tiny ledge lmfao
The bramblestick bit has the same quality as the “Oh nooo, my point!!” bit from CollegeHumor and I feel so much better now knowing why that bit sounded SO familiar
I swear some of the best parts of this series was when Arin spent ages building something just for it to either not work or for him to break it/die before getting to use it 😂
Only in game grumps we saw stuff like this. I've never seen enemies be so alive when reacting to Arin. Frox, bosses and constructs know exactly where to hit and when.
I've never seen the Like-likes eat a dropped inactive bomb flower before since I always throw it at them or use arrows. The unique animation of the Like-like inspecting the flower before swallowing it is crazy for a detail most would never see.
The reason i found game grumps in the first place is because i wanted to watch someone play "more like me" instead of really skilled gamers Im satisfied 😂 plus i can watch these 100 times and still laugh
3/4 of the video was blurry because I was in tears from laughing so hard. Damn, Arin trying to get the hanging chest and later the hanging ball had me floored
If this video was 1000 years long, I'd watch and laugh through the entire thing. Or at least until I died! Watching Arin throughout that entire Moblin episode is very humbling, because it's proof he has a talent I could never truly replicate. It's just so funny
6 minutes in. I get why I was worried he might have had head injuries from the boxing. Whew. Gonna do my blood pressure a teeeeensy favor and not finish this video 😅
When watching the playthrough I kept getting frustrated that someone that dies so much wouldn't just go for shrines early to get more hearts instead of brute forcing their way through the game with only 4 hearts. But after seeing his attempts at the shrine in 6:58 it's obvious that that was not even an option xD
There's something very satisfying about them endlessly mocking Tulin, as Tulin puts in a huge amount of work while Arin gets clowned by Bokoblin on the regular.
Can't wait for half the video to be the roomba tank debacle (affectionate)
JUSTLETMEDOTHISONETHING!!
Oh, wait until they actually get the roomba.
Thank you for elaborating that this comment was affectionate because I feel the same way
These guys are such idiots (highly affectionate)
@@A11eged1yMy favorite dummies on the internet.
Of all the people who played TOTK, Arin was one of 'em
He understood the assignment, it's a video game not your job, don't bust an artery 😂
He played... part of it. That's kinda the issue.
it never occurs to him if he's not having a good time, it's because he's not playing right. Play it properly and you'll have more fun.
@@raptros You can always have fun by biting into a chess board but usually playing chess on it is more fun. Same with video games.
@@KairuHakubi Or ... OR ... he's just not having fun because he's not feeling it. Its fine.
It's nice to get a whole compilation of what Dan so artfully described as "a monkey pissing into its own face."
I agree with the comparison, and would only add that the monkey would also be claiming that it totally meant to do it, and that it was refreshing.
Arin "Convoluted vehicle going ten feet and crashing" Hanson FTW lol
One would think they get better, but I’m having doubts.
In his defense, this is the "convoluted [machine] going ten feet and crashing" game 😂
Arin "Completely oblivious to the concepts of gravity and hitting the ground" Hanson
Okay, but have you considered that it takes two to make this thing go--
Arin attaching his portable pot to that supposedly important boss item then throwing the combined items off a cliff was even more music to my ears then when Arin attached a watermelon to that victrola.
17:40 Arins “OOOOOOPS” replays in my brain over and over again
This and the wails of despair at 16:38 when he threw his bramble stick 😂🤣😭😭
13:46 THIS RIGHT HERE!
this is an absolutely perfect example of Arin's absolutely baffling obsession with combining information the game provides him into complete moon logic. he combines the two different methods of stunning like-likes (feeding them a bomb, OR hitting the stone while it's exposed.) into "I must directly impact the exposed stone with a bomb arrow." there are so many examples of him doing this and it's so funny every time.
It’s amazing how far into the game Arin gets without getting better at the game. That’s the real skill here. 50:44
36:09 Tulin going absolutely ham on a construct and Arin dieing while in stunned disbelief is a top 10 moment for me. XD
I think my most "lie on back staring at the ceiling in disbelief" moment of this playthrough was Arin needing more food to deal with Ganondorf's gloom, but thinking that there was no way to get more while after the point of no return from the boss entrance...Even though he had SO MANY portable pots in his inventory.
OH NO MY BRAMBLE STICK is a hall of fame Game Grumps moment
This is what I needed. I'm sick in the bed with a horrible flu, which I think has evolved from just the flu, and needed something to make me laugh even if I nearly cough up my lungs with each little giggle. Totally worth it
Dude same!!
oh nooo hope you feel better soon!!
I am also watching the sick in bed with the flu, solidarity!
No fucking shit dude, I'm also sick with cold atm😭. Your flu sounds like it suck tho. I hope you feel better
Sick here too.
Hope you all feel better soon!

Wild Lucas lunch update found. Respect the hustle
Do you work everyday?! They're overworking you.
@southparkfirefly I think they're just logging what they're eating while watching not necessarily specifically during a lunch break
Somewhere down on the surface, a perfectly good bramble stick clatters to the ground, surprising anyone within earshot
Random passersby: “Hey what’s that stick falli-“ *stabbed in the head with the bramble stick
I like the idea that there's a very distant sounding scream of ᵐʸ ᵇʳᵃᵐᵇˡᵉ ˢᵗⁱᶜᵏ﹗﹗﹗

Calm down, it's a sandbox game where half the fun is blowing yourself up and fucking around with physics.
I think the real take away is that while he has moments of pure frustration he is still having fun.
37:09 This has to be one of my favorite clips from ALL Game Grumps. I will never get tired of it 😂😂😂
The cacophony of the shattering wood accompanied by the rocket flying off and exploding is like a symphony of comedy 😌
It's ABSOLUTELY one of the greatest moments of misdirection. Right up there with "Oookay, Bad example!"
I'd forgotten all about this and had to hold in my laughter at 4AM
Dan’s increasing frustration towards Arin in this play-through made me laugh so hard especially the shrine where Arin ran out of arrows and spent so much time throwing a great sword at a rope to a chest and ball. Brought me so much joy.
That whole Moblin sequence from 21:05-24:45 murdered my insides when I first watched it.
6:30 schroedingers pause screen
Every time he says "it's going to be ok" the universe bends backwards to end link on the spot 💀
See your "It's going to be OK"; raise you "Check this shit out".
- it takes two to make this thing gO-WAIT
- *no my bramble stick*
He’s like an engineer from a fundamentally different and incompatible world
12:02 absolutely kills me every time, Dan’s delivery of that line coupled with the genius comedic timing of Arin’s missed shot… I’ll never get tired of rewatching this series 😭
"GOOD!"
I really hope the bramble stick moment is in this.
Update: It is, in fact, there at 16:36.
The fact that it's immediately preceded by "Check this shit out" is so perfect.
the fact that i immediately heard Arin’s voice in my head when i read this 😭
“I’M A STUPID BOY”
Its peak cinema
I just think back to Twilight Princess trying to lock on to the damn bird...
"This is not my finest moment"
Hahahaha it replays in my mind so clearly. Oh so many not so finest moments years later and we're so here for it!
The rocket Looney-Tunesing out of frame at 37:30 kills me
"I ran out of glider!"
"did you think there was water?"
"nO i rAN oUt OF gLIDeR!!!
The especially tragic part is Arin didn't realize that if you run out of stamina while gliding, you actually have one more grace pull of the glider, which you can use to save yourself from falling to your death by using it close to the ground. Unfortunately, Arin used his almost immediately, and so he had no choice but to plunge headfirst into the ground.
The combo of Arin's shameful gameplay and Dan's super commentary is peak grumps
0:12 I'm really glad they started with that moment. Really set the tone for the whole playthrough, really.
This feels like those mobile game ads where they play the game terribly to make you want to play it better
That's literally what happened for me, it looked fun and I knew it couldn't be as hard as arin was making it on himself lmao
"Arin...you brilliant bastard!!" ... DESTROYS CONTRAPTION hahahaha 37:08
"No, it's okay!" *immediately dies*
Nintendo should've paid them to play this, I literally bought the game after watching arin fumble around aimlessly in that one valley for a whole episode. Now this is making me want to play it again
16:40 I am pleased as punch that this part made it in
OH NO MY BRAMBLE STICK
This series was like 90% just Arin doing this
37:10 Will always cheer me up. The build up! Dan hyping him up with compliments. Arin brimming with confidence.
Then the loud deafening crash! I burst out with laughther like they do every time!!!
No one ever said Arin was good at videogames.... But that's not what we're here for, anyway.
I love that two out of three tooltips are about upgrading your goddamn armor

I didn't really watch much of this series as it rolled out and fell off after a certain point
It was like my Game Grumps senses told me to just wait for the failure supercut
And now I'm here...life is great
MY BRAMBLE STICK!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
He took all that time to build that mallet with the rocket attached and then disintegrated it in one shot! I almost peed myself in laughter
The roomba tanks with the banana head moblin...literally could not have ended in a more perfect way xD
Danny and Arin as Koroks is and always will be the best thing ever
I started playing TotK myself a couple weeks ago and this makes me feel better about all the stupid ways I've died in my journey.
I took captures of all the stupid ways I died until my SD card was full and I still can’t top Arin’s deaths.
The violent deaths, followed by Dan's disapproval/disbelief/giggling while the game over music plays. Will always be hilarious.
This whole playthrough is golden, Arin’s diving bird car kills me just thinking about it
31:51 the 100% rage from Arin puts tears in my eyes every time!
As somebody who finally got his hands on Tears of the Kingdom in the last few months and ALSO finally watched a lot of the Game Grumps Tears of the Kingdom LP afterwards...The number of times I instinctively parroted Dan's signature "Arin..." without realizing is staggering.
Begging y'all to play Echoes of Wisdom so we can get another one of these for that game...
I think TOTK is one of my favorite grumps playthroughs purely because of how much Arin laughs even though he’s getting his shit rocked.
This was my favorite Grumps series from my favorite game of all time. These boys make me so frickin' happy.
Slappy Scrumdas everyone!
sometimes i wonder if some of these deaths were original experiences that only arin could experience
I'm so glad TOTK gave us Arin building monstrous but useless contraptions
My lifes falling apart, cant even donate Plasma regularly to make ends meet, but at least ive got something perfect to watch while I eat a microwave burrito
Oof. Relatable. This time last year I was trying to donate plasma twice a week. I hope things improve for you friend ❤
keep going, sending love
this is definitely up there as one of my favorite mashups.. the fact that arin was so sure he wouldnt die to the spear again then he jumps onto the rock, slows down, and EVERYONE KNOWS what dread is coming next and everyone laughs for a full minute kills me every time lolllllllll
also the im dead one gets me chokin every time too. hes in the bird village at the end of that episode and dives off a tiny ledge lmfao
The begining reaply sets the vibe of the whole video. This compilation, while stilo be early in the video has made my day
The title of this video and the fact that the length is less than the entire TOTK playlist implies that some of Arin’s gameplay was not shameful.
0:14 Someone get a death counter.
1 death… im not counting the rest!!!
@@JohnMBlue1992 2 deaths. 0:44 Passing the baton!
6:30 death #3. Passing it to the next one

_{Proceeds to show a compilation of the entirety of their playthrough}_
The bramblestick bit has the same quality as the “Oh nooo, my point!!” bit from CollegeHumor and I feel so much better now knowing why that bit sounded SO familiar
my favorite part (you might need to turn your speakers up a little cos its a little quite but it is gold trust me) is @47:09
It really felt like Arin was drunk and being stubborn during the beginning and I loved every second of it😂😂
The Arin method:
- Build something
- Brag about it
- Destroy said thing or get mortally injured
These totk compilations are reminding me have fun this series was
Shameful gameplay = almost an hour of The Lovelies screaming THE SAIL CLOTH!!!
"Throw it! Now! GOOD!" Takes me out every time
10:54 All I can think of is that couch bit from the Star Wars Family Guy episode
Only an hour? Ain't no way that's it
Its like, most of the episodes
Eagerly awaiting the "Arin figures stuff out hours after everyone else has" compilation
"Link is our last line of defence..."
I swear some of the best parts of this series was when Arin spent ages building something just for it to either not work or for him to break it/die before getting to use it 😂
Only in game grumps we saw stuff like this. I've never seen enemies be so alive when reacting to Arin. Frox, bosses and constructs know exactly where to hit and when.
"Our last line of defence will be Link" - The Movie
Disappointed the "It takes two to make this thing go..." moment from episode 43 isn't in this. It was even preceded by a "Check this shit."
I've never seen the Like-likes eat a dropped inactive bomb flower before since I always throw it at them or use arrows. The unique animation of the Like-like inspecting the flower before swallowing it is crazy for a detail most would never see.
Love that the first 6 mins is the starting area
Not even through the whole video yet but the whole ran out of arrows part makes me wanna watch the whole series
23:58 - I maintain that this is one of the greatest deaths in Grumps history.
I wanna animate these deaths so bad! Unfortunately I'm not an animator lmao
57 minutes of why my feeling towards this playthrough are *complicated*
Please God tell me the bit where Arin dropped bombs and then threw things at them to make them explode, is in this video
So many hilarious moments from this play-through. One of my favorites was episode 46 when he was trying to construct a plane on a hill.
The Game Grumps should play Star Fox Adventures & Star Fox Assault for the Nintendo GameCube.
Starfox Adventures would be hype to see!
TotK is the gift that keeps on giving :D
Might as well upload the whole playthrough
To be fair this must be part 1 of a 100 part series
"OH NO, MY BRAMBLE STICK!!"
Such a perfect way to celebrate the end of finals.
The reason i found game grumps in the first place is because i wanted to watch someone play "more like me" instead of really skilled gamers
Im satisfied 😂 plus i can watch these 100 times and still laugh
Gosh, I almost forgot how much I loved this playthrough. I wish I could experience it again for the first time.
Colgera theme is the best, especially when it's interrupted by dying to dumb shit.
These moment had me crying with laughter. Thank you so much for being the grumps.
3/4 of the video was blurry because I was in tears from laughing so hard. Damn, Arin trying to get the hanging chest and later the hanging ball had me floored
ARIN HOW HAVE YOU BUILT COMPANIES?! BRO!! 😂
I love that there was enough footage to make this compilation nearly an hour long
If this video was 1000 years long, I'd watch and laugh through the entire thing. Or at least until I died!
Watching Arin throughout that entire Moblin episode is very humbling, because it's proof he has a talent I could never truly replicate. It's just so funny
6 minutes in. I get why I was worried he might have had head injuries from the boxing. Whew. Gonna do my blood pressure a teeeeensy favor and not finish this video 😅
