  Danny: Yeah, remember that time I gave you that letter?
  Arin: I have been shot out of a barrel.
  Danny: And also, the letter. That I gave you. Do you remember that?
  Arin: Do you remember when I ran in circles around your place, even though I was told what to do.
  Danny: And don't even get me started on that letter.
  Arin: I have done so many things!
  Danny: Practically everything that you can do for a person, involving that exact letter, that one time.
  Arin: And honestly, how could you forget about the letter.

  • During the same episode, Arin points out the boss is called Godan. Danny replies, "Oh! That's cool, because, my favourite thing to do is slap the shit out of people with my giant hands!"

• When Aryll is rescued, "But, big brother! What about my dance recital?!"
  • "I'm so sad...wait, I'M HAPPY!!"
• Danny's dwindling patience with the King of Red Lions.
  [while trying to get into the Forsaken Fortress under cannon fire] Jesus, King of Boats, do something!... Like, every time you're just talking to him and there's nothing at stake, he's like "I'm the King of the Red Lions!" But when you, like, need his help, he's like "What do you want from me?

• The Grumps remember the model from the JJ Icefish video.
• Arin failing to beat a Mini-Boss - expected. Arin failing after mishandling his fairy- still expected.
  • Even funnier because they weren't mishandling a fairy. What they had in the bottle was actually the Forest Firefly, which is only used to upgrade the Pictobox. Unfortunately, Arin wasted it by dying after releasing the firefly and then saving his progress instead of a soft reset, evicting it from his bottle for the rest of the playthrough.
• "Next time on Game Grumps, we're gonna have outselves a ho-down!"
• Arin and Danny notice that the trees Makar plants have smiley faces and begin joking about them.

    WHOA! Did you eat the woman that used to be here?
• Part 66 has two in a row:
  • After meeting a large pig, they doubt the game will let Buttlet lift them. A few seconds later, the pig farmer asks him to do just that. So...
  IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT? IS THIS IT?
  • On the subject of Link lifting heavy objects, Arin and Danny have fun with the Stone Head.
  Mmm. Nice land we got here.
• This conversation when Danny mentions a fairy heals Buttlet's grandma:
  Danny: Oh, I think you just- you just need to give her a fairy.
  Arin: Why w- why would I waste a fairy on my grandma?
  Danny: Goddamn dude!
  Arin: -I'm trying to save the world!
  Danny: Well, it says that she'll give you soup!
  (They both laugh)
  Arin: OH SHIT!
  Danny: So there's that.
  Arin: I GOTTA GET SOME FUCKIN' FAIRIES, DUDE!
• "Yeah, I'm about to go fight the Lord of all evil, I'm totally safe."
• Immediately after Arin picks up right where he left off at the start of the game and starts making dead Grandma jokes...again. And they're just as horribly hilarious as before.
• Arin setting his sights on the giant Rupee wallet, only to give up instantly once he realizes he has no clue to get past a broken bridge.

  Grandma!Arin: It's made with your grandpa!
  Dan: Aughh!
• Arin bungling the Earth Temple revisited challenge by bumping into walls when he has a petrified Dark Chu Chu weighting down a switch to keep a section of stairs lowered. He takes too long because of his mistakes and gets right on the stairs as the Chu Chu unfreezes and moves off the switch.
  (stars begin closing up and Link crashes backwards into the rising walls)
  Both Grumps: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
  (Link miraculously gets raised up on the platform by the fringe of the last stair)
  Both Grumps: YEAAAAAAAHHH!!!
• Arin gives material for a remix.
  • Brick Joke: Em-One and oddboy18, both YouTube artists that Arin name-checked, delivered a remix!

• Danny tells Barry he loves him.
• Danny notices an entrance resembles Goofy.
• The Grumps discover the selfie function of the Pictobox.
  Arin: [playing with Buttlet's facial expressions] Wel-come back! To Game Grumps—NNNGGGGHH!
  • Becomes even more funny in the finale when Arin insists on taking selfies with Ganondorf. At that point even Danny decides he's finally gone too far with it.
    Arin: Hold on. Hold on. *Equips the pictobox*
    Danny: NO! Don't take a selfie right now!
    Arin: I gotta—I gotta—
    Danny: There's no time!
    Arin: I gotta make sure—
    Danny: Come on, Arin! *Ganondorf slashes Buttlet*
    Arin: I gotta make sure I get this one! *Ganondorf slashes Buttlet again* This is gonna be great.
    Danny: You are such an asshole.
    Arin: This is gonna be great on the mantle!
    Danny: You're losing fuckin' precious life that you can't get back!
    Arin: Come the fuck on, it's Ganondorf! When am I ever going to see Ganondorf again!?
    Danny: What are you, a Japanese tourist!? ...That was racist, I'm sorry.
    Arin: Alright here we go, here we go, here we go, uh—DONE! *Snaps a selfie of Buttlet with Ganondorf about to slash him yet again*
    *Arin and Danny lose it and then scream as the game resumes and they are slashed...again.*
    Arin: I got it! I got the pic of a lifetime!
    Danny: Oh my god, that's hilarious. It's like a dude on a boat smiling as, like, a great white shark, like, jaws open flies up behind him.
• Arin and Danny having tons of in-game trouble merely understanding that Phantom Ganon's sword pommel tip falls in the direction of the door Link is supposed to go through once the enemy disappears. This confusion lasts for ten minutes and is only worsened when they check an online guide on zeldadungeon.net, but it doesn't specify which end of the sword. A renowned Strategy Guide that is known for detailed information. The writer did not explicitly address the sword's handle as the important part, and just generalized it as the tip. The guide doesn't even say anything like "the part of the sword you can hold". Arin got this unclear statement turned around and interpreted it as referring to the blade tip.
• Arin's Dramatic Reading of Ganondorf.
  • Later, Dan joins in as Buttlet.
  • The trend continues when they voice the King of Red Lions.
• Arin's pseudo-hard attempt to get health fully knowing there's an easier way above him.

  Arin: I love his expressions! Wish I could take a selfie right now.
  Danny: It's sword!
  Arin: It's not a sword, it's Zelda! Zelda fuckin rocks!
  Danny: Oh! That makes more sense.
  Arin: Look at her, she's like, "I'm gonna use the fuckin sword" or whatever it's called. Yeah, she's winking at me.
  Danny: Very subtly, though.
  (Arin and Danny laugh at Buttlet's expression)
  Arin: Oh my god, that was the most like- "Yeah!"
  Danny: (sultry voice) Abso-fuckin-lutely!
• Doubles as a Heartwarming Moment, Danny and Arin's indignation over Ganondorf knocking out Zelda.
  • Also, Danny is happy at the idea of Buttlet and Zelda holding hands.
• "We have a ship!" "I AM a ship!"
• The commentary during the ending-a mixture of Call-Back, Running Gag, and Lampshade Hanging.
• The wind will guide us!

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

• Part 1, Arin questions the short, vague dialog of NPCs.
  Arin: (Reading the dialog of a child in game) Get candle in Parapa Palace. Go West.
  Arin: Is it just a rule that everyone has to talk in twitter?
• The temple gargoyles don't recommend you go in there.
• Arin keeping count of the repetitive knife weasels you fight, in response to Danny praising the game's variety of enemies (in defense of the game, and Danny, he was just in one of the handful of rooms where those enemies infinitely spawn)
• During Part 2 in the first temple, Danny runs into a really hyperactive Bubble.
  Danny: YAH! (struck by the Bubble) Jesus!
  Arin: Jesus Christ! What the fuck!?
  Danny: What is your problem!?
  (Arin starts laughing)
  Danny: Goddamn, dude!!
  (the Bubble makes another pass and gets him again)
  Danny: AAH!! Fuck!!
  Arin: (Arin's laughter buckles into coughing) God..
  Danny: Fuck that guy...! Wow!
  Arin: (in a fast-talking voice) MYBROTHERSTOLDMETHATIWASTOOSLOWTHATIWASTOOSLOW!!
  (Danny giggles)
  Arin: SOIFIGUREDMAYBEI'DGOFASTERTHANMYBROTHERSANDTHEYWON'TCALLMESLOWANYMORE!!
  Danny: He is definitely like the athlete of the family.
• "If all else fails, use fire.... just like I did to all my furniture."
• In Part 3, when the Grumps encounter the game's most notorious NPC:
  Villager: I am Error.
  *Beat*
  Danny and Arin: (almost simultaneously) ...well. (cue Dan cracking up)
• Link decides against fighting the temple boss.
• Part 4- Kevin's description of the video:
  SEIZURE WARNING: For those sensitive to bright flashing lights look away or skip 8:27- 8:28
  I'M BATMAN.
• In Part 5, Danny tries to demonstrate an enemy's attack pattern, only for the game to defy him in the best way possible:
  Danny: Like, he'll walk away, but as soon as you're like (jumps down onto the enemy's level, and the enemy keeps walking away, through a wall) okay, bad example...
• In Part 8, they struggle to find a way to wrap up the episode, so Danny just asks Kevin to put up the video of party favor baby, resulting in another Take That! at Ray William Johnson (the first being in the Strider 2 playthrough).
  Danny: Uh, Kevin, uh, fuckin'...give us, uh...party favor baby.
  (Video plays as the two keep talking)
  Arin: ...Party fa-?(laughs)
  Danny: Yeah!
  Arin: What are we, fuckin' Ray William Johnson now?
  Danny: Let's to it!
  Arin: (In a mocking voice) Check out this great video of a baby getting scared by a party blower! WOOAAAH! That was insane! Did you see that babies reaction!? It was like "WHAAAAAAA?"
  Danny: (laughs) "I'm rich!"
  (Both laugh)
• "I'VE GOT THE CHILD!!"
• Part 12 opens with Arin wasting no time:
  Danny: Hello!
  Arin: (in reference to an NPC carrying water on her head) She's a pothead.
  Danny: Oh, bro, goddammit. Is that the fastest we've ever made an amazing joke?
  Arin: She's like, "Yes, actually I do smoke a lot of weed."
  Danny: You were like, episode start, "I've got a zinger!"
  Arin: Time!
• Danny and Arin keep finding themselves singing along with the palace theme, which eventually leads to this little gem in episode 14, in which Danny sings about running Game Grumps and then backs up to add that Arin is also part of it.
• Near the end of episode 15, Arin tries to close it out before Danny asks for another minute, leading to a few Lemony Narrator moments from their editor, Kevin.

  Danny: Sorry, Kevin.
  Kevin: (How could you!?!)
  Danny: Yeah, say something! With your fucking blue text.
  Kevin: (I'm hungry.)
  Arin: Ooh, what're you gonna do? Erase the episode? (Kevin starts doing just that) Please don't.

• In Part 17, Arin expresses how much he finds the Link doll extra lives creepy while setting himself up to receive 50 perler bead Link dolls in the mail.
• Danny constantly calling Barba "Barbara" and then finishing off his boss battle by making Link duck and kiss his nose before he explodes.
• Part 21: Danny enters The Great Palace. It doesn't take long for hilarity to ensue, whether from Arin and Danny freaking out over the new enemies or getting sidetracked by the many dead ends.
• Part 22: Danny uncharacteristically freaks the fuck out at a troublesome obstacle.
  Danny: (absolutely irate) WOULD YOU BREAK, YOU FUCKING BLOCK!?!
  • Arin jokes about the Bots (the slime monsters) dropping down into pits to become one giant slime monster. Eventually, they run into just that.
• Danny and Arin joking about the name of the armored bird knights, "Fokka", sounding a little too much like Arin's favorite word. Even funnier, Arin unintentionally got their names right on a wild guess.
• After all the crap the Great Palace has given them, Danny beats the game two minutes into the finale.
  • When Link takes the Triforce back to Zelda, both Arin and Danny gently coax her into waking up, which eventually turns into them calling to her like she was a trained dog.
  • Speaking of dogs they comment on how the curtain drops over Link and Zelda's heads just to obscure their kiss.
  Danny:Yeah, yeah. Like the curtain draws up and they're just fuckin' doggy style. Like super hard "
  

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

• They name their character "Smeef," an Inherently Funny Word.
  • He is a descendant of Spiarmf and Scrumf from their previous Zelda play-throughs.
  • The other two save files are named Danny and FARTS!. Danny invites the viewer to guess which one belonged to Arin.
• Apparently, Dan never knew you could hurt the Cucco, let alone what happens when you do so. Arin, of course, tells him to do so. The result is priceless.
  Danny: OH GOD NO!! OH GOD! OH JESUS! Ah, really?! This happens? Oh, it's the chickenpocalypse!
  • Now with puppets!
• Arin gives Zelda the voice of Steven Wright.
  Arin: You need to find the Master Sword, Link. I can levitate birds. Nobody seems impressed.
  • By the time they get to the Dark Palace, Arin's forgotten what voice he gave Zelda and just reads her dialogue as Dr. Claw.
• Arin and Danny have trouble pronouncing the character names of "Agahnim" and "Sahasrahla".
• Arin and Danny get kind of irritated at Sahasrahla's hint boxes and wish he would stop being so pointlessly cryptic.
  Danny: If only you carried a SWORD of MASTERY...
  • Also the fact that he keeps introducing himself at the beginning of each message:
  Danny: 'Link, it is I, Sahasrahla[...]' Yeah, who the fuck else would it be? Like who fucking else is telepathically dialling in on these tiles?^note Although at one point, Zelda telepathically contacts Link and Danny confuses the voices because he thinks it's Sahasrahla again...
• Danny just chills next to Agahnim when he shoots his lightning.
  Danny (as Link): Hey! You shooting lightning at me? Neat! Do it again!
• After noticing the odd movements of the helmasaurs in the Palace of Darkness, Arin goes on a strange tangent, describing a situation where an obnoxious young boy blackmails his father into getting more lunch money, until Danny finally interrupts him with a pointed "What the fuck are you talking about, Arin!?"
• Danny thinks the trees in the Dark World look like Trumpy from "Pod People".
• In Episode 12 Danny attempts to heal himself with a fairy, only to have it immediately fly away from him forcing him to chase it down.
• The Racism Patrol
• Part 13 opens with Arin tricking Danny by saying a random bottomless pit leads to a secret area. It doesn't.
• Dan has trouble throwing bombs.
• Arin and Danny have a brief arguement on whether being turned into a tree is a good or bad thing. Arin seems to be in favor of it because it's better than being dead, and people love you. Danny points out that dogs will pee on you.
• Arin's epic three-minute rant about Subway.
  • Now animated!
  Danny (stunned): All you had to say was "their food is gross"...
• Towards the end of Part 34, Danny and Arin finally make it across an invisible floor in Ganon's Tower after much struggling and trying to go off of phone pictures they've taken immediately after using Ether. After refilling all his health and magic with a Blue Potion, Danny decides to see what lighting the torch by the door does. It shows where the floor is.
  Danny: Well...Next time on Game Grumps...
  Arin: ...we'll do something smarter.
• In the Finale, Dan asks Arin to voice Ganon. Arin goes for a Minnie Mouse-esque tone that must be heard to be believed.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

• And who is the successor to Spiarmf, Scrumf, Smeef, and Buttlet from their previous play-throughs? Meet Loafus! Danny points out that his full name is "Loafus Cramwell".
• Danny's never played a DS before, so he has a hard time holding it in his "giant mutant hands".
  Arin: We should get you the XL version.
  Danny: What tiny Asian girl hands was this thing designed for?
• They give several characters unfitting or inherently funny voices, like Joe Swanson as the blacksmith and accidentally switching the voices for Dampe and Seres, then just rolling with it.
• When Loafus finally meets Zelda, how does he describe his experiences thus far?
  Danny: SO THIS IS A STORY ALL ABOUT HOW...
  • And then when Zelda gives Loafus her "special possession", they imagine her taking off her bra without removing her shirt.
• The running gag of mis-pronouncing Sahasrahla's name returns. Danny's glee when he realizes he's in the game is the best part.
  • "...Because you just won't say that shit out loud."
  • At several points, Arin and Danny accidentally read his lines at the same time, giving Sahasrahla a Voice of the Legion. Naturally, this comes across as both hilarious and awesome.
  • Also their amusement when Osfala is mentioned.
  • The running gag of reading Princess Zelda's dialogue in Steven Wright's voice also returns, extending to Princess Hilda too when she finally appears...that is, until Arin devolves it into a Carl Sagan voice.
• Arin and Danny becoming distracted by Irene flying past. Cue Loafus thinking she's cute and wondering if she wants to go on a date to Olive Garden.
  Loafus: I have a $20 gift card! Well, it has like $18 on it because I bought breadsticks. But I can buy her more breadsticks! Think she likes breadsticks??
  • Danny noting that the way Irene lands her broom, she keeps inadvertently giving Loafus a Panty Shot.
• The Grumps point out the Fridge Logic that Zelda had enough foresight to give the Pendant of Courage to Loafus to keep it away from Yuga...but not enough foresight to evacuate the castle in case he attacks.
  Arin: She looks at her To-Do List and it has "Leave castle before shit goes down" written at the bottom.
  Danny: And she looks out the window and it's all like BLEEEEGH and she's like "...Oops."
• Part 9:
  • "B'Scuse me, you think I can eat all this shit by myself?!" '''"BITCH I DON'T KNOW YO' LIFE!!!"'''
  • "WHERE DA PUSSY PRODUCTS AT!?"
  • "B'OKAY!"
• As he's approaching the boss door in the House of Gales, he hits a red Bari, only to be hurt by one of the resulting Biris electrocuting him.
  Arin: Oh, he split into two little guys!
  Danny: ...Did he? *both crack up*
  Arin: What would you do without me?
• The character Rosso makes them think of Ross, so they give him a terrible Australian accent.
  "Gonna give you a proper Australian rogering!"
• CAPTAIN MOTORCYCLE!
  • Animated!
• Arin belching as he reads Princess Hilda's lines, then the Grumps deciding she's drunk as she monologues about Lorule to Loafus.
• Danny proclaiming, "I'm nimble as a goat!" and then immediately falling off a cliff.
• "YOU, THERE! Slowly limping lizard man! Are you friend or foe?!"
• Dan being Tsundere for the Thief Girl.
  Danny: Come, darling!
  Arin: Come, my lady!
  Danny: [singing] Come, my lady, come, come my lady, you're my butterfly d— [the Thief Girl fails to follow Loafus down a passage] LEARN HOW TO USE THE STAIRS, BUTTERFLY! [Arin laughs so hard he coughs]
• In Part 27, Danny gets absolutely destroyed less than three minutes after entering Skull Woods.
  Danny: Oh, this is-this is going to be fucking annoying, I can already tell.
• While fighting the boss in Part 35, Arin and Danny have this musing:
  Arin: What is it about cycloptic octopuses that make so much sense?
  Danny: Uhhh, probably because they have no eyes.
  Arin: They have two eyes.
  Danny: Yeah, but if you get rid of those and zero baby.
• "Y'know what my dead grandma said? GEE I WISH I WASN'T DEAD."
• "I'll Make Love to You" by Boys II Men in the style of Swedish Chef.
• In the penultimate episode of the seemingly cursed playthrough^note that had Arin deleting their original audio for it, the duo were able to remember and recreate the funny bit of Hilda considering making an Airbnb out of her labyrinthine, deadly castle.
  • Now animated!

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

• Joining the ranks of Spiarmf, Buttlet, Scrumf, Smeef, and Loafus Cramwell, we get Slurmp.
• Dan and Arin's Alternative Character Interpretation of Navi as a drunk.
• Danny is completely disturbed by Mido, and then Arin gives him an incredibly silly voice:
  Arin/Mido: "I, the great Mido, will never accept you as one of our own!"
  Danny/Link: "I think I'll find a way to carry on."
  • After Mido moves out of the way, Danny suggests, "Now would be a good time to test out your sword."
• Danny relates the story of a CD he and Ninja Brian found while they were signing copies of Under the Covers at the CD Baby plant. "Sharkman Frank" is a man who is dressed like a pirate and sings like a pirate. As far as Danny can find out, he sings at a restaurant in South Carolina, and the CD is the songs he sings to patrons. As Brian discovered, they were literally the first people to view his videos on YouTube.
• During the Deku Tree's dying words, Danny remarks, "I'm about to become 3 million toothpicks."
• More Alternative Character Interpretation: Kaepora Gaebora is a chicken desperately trying to convince Link that he's actually a majestic owl.
• The entire scene where Zelda tells young Link about her prophetic dreams is pure gold from start to finish. Some highlights:
  Arin/Zelda: The green and shining stone. If you had that, I'd blow you right now.
  Danny: Yes. I have the green thing you said.
  Arin: I'll show you. After the blowjob.
  
  Arin/Zelda: I also had this part in the dream where, like, y'know the trees were on fire, and like, there was a crab following me around and he was like, [masculine voice] fuck your father fuck your father FUCK YOUR FATHER-[Dan cracks up]
  
  Zelda: I am Zelda, princess of Hyrule.
  Danny: Wow. She's more angular than I remember.
  Arin/Zelda: What's your name?
  Link: ........
  Arin/Zelda: ...Are-Are you gonna say anything or...? [pause] ...Slurmp. Mmmmm.
  Danny: [struggling to breathe through his laughter] Something about... her face with you saying that after a huge pause...
  Arin/Zelda: Did I get that right? Slurmp? You sure? [Dan dies laughing again] Ssslurmp. Strange, it sounds somehow familiar-
  Danny/Zelda: Oh yeah, I remember I barfed once and made that sound. SLURMP.
  
  Zelda: Please keep this a secret from everyone. [Arin picks “No"; twice before finally selecting "OK"] I trust you!
  Danny: Dude, stop hurting her feelings!
  
  Arin/Zelda: If you tell anybody the story, I'll have somebody wring your fucking neck!
  Danny/Zelda: Or I'll do it myself, with my polygonal-
  Arin/Zelda: With my eggbeater hands!
  Danny/Zelda: -With my fused fingers!
  Arin/Zelda: With my wedges of cheese that I use for hands!
  
  Danny/Zelda: Though [Ganondorf] swears allegiance to my father, I am sure he's not sincere. I mean look at his fucking outfit! He looks evil for sure. Have you seen his hair? My dad always said: never trust a ginger!
  
  Arin/Zelda: [after Ganondorf looks at them] Oh shit, your cover's blown! Here, go into this water! Cover yourself in chocolate syrup immediately! Just dive!
  Danny: She's like, fucking with you.
  Arin: He's like, What now?
  Both/Zelda: Roll onto the ants! Run into that nest of bears! Do it, it's cool! Staple the salmon to your face and run into the bear... thing... the enclave! Nah it's cool, he's like, a king's bear, he's trained.
  
  Arin/Zelda: He doesn't have any idea what we're planning... yet! Premarital sex! [beat] Once we're older, of course.
  Danny: [as Link] Yessss.
  Arin/Zelda: I told my father about my dream, and he was like, "Just do what the crab says, just, don't worry about the crab." [as the crab] fuck your father! [as Zelda] He didn't think it was a prophecy, but I can sense that man's evil intentions. I mean, look at the way he slurps up his soup. [slurping noises] What an asshole! [ten straight seconds of laughter]
  
  Danny: He [Link] keeps like, looking like, not at her at all. He's like "Man, that bird is far away." [both Grumps crack up]
  Arin/Zelda: Hey! Listen! Slurmp, now we are the only ones who can protect Hyrule! Here, take this baseball bat, beat the man to death, do it right now! Do it! NOWWW!!!
• More Alternative Character Interpretation: Zelda is completely insane talking about her visions, and Slurmp doesn't realize it until she writes her official letter on the back of a potato. (Which is something they also say about Zelda in 'A Link Between Worlds'.) They also interpret Darunia as a stoner when he asks for something "green and natural."
  • Dan's reaction to Darunia's famous "happy dance".
• Arin re-iterates his observation from Sequelitis that the Gorons say they're starving from lack of rocks (which they eat for food)...and completely failed to notice that THEY LIVE IN A CAVE MADE OF ROCKS.^note Though this is explained in game that the Gorons have become greedy and only want the high-quality rocks from Dodongos Cavern.
• In part 13, Arin asks Dan what "intrepid" means, explaining that he was once given a Dodge Intrepid from his brother (who himself got it from their dad). Dan looks it up and they have the following exchange:
  Danny: (reading from his phone) Intrepid, adjective: fearless, adventurous...
  Arin: Cool. That car... (laughing mid-sentence) exploded!
  (Both Arin and Danny burst out laughing)
  Danny: S'about as fearless and adventurous as it gets!
  • Now in animated form.
• Arin spends the first three minutes of part 14 saying he needs to find the bombs to progress. Dan points out that he got the bomb bag in the previous part.
  • A minute or two later, Danny himself blanks while trying to remember the word "song", causing him to wonder if there are toxic chemicals leaking into the grump room and making them both stupid.
• After Arin manages to kill King Dodongo (with a quarter-heart left of health) and he rolls into the lava, Dan and Arin make him into a Terminator.
• Danny meets the Great Fairy.
  Danny: Aw jeez, I was gonna say "she's hot", but then I saw... her face.
• Arin's increasing annoyance at Malon repeatedly calling him "Fairy-boy".
  Arin: Call me motherfuckin' Fairy-Boy one...more...time.
  Danny: You just get all up in her face like, "Say. Slurmp."
• In Ep. 20, Dan gets fed up with Princess Ruto's demanding attitude.
  Danny: Oh my god... Just smother her.
• Pretty much every scene with Ruto is funny, but the Grumps' reaction after you get the Zora's Sapphire is hilarious:
  Danny: Ooh, she is into you! Oh, that is the look!
  Arin: (as Ruto) "Fuck my head-hole!"
  Danny: Yeah! (as Ruto) "Yeah, put it in my gills!"
  Ruto: My mother said I should only give it to the man who will become my husband...all right! I'll give it to you! My most precious possession...the Zora's Sapphire!
  Danny: Oh my god, why are people trying to marry you off at eight? Constantly?
  Arin: (as Ruto) Here's my precious possession...it's in my pussy.(Arin and Danny crack up)
• Danny pointing out as soon as Slurmp gets the Zora's Sapphire, he immediately runs off to see Zelda.
• Zelda implores you to protect the Triforce.
• Danny's reaction to the world after Link awakens in the Temple of Time:
  "Nice job sleeping for seven years on the job, Dink!"
• "Polish pole-polishing"
• In part 24:
  • Danny sings the Poe Salesman's dialogue to the tune of "YMCA". Both Grumps then continue to improvise a song to it.
  • Once again, the Grumps did not pay attention to their directions:
    Arin: I'm going into fuckin'... uh... Kokiri Fore- Did he tell me to go to Kakariko or Kokiri?
    Danny: Oh crap...
  • Immediately after that, they start doing their versions of Saturday Night Live's rendition of Harry Carey.
• In Part 25, they encounter Anju and get the Pocket Cucco.
  Danny: Man, isn't that just like a woman? Start off all flirty and fun, and then boom. Ten minutes later you're carrying their baby.
• Arin repeatedly running into Dampe's fireballs.
  Arin: I like how he's like tempting you come back with something cool...he's like, "I live down here and...you can come visit me! I've got candy!"
  Danny: "Anytime! I've got Reese's Pieces! ...But I'm dead so they're Deceases Pieces!"
• Arin and Danny go to the Sacred Forest Meadow and get attacked by the Moblins inside. Arin discovers he can hit them with bombs.
  Arin: Oh fuck, I got him! Oh, nice! He made like a really pained sound, too. Like, "ARGH!"
  Danny: Wow, what a little bitch. He pisses and moans every time he explodes. (Arin laughs)
• In Part 29, the Grumps decide to start giving bad sex advice. "When a girl's ready to cum, yell into her vagina! CUM ALREADY!!! LET'S GO!"
  Danny: Oh my god... Wow... Well, you're lucky you're married, Arin cause, uh... The race is over for you, but I am certainly never getting laid again. At least by anyone who sees this video.
• Fans have been criticizing Arin in the comments for not using the shield in combat, especially for portions where it's essential. It gets worse in Part 29 where Arin is screwing around with the shield at the beginning of the video...only to die against the Stalfos later for not using it.
  • It gets more surreal later when Arin reveals he knows to use the shield, he just hates how it makes him wait for combat and he's annoyed by playing by the game's rules...even though those rules are essential to playing the game.
  • When they finally get to the Bottom of the Well, Arin gets his shield stolen by a Like-Like. Danny doesn't understand why he's upset since he doesn't use the shield anyway!
• In Part 29, Arin and Danny recall the singer of R.E.O. Speedwagon and how he and Heath Ledger's Joker are "one and the same".
  Danny: Here's the problem, doctor. I just can't stop killing Gotham. It's sooo beautiful!
• In episode 30, Arin ignores Navi's warning to watch out for Wallmasters. Twice. Including right at the end of the episode when Link is dragged back to the beginning of the temple.
  Danny: Good job, asshole!
  Arin: Whatever, I was following my dreams of getting picked up by a giant evil hand! (Danny laughs) And I succeeded!
• Episode 31 devolves into Arin and Danny impersonating a wistful ghost discussing his longing to spend his afterlife teabagging unsuspecting sleepers.
• In Part 33 Arin and Danny briefly stop fighting about the dungeon layout long enough to discuss Firefly:
  Arin: But in Firefly they actually herd cows in space.
  Danny: Yeah, it's true.
  Arin: So they're, like, literally the only space cowboys in any lore ever.
  Danny: [to the tune of "The Ballad of Serenity"] Take mah land, take mah land, jerk me off with my left hand...
  Arin: [singing along] I don't care, it feels like someone else is doin' it! [pause] You can't take the sky from me...
  [They both lose it]
• Danny's favorite band is Rush and Arin's favorite band is Jamiroquai. Danny shows in Part 33 he's able to name all twenty of Rush's studio albums and the year they were released in less than thirty seconds. Arin, by contrast, can't even remember the order each Jamiroquai album was released in.
• In Part 35 Danny accidentally refers to their channel as "Game Grumps dot YouTube slash com."
  • Danny learns a lesson in patience.
  Danny: Is that Saria?
  Saria: I am Saria.
  Danny: You know what, that was bad timing for me. (cracks up)
  [...]
  Arin: This is the thing I was telling you about-
  Danny: Does she not remember you?
  Saria: Because I know you...
  Danny: Dammit! [...] Alright, I'm gonna start reading now and then talk.
• Danny finds out about Epona's gender in the most awkward way possible:
  Arin: Do you think Epona's, like, standing there in the future like, "I hope he didn't go back in the past again. Shit, I don't know what I would do, just standing here..."
  Danny: "Listen, I... It took me years to develop this awesome horse cock..."
  Arin: (giggling) Epona's a girl.
  Danny: Right. Well, then...
  • Shortly followed up by: "Like I said, it took a LONG TIME to develop."
• The Grumps decide that Darunia's son looks like the lead singer of Smash Mouth, and proceed to sing all of his dialogue to the tune of "All Star".
  Danny: He kinda looks like the lead singer of Smash Mouth.
  [Beat]
  Arin and Danny, in perfect sync: Somebody- [both start laughing]
  • Arin and Danny making fun of the dragon named Volvagia.
• Arin gets stuck in one annoying area in the Fire Temple in Part 39 and decides to just lay down in the lava and die...until the fairy he had in a bottle revives him.
• Part 39. Arin spends half the episode failing to roll up a short slope, not realising he can just walk up. It's so bad, Danny tells Arin that even he's going to leave an angry comment on the video. Sure enough, the top comment, with over 27000 likes:
  Ninja Sex Party: Arin sucks at video games.
• When Arin's ranting about Bonooru the Scarecrow and claims he doesn't care about his friend Pierre:
  Danny: What's the rat's name from Ratatouille?
  Arin: Remy.
  Danny: Cool. ...I thought it was Pierre.
• When the Z-targeting suddenly decides to put a metal cage between Link and the camera, Dan makes a terrible Z-targeting joke.
  Danny: I guess Z-target stands for "Zee boy cannot see through this cage!" [snickers] I dunno, that was not funny, I dunno why I'm laughing at it.
• Danny's reaction to adult Ruto:
  Danny: Ooh, hey baby...
  Arin: That's Ruto.
  Dany: Who? Oh! The bitch! (Arin giggles)
• Doubling as a Crowning Moment of... Exasperation? Arin once again refuses to use his shield, this time against the Shell Blades in Eps. 48 & 49, instead getting Link's ass killed and screeching "FUCKING CLAMS!!"
  • This is especially funny after Arin bragged about how The Water Temple was "so not hard", only to promptly get killed by one of the first enemies he sees.
• In Ep. 49, Arin arguing the idea that The Great Grape Ape qualifies as a Kaiju. Dan turns to the internet to confirm this, only to find an old twitter conversation about it, between Arin and Ross.
• Arin tries to use the Megaton Hammer to kill Dark Link, but Dark Link just blocks it with his shield. The irony is staggering.
  • Even better, apparently Raleigh Ritchie was outside waiting to film his spot on Guest Grumps the entire time Arin was getting frustrated with this.
• When Link returns to Kakariko Village after defeating the Water Temple, the village is shown to be on fire. Arin attributes it to be the fault of someone's George Forman grill.
• At the tail end of Episode 58, Danny and Arin decide to show off footage of them in the Grump Room since it's being remodeled. Danny randomly asks Arin if he's ever banged anybody in there, and he playfully denies it.
• Part 59 features Danny reading the first paragraph of this article, titled "The Rumor Come Out: Does Bruno Mars is Gay?"
  • Before this moment, Danny talks about when he borrowed Arin's iPhone to look up something, and upon seeing some of the voice memos he left on the phone, proceeds to read off four random ones for the viewers: "big dick", "I love fucking bitches", "make the peepees" and "fart chamber". Arin was laughing hysterically afterwards.
    • And also "eat healthy."
• As of the Shadow Temple, Link is finally using the shield...but won't take off the Hover Boots and keeps slipping around on the floor.
• The head carpenter asks Link to retrieve his workers from the Gerudo camp. Then Arin and Danny have THIS exchange...
  Arin: They're just jacking off in a corner. Nothing mysterious about it.
  Danny: You return after twelve days with a long beard like (panting) "They're over there jacking off." And he's like "Oh."
  Arin: You're like starving and dehydrated and you're like "They're just jacking it man."
  Danny: I watched them for twelve days thinking "There's gotta be something else going on." Nope. Twelve days of straight jacking. Never stopping. Endless jerking. Twelve days 24 hours a day. That... is...(clearly adding it on a calculator)...288 hours of straight jacking.
  Arin: It was crazy. They went into some Zen state where they didn't need to eat or sleep.
  Danny: They ran out of cream at hour 146. They just kept going, undeterred. It was inspiring.
  Arin: I tried to do it but I could only get to hour two. My foreskin just got red and sore.
• Arin gradually becomes more and more frustrated with Gerudo's Fortress, constantly getting caught by the guards (mostly because-to the lovelies' infinite frustration-he insists on wearing the hover boots even though he's not using them and they're clearly slowing him down) until he finally screams:
  Arin: NNNNNGH! I. WANT. MURDER! I want it! (sassy girl voice) Daddy give it to me! Daddy, daddy! (kissy sounds)
• In Ep. 68 the Grumps briefly touch on the Thor movie, and Dan suggests Chris Hadfield should've played Thor but Arin gets him confused with... someone else.
  Danny: They should've had Chris Hadfield instead of Chris Hemsworth.
  Arin: [laughing] Chris Hadfield?
  Danny: Yeah, noted Canadian astronaut-.
  Arin: CHUGGA-CHUGGA-CHAH! He would just say "eh" after everything? He'd be like, "I'M THORRR-EH!"
  Danny: Wh—Did—Does he say that? Does he talk like that? Are we talking about the same person?
  Arin: ...I'm thinking of James Hetfield.
  Danny: Yeah, you sure are!
• In Part 77 Nabooru briefly becomes Laura the "small town girl" from Super Mario Maker #68.
  Arin/Nabooru: By the way... I really messed up... Y'see, I told this guy I was on the pill.
  Dan: Now I don't know what to do! [strangled voice] It's me... Laaauura!
  Arin: I'm just a small town girl from Gerudo Valley!
  Dan: Tune into NBC this summer for another hot episode of... Balls In My Mooouuuuth!
• Part 78:
  • They finally get to the "Sheik is Zelda" reveal. Danny legitimately didn't know beforehand, so seeing his mind getting blown in real-time is incredible to listen to.
    Dan: Are you fucking shitting all over both of my nuts?!
  • And then they laugh about how many times Arin nearly ruined the surprise.
    Arin: There's so many times where I like just let it slip, where I was like, "there's Sheik, she's right there-uh, I mean he".
    Dan: Yeah, I just thought you were just like, fucking being an idiot!
    They both break into laughter
  • Moments later Dan has a realization how bad a job Arin was doing.
    Danny: Oh my god, now I do remember like a bunch of times you're like—*Stammers*—Wow, you actually did like...almost everything you could to blow that for me! Good thing I've fuckin—*Stammers*...I did not see that coming.
    • YouTuber John Odd made a super cut of all the Sheik scenes, culminating in the reveal. The compressed nature of the video makes Danny missing Arin's constant flubs even funnier.
• An Event-Obscuring Camera pushes Arin to his breaking point during the final boss fight.
  [Camera suddenly hides Link from view as Ganon spins around]
  Arin: Shitshitshit where am I—[Link dies] FUCK! God damn this fucking bullshit camera! Like I'm not fuckin'—I'm not making it up, man! You can see! You can see how fuckin' bullshit it is, man! God damn it! I can't see shit when his fuckin' stupid dumbass pig ass is in my face! Jesus, just fucking allow me to see what I'm doing, 'cuz clearly I can fucking do it without getting hit, until your stupid asshole game gets in my fuckin’ way, and wastes my GODDAMN TIME, AND I HAVE TO DO THIS STUPID FUCKING BULLSHIT AGAIN!! FOR THREE FUCKING MINUTES!!!
  Danny: [Beat] See you soon!
  Arin: It's a masterpiece. Ten outta ten!
• While escaping Ganon's crumbling castle, Arin foolishly has Link walk off the pathway, resulting in Link falling to his doom.
  Arin: "I was just taking a shortcut!"
  Danny: "Don't worry, my love! I'll save us! AARGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
• The Grumps' absolute glee at Ganon's death scene.
  Ganon: YOU...
  Danny: ...dick!
  Ganon: CURSE YOU, ZELDA!... CURSE YOU, SAGES!!
  Danny: Say it! Say-
  Ganon: CURSE YOU, SLURMP!
  Arin and Danny: Yeah! [crack up]

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (April Fools)

• Both episodes feature no gameplay but are rather Arin and Danny being filmed playing the game. April Fools 2016, everyone.
  "One hundred percent Face Cam, because YOU demanded it!"
• The spelling is uncertain because there's no gameplay footage, but Arin's name pick for Link is in line with expectations.
• Towards the end of the first episode Danny mimes jacking off, realizing too late that the camera's recording him and not the game.

Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon

• The mere fact they're even playing the game in the first place. During the fan meetup at a Wendy's in Columbus, Ohio,^note Where Wendy's is headquartered a fan gave Arin a CD-i and a copy of the game.
• The Grumps open up with them preparing for the episode. They're keeping themselves entertained by voicing over the characters in the opening cutscene, only to soon realize that the episode has started and they've been saying nonsense for about 10 seconds or so.
  Arin: (in Zelda's voice) But father, what if I suck my own dick?
  Danny: (in King's voice) You don't have a dick, Zelda.
• Dan blurts out "WHO AM I?!" in his old man voice when Gwonam first appears.
• "There's a pointless ladder here!"
• In Part 4, Dan sings along to the map theme:
  Dan: Looks like you have a baby penis!
  • Which leads to:
    Dan: Use the power of the baby penis!
    Arin (frantically): Wh-what? N-no! Shut up I don't have a baby penis!
• Arin's continuous rage in Part 5 as he tries and fails repeatedly to get through a single room. He may have to rethink his opinion of Skyward Sword being the worst Zelda game at this point.
• Because of the unclear areas you can or can't jump, Arin actually pauses to consult a walkthrough before jumping over a pit. He finds the right way to go, but still accidentally jumps in the pit.
• The Arpagos ^note The Grumps refer to them as "pterodactyls" never fail to piss off Arin. There are two areas in Part 7 that spawn an absurdly large number of them.
  Dan: Welcome to Jurassic Park.
• Arin notices that Zelda and the fisherman could've just easily walked through the ribcage of the beached up whale skeleton.
• Also from Part 7: "FUCK IT!"
• When Arin struggles to get the Arpagos Egg, Dan decides to lighten the mood and/or annoy Arin.
  Dan: What do you call a dinosaur that's psychic? A tarot^note Pronounced tare-roh-dactyl! *Forced, obnoxious-sounding laughter.*
  Arin: ...I wish I could kill you... just wish it... with all my heart.
• Upon entering the abandoned church in Sakado, the Grumps meet a Gibdo whose voice reminds them of a certain cartoon character.
  Gibdo: For the dead shall rise, and the living shall be their slaves!
  Dan: (Imitating his gruff voice) Hey, hey, hey! It is Faaaaat Albert!
  Both: (Laugh)
  Arin: (Same voice) Hey Mushmouth! What are you doing with that marijuana?
  Dan: Fadoo paddee ba Fat Albert!
  Both: (Laugh)
  Arin (Same voice): Hey man! What are you doing Rudy? Stop trying to get me a back massage, Rudy! What are you doing?
  Both: (Laugh)
  Dan: Do people even know about Fat Albert anymore?
  Arin: Ah Jesus, I've got to fucking go all the way to Sakado again.
  Dan: Ah, Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. Again, not as cute now that Bill Cosby has had his issues. But... or that his issues have come to light.
  Arin: Oh yeah.
  Dan: Hum... but man, I loved Fat Albert as a kid.
• In Part 11, Arin discovers that almost every item costs Rupees to use. He is... less than pleased.
• Part 13 opens up with what Arin considers to be a perfect summation of Game Grumps and his and Danny's general relationship:
  Danny: Heyyy!
  Arin: FUCK!
• Within the first 45 seconds of Part 15, Zelda dies by falling into a pit. Arin's deadpan frustration and Danny's giggling pretty much sum up the emotional state of the Grumps.
• "The only silver lining to this game is that we'll be dead someday."
• Arin forgets to get a critical item and admonishes himself, saying he's probably going to get tons of comments about that. Danny points out that so few people have played this game that the audience probably didn't notice either.
  • Cue a bunch of understanding comments from fans. "Wand of Gamelon" is so bad it's the one game they're not going to give Arin grief over for being bad at.
• From Part 19:
  • Their reaction to the "You've killed me!" "Good." exchange.
  • Just as Arin has Zelda use a rope to get to a room, Danny accurately predicts a random bat coming out of nowhere and killing her, resulting in Arin having to replay the ENTIRE level from the beginning. Arin’s immediate reaction is priceless.
• The Cold Open to Part 23 features a commercial for the Game Grumps' 2016 Holiday Merch. Dan and Arin are hanging stockings when a Santa comes in and starts wreaking havoc on the Grump Space. Hilarity Ensues. Also, Ross sleeps through the whole ordeal.
  Arin: (slurring speech) Suzy, we got a jingle-jangle problem on our hands- Santa's goin' NUTS!
• Arin beats Ganon by literally tossing the Wand of Gamelon at him. And they don't get to see his death cutscene because the disc is dirty.
  Dan: Here we are preparing for, like, a giant battle...
  Arin: YOU MUST DIE—pbblt.

Link: The Faces of Evil

• When Danny ask which The Legend of Zelda CD-i Games game was released first^note They were both released simultaneously, Arin replies "the chicken", comparing Dan's question with the classic chicken-egg dilemma. Then Arin affirms he believes the chicken did come first, which causes Dan to question his twisted logic.
  Arin: I'm serious, the chicken came first. Because whatever that chicken came from had to evolve in its birthing process. So whether it came from an egg or a from a fucking warm birth--
  Dan: What do you mean "whether it came from an egg"? If it came from an egg, then the egg came first!
  • Dan then compares Arin's statement with that of a Flat Earth Society stating "We have members all around the globe."
• Their incredulous reaction to the baboon-like enemy in Nortinka.
• In part 4, Danny goes on Wikipedia and finds out how the Philips CD-i lost its company $1 billion. Arin's reaction is a mixture of shock, disbelief, and amusement.
  Arin: How did they lose one billion?! You gotta be a severe fuck-up.
• From Part 5, there's Arin's priceless reaction to the frozen woman, after Link has thawed her out, giving him Water of Life — then promptly freezing again.
• In part 10, Link gets caught between two crab enemies, killing him in a matter of seconds. Both Dan and Arin crack up at this, but Dan brings it home with a quick "HELP!". Arin completely loses it at that point.
• Their reaction to Lupay's voice and her death scene in Part 15.
• In part 17, they meet Militron, who announces "NOW, YOU MUST DIE!"
  Arin: I love how he greets you.
  Danny: He's kinda cool-looking.
  Arin: Hello! Hey, you must die. Welcome. You must die.
  Danny: Will you be staying for dinner? You must die.
  Arin: Here's your giftbag. You must die. Welcome to WalMart. You must die.
  Danny: Shalom! And Happy Hanukah! You must die.
  Arin: Oh, Link! It's great to see you again! You must die.
  [Arin gets killed by worm enemies]
  Arin: These fucking tapeworms everywhere! What am I supposed to do!
  Danny: I'll tell you what you're supposed to do: You must die.
  Arin: You ate raw chicken. You must die. These tapeworms will assist.
  Danny: Arin! Oh, God, I haven't seen you since high school!
  Arin: How long's it been? Fifteen, sixteen years?
  Danny: You must die.
  Arin: Thank you for calling Game Stop, where you can preorder Call Of Duty Infinite Warfare, this is Charles speaking. You must die.
  Danny: Hello, welcome to Movie Phone! If you know the name of the movie you'd like to see, please press the first three letters of it now! You must die.
• At the end, when Link defeats Ganon and saves Zelda.
  Link: I just saved you from Ganon!
  Zelda: You did not.
  [the wizard pops in to congratulate Link]
  Danny: (as the wizard) HE FUCKING TOTALLY DID! DON'T COCKBLOCK HIM!

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

• Arin and Danny's constant arguing over whether or not Link should put on clothes or not.
• Danny bringing up Arin's The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past vs The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Sequelitis video.
  Arin: It's the first Zelda since the first one that's just fucking open.
  Danny: It's like they saw your, uh, Sequelitis and, were like, "We'll fucking show him!"
  Arin: I mean, yeah! [laughs] That would be cool if they were like, "Fuck this guy!"
• Arin and Danny pronounce Oman Au Shrine as "Oh man! Aww, shrine!"
• Dan narrowly avoids dropping the N word when doing his impression of the Old Man after paragliding in.
• During the Bomb Trial, Arin keeps getting caught in the blast radius. Dan's advice is to run away from explosions.
• Dan recounts how a female friend of his sent him a photo of an eighty-year-old man that hit on her and asked him what he thought his pick-up line was. Dan's guess is "I don't understand why the Chinese can't just use forks and spoons like the rest of us. You look good tonight!"
• Arin accidentally jumps off a cliff, leaving him with just a quarter heart of health, and tries to heal by eating apples only to find that they aren't that effective. He complains that the programmers should have made them heal more health to send the message that apples are good for you, but Danny retorts that "if you jump off a cliff and shatter your body, maybe two apples aren't really going to get the job done. I think that's a fair lesson, actually".
• In the Ja Baij Shrine, Arin has a bit of trouble using the bombs for the first time. When he reenters the temple for a chest he missed, He throws a bomb and runs directly into the explosion (that in this game are detonated by the player, at that). And then proceeds to do it about three more times before the episode ends.
  • In Part 2, Arin attempts to kill a swarm of bees with a bomb. It goes just as well as you'd expect. Arin's excuse is that they're "bomb-resistant bees."
• After climbing a giant cliff, they find the Owa Daim Shrine.
  Arin and Dan in perfect unison: OH A DAAAAMN SHRIIIINE!
  Dan: "What's up there?" "Oh, a damn shrine!"
  Arin: Who names these things?
• Arin tries to tell a story:
  Arin: So I was at Target...
  Danny: Stop bragging!
• In Part 7, Link approaches a giant rock that suddenly gets highlighted by several question marks (indicating to the player there's something in or behind the rock). Arin and Dan are completely baffled by this... and then suddenly a hoard of moblins come charging from behind the rock after Link. The Grumps are quite taken aback by this.
• From Part 9: using a bomb to sneak-attack a Bokoblin camp? Pretty much standard procedure for this game. Danny goes above and beyond, though, with a gentle "Good morning."
• In Part 12, around the Lanayru Promenade, Arin manages to escape some bokoblins, only to run into a moblin, which knocks him down a quarter heart of health. Then Arin accidentally turns into Morty for a second:
  Arin: Fuuuuck! Ahh! Oh jeez! (giggles) Oh jeez, Rick!
  Danny: Aw, Morty! He's comin' for ya, Morty!
  • Danny then jokes when the Moblin stops chasing them that Link is out of his jurisdiction.
• After meeting Purah in Part 14, Arin and Danny start to suspect, based on how many people remember Link from before his Shrinification and know exactly how to help him or where to point him next in his quest, that Link is a completely ordinary guy who only took a one-hour nap. While he was asleep, everyone in Hyrule decided to put together an elaborate lie about how he'd been out for 100 years and was suffering amnesia as a result.
  Dan: And the first person says "Calamity Ganon" and everyone's like "Fuck! Now we all have to commit to that"...
  • By this point in the playthrough, Arin has identified four characters (Hestu, Paya, the first Great Fairy, and Purah) as each being his favorite. It could make for a decent Drinking Game...
  • They also get a lot of mileage out of the fact that Purah's lab assistant is named Symin, which they insist on pronouncing "see-min." The wording of her experiment notes doesn't help.
    Purah's notes: After twenty seconds of exposure, I felt extreme fatigue and broke into a fever—
    Danny: That'll happen.
    Purah's notes: This morning I kicked Symin awake and had him run a full physical exam on me— [Arin corpses]
    Danny: Yeah, I'll bet you did!
• Immediately after activating Hateno Tower, Arin glides off, and wonders whether he can land on the back of one of the horses below him. He does.
• While scavenging around some inactive Guardians, Arin pans the camera up to see that one of them is alive. Cue massive freakout from Arin, who ends up dying in the process.
  Arin: Look at all the shit we're eplorning!
  Danny: [laughs] "Explorning"?
  Arin: See? I wouldn't- OH GOD, IT'S ALIVE!
• Riju's introduction in Part 20. Everybody drink!
  Arin: She's cute, she's my favorite character.
  • After they talk to Malena, whose husband is sick:
    Danny: My husband's dying. He wanted to die with me, but you know, I'm in this women's city, so... Good luck to him, wherever he is.
    "My husband's dying." "Why, 'cause he's in the fucking desert somewhere?" "Yeah, probably."
• Link meets Bozai. The Grumps are...underwhelmed.
  Arin: I love how this is "his chance." Making a girl go on a fucking expedition for him.
  Danny: "You wouldn't believe how few responses I get on my OKCupid profile!"
  • From the same episode, Sho Dantu Shrine.
    You already showed me to the shrine! [in Dan's "Avi voice"] "Show Dan to shrine!"
• In Part 23, when Link and Riju are teaming up to take on Vah Naboris:
  Riju [in Arin's patented "princess voice"]: What a sight. Divine Beast Vah Naboris is pretty intimidating...
  Danny: Yeah, call it whatever you want, babe.
  • Later:
    Riju: Ancestors of the Gerudo! Answer my call! Aid me in this task!
    Arin: NOOOO.
    Danny: BUSY.
    Arin: BITCH PLEASE.
    Danny: MY THAI FOOD JUST ARRIVED.
  • Also, their interpretation of Lady Urbosa.
    Urbosa: [about Zelda working herself to the bone] I'd be doing the same thing.
    Arin: If I wasn't so fuckin' hot and awesome.
    Danny: Yeah, if I wasn't too busy being fucking shredded.
• While fighting Vah Naboris, Link has to use Bomb Arrows to damage its feet. Place your bets, folks; how will this turn out?
  Arin: Ow!
• Arin's idea of what Lady Urbosa gets up to after Link leaves.
  Well, now that he's gone... (bvvvvvv)
• Part 29 has Arin constantly dying in hilarious ways. Particularly when he attempts to kill an electric Keese with a bomb arrow, which explodes in his face.
  Dan: Arin, I'm gonna punch you right in the head.
  Arin: What is that, six?
  • And again in Part 36. The episode title says it all.
    Dan: Arin, that was the dumbest death! (both laugh as Link's corpse falls through the air)
• Also from Part 29: Arin abuses the Sheikah Slate's selfie function.
  • Also, Arin tries to kill a Molduga by throwing bombs from afar, only to get oneshotted by a Lizalfos.
• Arin casually outrunning a Yiga archer, insisting he's not going to get him...then the Yiga teleports in front of Arin and snipes him, dealing four-heart damage and Arin has to be revived with a fairy.
• During the fight against Windblight Ganon, Danny reminisces about an old improv sketch:
  "My grandson just graduated from Hawvahd!"
  "My grandson graduated from Hawvahd summa cum laude!"
  "My grandson is a warlock! He makes potions! He could turn yoah grandson into a hawwk!"
• Part 38: Arin and Danny argue about how to pronounce Nevada.
  Danny: We were like five minutes overtime arguing about Ne-VAH-dah pronunciations—-"NEH-VEH-DAH." Goddammit!!
  • "Stay tuned tomorrow for the fight over how to pronounce Colorado."
• Part 39:
  • The beginning continues Arin and Danny's Nevada debate from the previous episode.
  • Upon meeting Prince Sidon, the Grumps concoct a Running Gag of the prince repeatedly bashing his head on a rock as he dives back towards the river and floating unconscious downstream.
• Part 40: A discussion of world peace and Nicki Minaj lyrics eventually gives us the phrase "tongue-punched in the brown eye." The best and/or worst part?
  Danny: [choking on his laughter] Suzy taught me that phrase!
• Part 41:
  • Link gets battered with boulders in the Ne'ez Yohma Shrine.
    Danny: I love it when you say "Watch this", and then disaster strikes.
  • Upon arriving at Zora's Domain, the two take an instant dislike to Muzu, advisor to King Dorephan. By the end of the episode, they start to characterize the king as liking Link better, calling him 'Newzu' and wanting him to take Muzu's place in his court.
    Dan [as King Dorephan]: Son, bring this weird stingray thing outside!
    Arin as Dorephan: Newzu, dispose of Muzu, for my amuzument!
  • Now animated!
  • There's also a small Call-Back to Endless Ocean 2 in the form of King Dorephan constantly being depressed at the mere mention of Mipha, similar to how Jean-Eric would get irrationally pissed at the mention of his dead son, Mathias, who is dead. Thanks for bringing that up.
• Part 42: Through Sidon, Arin and Danny try to explain to Muzu that Mipha loved Link in explicit detail.
  Arin!Sidon: Now you understand, don't you?
  Danny!Sidon: They were fucking! Like, crazy fucking!
  Arin!Sidon: Why don't you get that? We've been hinting at that for the last hour! Gosh! Now you know who her heart belonged to, and who she made that special armor for.
  Danny!Sidon: She rode his... Hyli-dick. All fucking night.
  [Arin laughs]
  Arin!Sidon: His elven dick throughout the land, from the seas of the Zora, to the mountains of Lanayru.
  [Arin and Danny both laugh]
  Danny!Sidon: She rode that dick until all the cows and other creatures came home.
  Arin!Sidon: Now that you know, you must promise to help him save us all, Muzu.
  Danny!Sidon: For god's sake, this is the man who drained his nugs in Mipha!
  Arin!Muzu: Alright fine! I get it! Jesus, don't have to spell it out for me. I've drained my nugs once or twice in my day.
  Danny!Muzu: Obviously just into the sea though. [they both laugh] I mean, fuck, look at me. I am a nightmare.
  • But can anyone really blame Mipha for jumping his bones?
    Danny!Muzu: [staring at Link wearing the Zora Armor] You're gorgeous!
  • They hang a lampshade on Sidon's rather comfortable demeanor when talking about his sister's sex life.
    Arin!Sidon: I watched the beautiful art of love-making from afar, although taboo. I was only a child then, so I did not know at the time.
  • The Cold Open to Part 42, in which the Grumps show their appreciation for a little song called "The Government Knows (When You Masturbate)."^note As a matter of fact, no, you shouldn't click that link if you're at work.
    Dan: Mad respect to the young lady in the American flag bodysuit and the young gentleman in the corndog vest in that video, 'cause, uh, they're really just following their dreams and you can feel it.
  • Danny!Muzu angrily calls Mipha's statue a bitch, causing Arin to break down in laughter for a whole 25 seconds.
  • Arin skims his lines a little bit:
    Arin!Muzu: That tall mountain over yonder... It is called Polymus^note paw-lee-mus Mountain-
    Danny!Muzu: Ploymus.^note (the mountain's actual name)
    Arin!Muzu: Pl- Ploy-
    Danny!Muzu: Look at it! Look at the word I'm saying and then say it!
• Part 43
  • Arin begins the episode by demanding "three egg" in a high-pitched, vaguely Eastern European accent
    Dan: I don't know why you leaning face-down into my shoulder and saying that, muffled into the couch, was so funny. But here we are!
  • Arin and Danny discussing how people on Tumblr want to fuck Prince Sidon.
    Danny [As Sidon]: Don't mind me, I'm just banging Tumblr people.
    Arin: Everybody wishes!
  • When Arin screams in anger over the ice blocks, Danny notes that the tone is exactly the same as when Arin measured his penis and found out that he lost an inch.
• Part 45 is titled: "Spelling Fiasco of 2017." In brief: Arin confuses the spellings of "ewe" and "eye."
  • One of the best parts of this little exchange is the game music syncing up perfectly with Dan's Stunned Silence reaction after Arin makes his mistake.
    Arin: Heh. E-y-e? That's "ewe".
    Danny: [Beat] ...are you fucking serious?^note Complete with the music segment accompanying the beat being perfectly timed.
  • And then Dan proceeds to mock Arin mercilessly.
    Danny: You wanna try spelling "the"? "What's this word? Tuh-heeee? Tuh-heeeeeeeeee?"
    Arin: I'm sorry, I just-I got I-I got all flustered-
    Danny: (Laughing) Oh my God!
    Arin: Fightin' Waterblight Ganon and-
    Danny: I will NEVER let you live this down!
    Arin: Nooooooo! Dammit!
    Not long after
    Arin: What is this guy's deal? Like-
    Danny: DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT, YOU CAN'T SPELL "EYE".
  • Now in animated form!
• In Part 46 Arin & Danny suddenly decide Prince Sidon is gay and King Dorephan is aggressively supportive.
  [Sidon thanks Link with a cheesy little cheer]
  Arin!Dorephan: Well, that was gay. My son. I'm proud of your gayness, son. It's very progressive.
  Danny!Dorephan: My son likes to bang dudes, you got a problem with that?
  Arin!Dorephan: It's not a problem at all, I was actually hoping he'd be gay!
  Danny!Dorephan: I love him! So fuck you.
  Arin!Dorephan: [actual dialogue] Everyone is rejoicing! There is no happier place in the world. But Link... There is something I wish to ask you.
  Danny!Dorephan: Would you bang my son?
  Arin!Dorephan: I know you were into Mipha, but uh, if you could do me a solid-
  Danny!Dorephan: But she's dead now, and my son sure isn't.
  Arin!Dorephan: Uh, it's-there's-there's no other gay-there's no other gay Zoras here!
  Danny!Dorephan: It's like I always say: a living ass is better than a d-dead puss. [Arin starts cackling] That's a [Dorephan leans forward] CLASSIC ZORA SAYING!
  Arin!Dorephan: What, you haven't heard it?? [both laugh]
  • The fact that Arin as Dorephan sounds like Mr. Plinkett.
• Partway into Part 53 Arin casually murders a fox without breaking Link's stride, sending Dan into paroxysms of mirth.
  Arin: Check out this fox, he's a friend [shoots arrow] Now he's dead.
• Every instance of The Voice in Part 54.
• Danny spies a Wizzrobe in the background of Part 54 and compares it to a prancing KKK member.
  Danny: Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Jews.
• In Part 55, Danny and Arin make arrow sound effects.
  Danny: I don't know why riddling these things with arrows is the funniest thing I've ever envisioned.
  • Danny, as Zelda, telling Link something.
    Zelda: Link! You must protect the Trif...[FOOOMP! FOOOMPFOOMPFOOMP]
    Danny: Link, you're really carefree with your arrows. How about some discretion?
• Arin begins Part 60 by trying to hit the sleeping Hinox with a boulder, but it peacefully rolls to rest behind the monster's head without even disturbing his nap.
  Dan: Aww, you got him a pillow. How considerate of you.
• In Part 63, Danny asks Matt and Ryan to edit in some epic music as Link pulls the Master Sword, though both Arin and Danny think they put in something stupid. It turns out that Matt and Ryan edited in a midi version of All Star, by Smash Mouth.
• Part 64: Arin's remark that he doesn't like M&M's causes Dan to refer to him as "Noted Internet Douchebag Arin Hanson"
  Arin: I want that on my tombstone, "Noted Internet Douchebag".
• Part 66: The Grumps meet Tanko the Goron.
  Danny as Tanko: I only have one nipple. I don't like to talk about it. Thanks for bringing it up!
  Arin as Link: I d- I didn't bring it up...
  Arin as Tanko: MOOOM! This guy's harassing me!
  Danny as Tanko: About the mono-nip!
  Arin as Tanko's mother: Don't let him harass you about the mono-nip, it's genetic!
  Arin as Tanko: You just told him you have a mono-nip too!
• Part 68: Danny's righteous anger at the "Black Science Man" meme (which ascribes the quote "People don't think the universe be like it is, but it do" to Neil deGrasse Tyson).^note This is actually based on a statement by baseball player Oscar Gamble. Judging by Arin's enjoyment of his reaction, this may not be the first time the subject has come up.
  Arin: He didn't say that?!
  Danny: Yeah. Hard to believe.
• In Part 73, Arin walks up to Bladon the Goron, pronounces his name as "BLADD-on", and walks off laughing his ass off.
  Danny: I believe it's "BLAY-don", but... [Arin continues to laugh] it's fine...
• "Thank you for your service."
• "The Moon Zelda"
• The bizarre opening to Part 76
  Dan: What time in a relationship do you think is the right time to introduce the weird shit?
  Arin: Uhh... I just feel like right away is...
  Dan: Really?
  Arin: I mean... y'know it's like, a relationship is built on trust and—
  Dan: And urinating on each other?
  Arin: Uhhh yeah, I mean it's like... Date Two.
  Dan: Date Two! You'd pee on a girl on Date Two?
  Arin: Well, I wouldn't pee on a girl, period.
  Dan: ...Huh. Me neither then. [long pause] Anyway, Zelda... [they both crack up]
• Part 79: Arin receives a special weapon to fight Ganon's final form... then in typical Arin fashion, wastes four minutes doing zero damage and whining about how the weapon isn't working only to realize he forgot to equip it. Even the usually chill Danny was unforgiving.
  Dan: You dumb bastard!
  Arin: I wasn't using the right bow.
  Dan: Yeah, no shit!
  • Earlier in the episode:
    Arin: That's not Ganon...
    Danny: No?
    Arin: He's got a silly beard and everything, but—
    [Boss Subtitles appear]
    Arin: Oh.
  • The long-awaited return of a certain princess:
    Arin!Zelda: What's up, bitches?
    Danny!Zelda: I'm the hottest loogie of all time!
    • Including Overly Long Gag about Link drawing a blank about who she is. They stretch it into the credits...
• Go Fukuma
• "Hey, Arin. How does Darude's Sandstorm go again?" Now beautifully remixed here.
  • One of the top comments for the remix video happens to be by none other than NintendoCapriSun.
    NCS: Yup.
    • And animated!!
• Arin and Danny's fascination with a certain piece of dialogue from the movie Whore ("Why don't you stick it up your own asshole?" "Would if I could, bitch!") reaches its peak when they start saying it faster and faster, eventually devolving to single-syllable yelping noises, which they realize sounds like Link's Voice Grunting. They then joke that that is how Link's voice acting was created, and that if you slow it down...
  Danny as Link: Would if I could, bitch!

Zelda's Adventure

• Right off the bat, the game plays a demo, much to Danny's dismay.
  Arin: Hey, welcome to the black screen.
  Danny: Well, this is fucki— (the game's demo pops up) (Arin: No no no) Oh god. Ohh, Is that what it looks like? (Arin: No no no no no. Spoilers. Spoilers.) Oh no. That was horrible-looking.
• The name Arin chooses: Qoxonmafase^note Cocks on my face
• When Arin hits the "Done" button, it makes a pained groan:
  Arin: (imitates the noise)
  Danny: Oh my god. You stabbed the name generator!
• Most of the first episode is spent dying over and over due to Arin being unable to find a weapon. When he finally cracks and asks Dan to look up a walkthrough. As he looks it up, Arin almost immediately finds a weapon. Turns out he never went east from the starting screen, where the sword is located.
• According to Arin, the enemies explode into popcorn when you kill them.
• When Danny asks Arin what he'd name the enemies, he runs into some bad luck:
  Arin: (goes down a screen) Um. Let's see. (screen scrolls) Uhh, These guys right here. (the screen loads, showing nothing) Umm. Well, there's nobody here. (goes down another screen) Uhh, these guys down here...
  Danny: Uhh huh.
  Arin: Uhh (screen scrolls) I would call— (screen loads revealing nothing again) Aw, fuck.
  Danny: (snickers) Fuck.
  Arin: These guys over here. (goes over a screen) I would call them... (screen scrolls and loads, revealing nothing once again) God fucking damnit!
• The mundane names that Arin assigns the enemies.
  • Peahats = Larrys
  • Rolling stone heads = Carls
  • Moblins = Frank Juniors
  • Leevers = Stevens
  • Keese = Dylans/Wax Candles^note In Part 3, Arin forgets that he called them Dylans.
• Arin and Danny doing impressions after the latter notes that the "Carl" enemies look like musty grey Meatwads.
• At one point, Arin refers to Zelda's wand as a piss stick and continues to call it that for the rest of the playthrough.
• As Part 2 is ending, Arin gets killed by Keese:
  "Noooo! The Dylan got me!"
• By Part 3, Danny is already fed up with the game's quality, with Arin defending it (though mockingly). As Arin struggles to find something to praise the game:
  Dan: (mockingly) "How dare you? 4 or 5 people worked reasonably hard on this!"
• The whole level/boss fight against Lort.
  • It already starts funny when Lort warns Zelda to not enter his lair, in a deep raspy voice that sounds like he has a Jamaican accent:
    Lort: "DO NOHT COM EEN HEAAH!!!"
  • Whenever Lort defeats Zelda, they keep saying his name (as if he was a big deal) to complain about him:
    Arin: Looooort!!
    Dan: Looort! (sigh) Lort have mercy!
    Arin: DAMMIT LORT!
    Dan: (laughs)
    Arin: Fucking Lort!
  • During the fight itself:
    Arin: He does that weird shit where he backs up into me!
    Dan: Hm. That's hot!
  • Arin keeps losing against Lort, despite Dan guiding him with a walkthrough. This whole time, he had been using the jade ring to attack him. However, after several losses...
    Dan: "To defeat Lort, simply hit him 10 times with Zelda's wand".
    Arin: Really?
    Dan: "Be sure not to use the jade ring, it does almost no damage..." (laughs)
    Arin: SON OF A BITCH!!! I told you to look it up, and you didn't look it up!
    Dan: (laughs) I diiid!
    Arin: I've been wasting my fucking Rupees and my time and my life...
    Dan: (keeps on laughing)
    Arin: I got nothing anymore!!
    Dan: (laughs)
    Arin: I'm fucking selling crack on the street through trying to beat Lort with a green ring, dude!!
    Dan: (keeps on laughing)
    Arin: Jesus Christ! All I got to do is this, all I got to do is this...
    Dan: Oh my goood... oh my goood... I'm in love with this game now.
    Arin: ... Fucking Lort.
  • Danish viewers get an extra chuckle. "Lort" means "Shit" in Danish.
• Arin going off on a merchant:
  Merchant: That was a wise purchase, young princess.
  Arin: I DON'T CARE! I DON'T CARE! SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH! YOU LIVE IN A SHACK!
  Danny: Okay. That's— Shack is pretty generous.
• As he's passing through screens to get back to an NPC, another NPC starts talking to him:
  Arin: No! No! No! Nooo! You do not get screen time!
• Their reactions to Findo, the strange mushroom creature that sounds like it's speaking from the bottom of a well.
• "Oh, a town? Yay, I'll hear more people talking through fucking tubas."
• Immediately after Danny says how peaceful it is in the town, Arin heads one screen over and comes across "The Fucking' Kraken"^note an octorok, which they're both frightened by.
• Danny's reaction to the Green Zolas:
  "Oh god! They're hideous!"
• Upon encountering a fairy for the first time:
  Arin: Awesome!
  Danny: Oh, man, it looks so good. It's like a potato in a wig.
  Arin: Yeahhhh! With wings coming out of its head! Its big Dumbo ears flying around... in the pond...
  Danny: This game is like someone having like a vague nightmare about Zelda.
  Arin: (snickers) It really is.
• The entirety of their encounter with the Mimic Moles:
  Danny: Oh come on! You didn't—This walkthrough didn't mention construction workers that rise out of the ground.
  [....]
  Arin: Are they zipping in and out of reality? Is this the fucking Matrix? What the hell's going on?
• When inside the Shrine of Illusion, Dan and Arin are getting very frustrated at the game's tedious and non-intuitive nature. They are reading a guy's walkthrough to make it easier. After defeating some enemies, and expecting to finish the level in a "pretty straightforward" way, they stumble into a very weird character... their reaction is priceless.
  Arin: Just... [takes breath] try to breathe.
  Dan: Yep.
  Arin: He said after this it's pretty straightforward.
  [Immediately after he says this, Zelda arrives in a room where a strange werewolf-like creature in a jester costume - called Pasquinade by the way - spins around.]
  Dan: Woah, woah!
  Arin: What the FUCK!
  Pasquinade: Look to your heart. Look to your dreams. You'll find that nothing is what it seems. [Evil Laugh]
  [Pasquinade disappears in sparkles]
  Dan Uh, hum.
  Arin: Uh.
  Dan: Humm.
  Arin: Uhhh.
  Dan: O... kay.
  Arin: Hum.
  Dan: Well...
  Arin: Huh.
  Dan: Neat.
  Arin: Uh.
  Dan: Neat great!
  Arin: Uh. Uh.
  Dan: (chuckles)
  Arin: Uhh I don't know...
  Dan: Yeah, I don't know, I don't know.
  Arin: I'm a little, hum...
• Arin gets frustrated while Dan reads the walkthrough.
  Arin: How the fuck am I supposed to duck? The fuck, Dan?
  Dan: I dunno. Stop yelling at me. (laugh)
  Arin: I'm not yelling at you! I'm yelling with you!

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

• The episode opens with Arin openly insulting the graphics of the game as seen on the menu. Danny, in a desperate attempt to stop the potential hate comments, insists that they start the episode over (complete with super-fast intro), at which point Arin immediately jumps right back into it.
• In the grand tradition of giving Link ridiculous names whenever possible, the Grumps decide on the name Spuunt.
• Once they reset for the first time, Tatl realizes that they now have the ocarina and the mask salesman can return them to normal. She asks if the player flat-out forgot about that part...
  Arin: Shut the fuck up. Would you shut the fu- SHUT THE FUCK UP!
  Danny!Tatl: Oooookay.
  Arin: I did forget, though, so thanks for reminding me. But stop making me look like an idiot.
• Almost every time they enter an area and get an establishing shot with the moon, Dan audibly recoils in distress.
• Part 7 has them playing up Kotake's weirdness into full on crazy.
• Arin angrily asks Dan, "Have you ever watched an episode of Game Grumps?" The pair both agree that they haven't. But the funniest part is:
  Dan: I lost interest after Jon left the show.
• Dan scolding Arin for lying to the monkey:
  Danny: You even told the monkey you understood! (Arin giggles) He specifically asked you if you got everything!
  Arin: You lied to him!
  Danny: You absolutely lied to his little monkey face!
  Arin: Don't call it a little monkey face, that makes me feel really bad!
• After defeating Odolwa, Dan accidentally calls Tatl "t.a.T.u", queue both Dan and Arin bursting into a rendition of "All The Things She Said" just before the credits.
• After returning the Deku Princess, this exchange:

  Deku Princess: Oh, Mr. Monkey, I am truly sorry. Father does such rash things when he's worried about me.

  Danny!Monkey: Shit, bitch, it ain't no thing!

• In the climax of Part 18, Dan and Arin introduce a new character named "Spoiler Owl", who acts like a normal information-giving owl only to spoil movie twists. The climax of the joke comes when Arin, in-character as Spoiler Owl, spoils about how Snape kills Dumbledore...only to end up spoiling Dan for real because Dan hadn't watched/read any of the Harry Potter movies/books. Cue Arin desperately backpedalling by claiming that it's just a meme and didn't actually happen, which Dan doesn't believe for a second.
  Dan: I chose a Citizen Kane spoiler because that movie's seventy years old.
  Arin: Harry Potter's been out for like twenty years!
  Dan: It has not.
  Arin: It's been out for long! *both start cracking up at Arin's momentary loss for words* (The first Harry Potter book came out in 1997, so technically, 21 years ago. The first Harry Potter film came out in 2001, 17 years ago.)
  
• Dan & Arin's jokes about the Gorons' prominent man-boobs comes to a head near the end of Part 22:
  Arin: "The lullaby blankets listeners in calm while making eyelids grow heavy." And nipples grow large.
  Dan: [imitating Wimp Lo] My nipples look like milk duds!
  Arin: [in similar voice] Hoo I've got 30 nipples! And only five of them lactate!
  Dan, laughing his ass off: That's fu— What is that from?
  Arin: Looks like you'll have to find out which one!
  Dan: What are you talking about?
  [later]
  Dan: But which nipples—alright, seeya.
  Arin: Which one is lactating? Use your mouth to find out! Ooowoo!
• In part 23, immediately as the episode starts, Arin continues the Goron nipple joke from the previous episode.
  Airin: Welcome back to Game Grump!
  Dan: Welcome!
  Arin: The only show where you can guess which of my 30 nipples is- [Dan cuts him off]
  Dan: Alright, Arin. I was kinda hoping we'd move past this!
  Arin: I'm sorry.
  Dan: Everyone else has had 24 hours to refresh, but it's been 6 seconds for me!
• "I am warning you with peace and love!"
• Arin starts part 29 explaining that Dan's mouth is full (probably of peanut butter) and he has asked Arin to talk instead, for which Arin demands payment.
  Arin: Let's just say, uh, your mouth is gonna be full again! [evil chuckle]
  Dan: Oh, jeez, uh, suddenly I feel I'm okay to talk.
• In Part 34 Dan doesn't feel Arin is giving Flat a distinctive enough voice...
• Then immediately after that, whilst reading the inscription on Flat's grave:
  Arin: "The thousand years of raindrops summoned by my song are my tears. The thunder that strikes the earth is my anger." Here's some fuckin' dumbass notes for your controller.
• Arin's tantrum over trying to make Dampe move to a certain spot to dig, especially Dan's squeaky laughter in the background.
• We can't quite tell what Danny says six and a half minutes into Part 37, but our best guess is that it begins with "F" and rhymes with "baguette".
  Dan: Seriously, Matt, Ryan...bleep that out, 'cause that shit is a career-ender.
• Arin getting his ass kicked by a clam, just like in the Water Temple.
  • Arin has a Lame Pun Reaction to Danny's clam pun.
    Danny: It's like he's in the Ku Klux Klam!
    Arin: I will actually stab you.
• In Part 40, Arin tries to jump into a tank as Zora Link to get an egg, only for the skeleton fish to swarm him and take a big chunk of HP. So he turns back into Link to drop a bomb into the water... then the bomb explodes and throws him back into the tank, where he then gets attacked by the fish. Twice.

  Danny: (giggling) You blew yourself out of and into the water! On two separate occasions!

  Arin: My bad.

• Danny commenting he thought Link was trying to get Zora eggs because they are a delicacy and Link wants to eat them.
• In episode 44, Arin makes a snipe at the Gerudo Pirates, calling them "The Purples". He actually loses it over this. Dan is incredulous.
  Danny: Wow. Arin, I've never seen you knock yourself out with a non-joke like that.
• In episode 46, Dan and Arin both talk about how they enjoy the song Old 45's by Chromeo, but neither can remember how it goes. Arin tries to sing it anyway.
  Arin: [singing] 'Put on- Put a record on, and put it in old fort-y-fiiiiives...' [speaking normally] Some shit like that, I don't know.
  Dan: That sounds closer to fuckin' Get Schwifty from Rick and Morty, than it does... the Chromeo song.
  Arin: [talking over Dan] 'Puuut a record on, puuut a record on, [unintelligible mumbling]- ollld forty-fiiives...'^note 'Old 45's' does not actually contain any variation of the lyric 'put a record on'.
• Arin skips over the flavour text describing the skullfish while Dan is in the middle of reading it, only getting as far as "once it bites..." Every time thereafter Arin runs into a skullfish expect Dan will warn him that "Once it bites!" Even after Arin goes back and reads the flavour text to try and shut him up.
• This exchange in Part 48:
  Danny: Boy, they really went off-script.
  Arin: Yeah. All the things that make a Zelda game a Zelda game. But do they truly make a Zelda game-?
  Danny: Arin, get off your soapbox for a goddamn second.
• When Arin starts complaining because he lost the horse race, Dan suggests they go to the bank to get more rupees. Arin complains endlessly about how much longer this will take, cue him warping there in like no time at all.
  Danny: Arin, you've overreacting. Now go to the bank. (giggles)
• In Part 53 Arin mentions how the Grumps have been working out and uh... just hear it for yourself...
• Also from Part 53, after obtaining the shield that reflects light, Dan is unnerved by the nightmare face on the shield, and wonders why nothing in this game can just have a normal looking face. And, then another nightmare-ish face pops up just seconds later.
• An exchange here in part 57 starts out touching and turns dark real quick.
  Arin: I want them to play this at my funeral!
  Dan: Dude, I will play an Elegy of Emptiness at your funeral. I'll feel so sad.
  Arin: Aw, you'll be empty at my funeral?
  Dan: Of course!
  Arin: Empty enough to play an elegy?
  Dan: My wallet will be empty 'cuz we won't be doing Game Grumps anymore. [they both laugh]
• in Part 61 Dan plays a voicemail from Granny Sexbang calling him her "favourite guy" and Arin tries to make him feel bad about it.
  Arin: You think she says that to everybody?
  Dan: No. Nope. I really do believe I'm her favourite guy.
  Arin: Huh. Pretty narcissistic of you, huh?
  Dan: Well, no, cuz she's my favourite lady!
  Arin: Well I guess your mom would feel pretty bad about hearing that huh?
  Dan: Arin, what the fuck is your objective here? Like, what are you trying to accomplish? ...Is this the betrayal?? [Arin bursts out laughing]
• Episode 62:
  • Danny brings up "Diddle Kid" Animated. Both of them spend much of the episode saying "You've been diddled!" or "I like to diddle!"
  • Arin goes through an ordeal to find a chest.
    Arin: I hope this is a key. Please be a key. [it's a stray fairy] I will fucking murder you in your sleep.
• In Part 64, Dan laments that there's two crows outside mating. Arin thinks it's nice as it means they're producing children.
• In Part 68, they express amusement over an NPC's "Minecraft dog". Later on, while wearing the Deku Shrub mask, it looks as if Link accidentally sucked his fairy into one of the music horns. After Dan asks about this, Arin remarks, "Sometimes you gotta eat!"
• In Part 76 they discuss machines that play tunes when a dying patient flatlines, and Dan jokes that'd suggest "Ding-Dong, The Witch Is Dead".
• Upon finding the Sun's Mask.
  Arin: "You'd think it would be bigger than that."
• In Part 80, the Giants are introduced, Frank, Bill, Frank and other Frank.
• A bit of bad (or good, depending on your view) timing during the end credits: as they are discussing the game, Dan proclaims "You saved everyone!"... while the credits sequence is showing the Deku Butler crying over his dead son.
• Arin whoops Majora so hard as Fierce Deity, losing zero hearts that he reloads the save state. He fights him as regular Link and still pretty easily wins, though it's more satisfying.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

• The wacky name this time? "Spoompls".

  Dan: Spoom please!

• Dan starts the series off with "That's Arin Hanson, and I'm King Shit of Fuck Mountain Dan Avidan!"
• Dan narrating two Loftwings flying in the opening scene:

  Dan: "Mind if I fly with you?" "Fuck off, Carl!" (Arin starts laughing)

• The fact that Arin hates this game but Dan's trying to give it a chance, yet Dan quickly gets irritated with how much Fi intrudes on gameplay.
  • Dan murders sarcasm, snarking to Fi about the (squirrel, tree, monstrosity) Kikwi being unable to be mistaken for Zelda.
    Dan: Is that right? You're sure that thing's NOT my girlfriend?
• In Part 2, Spoompls meets with Zelda and Headmaster Gaepora. As usual, the whole entire first meeting with Zelda is entertaining, but its Zelda's father who steals the show this time. When voicing him, Dan often has Gaepora throw in a comment about his body.

  Dan!Gaepora: Its encouraging to see you up so early- GOD, I'M BLOATED, given your capacity for sleep.

  Dan!Gaepora: If you win today's ceremonial race- WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH MY EYEBROWS!?

  Dan!Gaepora: But you've known him since you were little. Little like my head! Do you think my head is too small for my body?

  • Things only get better when Gaepora starts to talk about Link's connection with his loftwing.
    Dan!Gaepora: The bird that came to him was a Crimson Loftwing
    Arin!Gaepora: The stupidest of the Loftwings!
    Dan!Gaepora: It pooped out of its cloaca! Birds have a cloaca! It was a breed so rare we thought it had vanished from the line. We couldn't find its cloaca!
    Arin!Gaepora: We thought it was exterminated because of how stupid it was!

    Dan!Gaepora: They were meant for each other. Much like you and he are not! And judging by how jealous you were that day, I'd say the friendship he shared with his bird didn't go unnoticed by you, my dear.
    Arin!Zelda: BUT WHAT IF HE WANTS TO FUCK THE BIRD!?
    Dan!Gaepora: We all want to fuck the bird!
    Dan!Spoompls: I wanna fuck the bird! [Arin laughs]
    Arin!Spoompls: Just thinking about that cloaca!
• On the subject of wacky names, Dan decides that one of the NPCs is named "The Great Genginee."
• In Part 5, Zelda starts hearing a voice calling out to her. Arin and Dan decide it was talking about a certain crab, while also poking fun at themselves.

  Arin!Zelda: I heard this voice a few moments ago. Did you hear it too? It was like...

  Dan: [Dan cuts in] LETS GET READY TO RUMMBLEEEEEE!

  Arin!Zelda: It was talking about crabs.

  Dan: Awwwww yay! Nice call back!

  Arin: Fuck yer father! Fuck yer father!

  Arin!Zelda: Its been happening a lot lately...Its the strangest feeling.

  Dan!Zelda: It feels like something two idiots would have said two years ago, but its like, kinda still sticking with me for some reason.

• Groose's line: "No way was I gonna let some scrawny clown snatch that prize away from me". The Grumps' takeaway: "Scrawny clown snatch".
• In part 6, Arin and Dan continue their discussion about scrawny clown snatch as a wifi name. Arin talks about how he would drop hints to his neighbors while Dan decides he will create two wifi sources. One named "Dan's Wifi", and "Scrawny Clown Snatch", then frame his neighbor.

  Arin: I heard Phoebe's got "Scrawny Clown Snatch" over there! Watch out for her!

  • When Arin has to jump off the statue and land on a circle using the sailcloth, he insists "You don't even need to open it, it does it automatically for you"... and THUD. Dan then starts laughing uncontrollably. Then Arin does it again.
• Arin running straight into a Deku Baba, which knocks him off the path. Queue Dan asking Matt and Ryan to replay it in slow-motion with fitting music.
• "Footgroose."
• When reading Ghirahim's dialogue, Dan decides Ghirahim kissed Link when he got his face really close, complete with a "Mwah!"
• Part 20 has Arin find out about Gratitude Crystals.
  Arin: What's in it for me?
  Dan: You will receive five Gratitude Crystals.
  Arin: ...Are you fucking serious?
  Dan: (Laughing) Yeah.
  Arin: That sounds like a parody.
  Dan: (Laughs)
  Arin: That sounds like what Family Guy would do if they made, like, a made-up video game achievement.
  Dan: Yeah.
• Part 24, Dan is horrified at Arin killing some harmless ladybirds.
  • From the same episode, Arin trying to kill some monsters, only to hold the bomb for too long, it explodes, knocks him into the lava and kills him instantly.
• Arin has an... interesting way of spelling "key".
  KEY! Key-ee-ee! Key!
• In Part 26, Dan is talking about how earlier that day he got cussed out while driving.
  Arin: Wait, you don't have your car right now.
  Dan: Uh, no. I was, uh...lying.
  • Arin bursts out laughing, and Dan admits it happened weeks ago and he was just Garnishing the Story.
• Part 28 has this gem:
  Danny: (as a whiny Link) That's my girlfriend! Sometimes, we lay in bed, and I put on Caribbean Blue by Enya, and I drop some rose petals around her and put essential oils gently on her neck, and then I have crazy jackhammer sex with her!
  • This leads into Danny asking Arin if he knows the song Caribbean Blue (characterizing Enya as "similar to Hayley Westenra", and "the kind of shit you hear in a store that sells crystals"). Arin spends most of the rest of the episode aggressively singing the chorus of Adiemus, trying to remember what it's called and if Enya wrote it (she did not).
• Arin forgetting Impa's name and making guesses that gradually go further and further away from the right answer until Dan looks it up.
• Dan accidentally turning Mr. Skyloft into Boomhauer while voicing him.
• In Part 46, Dan and Arin naming The Imprisoned "Stompy Carl".
• Arin and Ross arguing on-stream about Kaijus while ignoring a giant statue descending from above that crushes Link.
• Part 4 of the livestreams finishes with Link and Zelda's reunion, and the Exposition Dump that follows. Watch here in all its glory.
  • Shortly after Zelda seals herself away, the Grumps make this exchange:
  Arin: Dude, we gotta stick a syringe in there.
  Danny: I was just gonna say! We make dinosaurs out of her!

Beefed-Up Zelda

• While playing the official modhack of the first Zelda game that Nintendo made available to Nintendo Switch online subscribers, Dan blazes his way through the first two dungeons. As he kills one Goriya, the others explode, each one containing a fairy.
  Danny: Ladies, please!
• Danny makes it all the way to Gohma, only to realize that he doesn't have the bow.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD

• The name for Link this time around? Spantzz.
  • Even worse, in this game they can name Epona. So they give her the name Ñæœùßò.
• Danny's interpretation of Rusl is a flat-earther.
• Arin's bewilderment that Link's treehouse is designed in such a way that he literally has to climb a ladder every morning just to look out the window.

  Arin: (laughs) So, when - so when somebody - okay, so like, literally the guy shows up, the kids show up and they're like, "Hey Link!" and I'm literally hanging out on the bottom floor and I could either walk out the front door and say hi, or climb two ladders-

  Danny: Yeah, it's your incredibly inconvenient peephole.

• The Grumps giving Colin a very deep, slow voice and repeatedly pronouncing it as "Co-lin".
• The first time they meet Jaggle in part 2, Dan and Arin spend a good couple minutes roasting him while roleplaying as his future wife describing his ugly appearance that she inexplicably finds attractive.
• Arin and Danny herding goats and singing a version of "White and Nerdy" chock full of goat puns.
• When Ilia yells at Link for injuring Epona, Arin gives her a voice like Gollum and belches like Gollum during her dialogue.
• Arin and Dany beatboxing to...Spantzzz crawling through a hole.
• Link being more upset that he got water in his ears than Ilia and Colin getting kidnapped.
• Dan's genuine shock when Link turns into a wolf.
• Arin and Dany arguing over the scene in American Pie where Elizabeth Shannen is filmed without her knowledge, with Arin complaining about it being gross and Danny trying to defend it.
• Dan crushing on Zelda again:

  Danny!Zelda: That's right, I'm a fuckin' hot-ass brunette in this one!

• In Part 8, Arin and Danny somehow managing to miss the dialogue that explicitly tells you the sword you need is inside the house, and think if they run up to Rusl and scare him, he'll drop the sword.

  Danny: Maybe he drops the sword if you scare him.
  Arin: He has the sword?
  Danny: I don't know.

• Wolf!Link getting annoyed with Midna's antics. "If I had a thumb and a gun, I'd kill her."
• Danny opening Part 14 with a cheerful, "What's up, cucks?" before he and Arin break down in laughter.
• When Arin finds the Oocca, Dan voices it saying "I'll suck your dick!" and they both break down in laughter. It quickly becomes a Running Gag spanning multiple series.
• The fact that the Grumps have been provided with a "Grump-proof" guide to Twilight Princess is both hilarious and somewhat demeaning.
• The Running Gag of Danny's attraction to Midna comes to a head in part 32, when he offers this assessment:
  Danny: Dude, I...I find Midna so attractive, and yet also she's kinda like a hamster. Y'know what I mean? Which I would not be attracted to, you bastards looking for a reason that I'm a furry.
  Arin: Well she's got that fucking butt, dude, that butt doesn't quit!
  Danny: Yeah, it really doesn't. It's fully employed.
• Danny criticizes Arin for skipping the Shield Bash technique since he doesn't have a shield on him, before admitting that if the Hero's Shade was teaching something that needed a shield, it would be a waste of everyone's time since Arin will never use it.
• Arin has one of his trademark breakdowns during the Escort Mission in Part 37, the highlight of which has to be Danny laughing unstoppably as the game over screen shows the wagon burning to cinders with Telma, Ilia, and Prince Ralis inside, dead. Arin, on the other hand, is actually horrified at the sight.
  Arin: OH, MY GOD! (...) They're dead! They didn't jump ship? They just let themselves burn inside?
  • Arin's attempts to Z-target and hit the bird that keeps dropping bombs and scaring the horses is met with continual failure, which leads to this exchange:
  Danny: Can't you lock onto him?
  Arin: I-I-I RIGHT??!! EXACTLY!! MAN THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!!
  • After finally completing the mission, Arin takes a moment to engage a little quick self-deprecation when Renado enters the room during the cutscene.
  Arin: (as Renado) Hey, what took you so long?
• In Part 49, there's a moment where Link ends up dying in quicksand, while in wolf form. The Grumps become amused by Midna just hovering above, watching Link sink.
  Danny: "Thanks for going down with the ship!"
  Arin: "Well, would you?"
• In part 57, Arin struggles with a howl for a bit, then gets it.
  Danny: Yeah, all you had to do was the pattern.
  Arin: Dan. I could kill you. I have that power. I am much stronger than you.
  Danny: Well, I have a gun. Didn't tell you about it, because I knew it would come to this someday.
  • Later, Danny plays a drum beat from a song they were talking about at the start of the episode, but it's copyrighted music so Ben dubs over it with Arin imitating the beat to avoid a strike.
    Danny: YouTube fuckin' [ROCKS].... Cut that out too, Ben.
• In Part 73 at 17:34, we have a drunk Midna.
  • From the beginning of that episode:
    Danny: I've been told by an experienced Toilet Princess player that there should only be five more episodes of this if we're going at our current pace and doing like 45 minute episodes.
    Arin: (doing a Bill Clinton impression) I don't believe that.
    Danny: Well that's what he said, and he's an experienced gamer. So, if it goes to six or seven episodes remaining, you know officially you suck.
• Danny's... appreciative reaction to Midna's true form.
  Danny: OEWW MY GAAHD!
  Midna: What? Say something!
  Danny: Oh, I'll say a lot of things!

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

• At first, they were going to name Link "Splimpf", but Arin thinks they used it before (possibly thinking of Spiarmf) before settling on Squackle, who Dan says is a direct descendent of Spoompls.
• After Tarin reveals he knows Squackle's name, he says it's on the back of his shield, and Dan say's it's also on his underwear. When Link asks how he knows what his underwear, Tarin tells him to leave his house.
• When an Owl appears, they do a Call-Back to Spoiler Owl.
• Arin points out that Buzzy Beetles, Spinys and Amps appear in the first cave, just before seeing actual Goombas.
• They lampshade that the recurring owl is too heavy for his wings and make him fart and/or burp whenever he's taking off or landing.
• Arin visited his parents' farm and dealt with a very territorial Carpenter Bee that kept flying into his arm.
  Danny: But you like bees. Did you consider it a bee-trayal?
• After seeing more Mario Bros. enemies, Shy Guys, Boos, Piranha Plants, and Chain Chomps, they call episode 3 "Legend of Mario: Link's Awakening", while having the thumbnail show Link with Mario's face and a warp pipe instead of the giant Wind Fish egg.
• Arin finally convinces Dan to steal an item from the shop... and then neither of them can figure out how to do it without getting caught.
• After Squackle saves Marin again, Marin is implied to be confessing her feelings for Squackle, before Tarin interrupts, with Danny explicitly saying:
  Danny(as Tarin): I've come to C-block you!
  • Arin and Danny later lampshade it with the owl saying that he'd been C-blocked.
• Later in part 16, Arin and then Dan reference the Mickey Mousecapade one-off.
• They then mention that "Peahat" is a funny name.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

• In the opening episode:
  • They lampshade that they have their Link act wacky after Zelda says she trusts him.
  • Dan offers to voice Link.
  • "Alright. Time to die."
  • Arin points out that the shrines look like someone bent over and spreading their buttcheeks. He then proceeds to make this comment on every shrine.
  • After meeting Rauru, Arin falls to his death 15 seconds later.
  • They make another running gag late in the episode that various items "have sucked X years from your life."
• Arin begins episode 2 by reading a Ranger Construct's dialogue in his Vector voice, which quickly becomes unintelligible as he reads with his mouth full. Dan immediately breaks him.
  Dan: Arin! Don't chew! Some people have mesothelioma.
• In Episode 3:
  • They joke that each time Rauru disappears, he says "Byeee!" or he does an "Irish goodbye".
  • While building a flying machine, Dan calls it a hovercraft and then "H.P. Hovercraft".
• In Episode 4:
  • Arin, who thought that the child Purah was super cute in Breath of the Wild, falls in love with the now adult Purah.
  • Arin builds a car. He has no way to steer it, so it drives for 10 seconds and crashes into some rocks.
• In Episode 5:
  • All of their antics with the "bird car".
    • After successfully launching it off a cliff, Arin starts singing "Escape from the City" from Sonic Adventure 2.
      Arin: Here we go! Oh yeeeeaaah!
      Dan: Oh my God, it's working, you genius!
      Arin: Danger is lurking behind every turn, trust your feelings, got to live and [the bird car runs out of power and starts crashing]... oh, shit!
  • When visiting Purah, Dan misreads an object identifier.
    Dan: I am losing my mind. That said "Tree Branch", but I thought it said "Team Bitch." I'm like, what kind, what am I joining?
    Arin: Memberships are available.
    Dan: (as Robbie) Looks like someone's here looking for Team Bitch!
  • When Purah takes their Purah pad, they joke that she has to close a lot of Pornhub tabs, saying that it "Started pretty mild, but then you went on a journey!" And then wondering how "so many people can get stuck in washing machines.", before saying, apropos of nothing, that she has some laundry to do. They then talk about a lot of laundry having been done recently...
  • Arin laments at the end of the episode that, now that he has the glider, he has no need for the bird car.
• In Episode 6, they are both tired and loopy, so we get some gems:
  • Arin brings up a tweet that causes him to laugh like crazy about a realistic King reacting to people asking to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
  • Arin improvises that he feels dumb after screwing up a balloon puzzle and hopes Dan isn't getting annoyed to "Tom's Diner", with Dan singing along.
  • Arin helps a girl fix up a cart, but makes it very clear he's Only in It for the Money.
    • They say to make out the check in his name: Diarrhea Jones.
  • When Impa asks to have her hot air balloon fixed, Arin remarks that all the parts are right there and calls her a "fucking idiot" before lighting the kindling and the balloon promptly flying off with no one in it, causing them to laugh.
    Dan: My favorite part was when you called her a "fucking idiot" and launched it without her.
• In Episode 7:
  • They joke that Rauru starts cropping grass or chewing on a tin can due to him looking like a goat.
  • Arin tries to steal Impa's hot air balloon, but while trying to attach a fan to it mid-air, Arin falls out of the balloon.
• In Episode 8: which funnily enough was released on Dan's 10th anniversary with Game Grumps, was summed up in the comments as "one of the most 'Game Grumps' episodes in a long time".
  • Arin spent the first 30 minutes wandering around a canyon, trying to get out of it while complaining about the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. He also didn't notice a steering mechanism for his first car or a second wheel when he finds one attached to a wheel.
  • Arin talks about eating at Nobu and how expensive they are and as Dan says:
    Dan: They call it "Nobu", because when I got the check, I turned to my wife and was like "No, boo! What have we done?".(Arin and Dan laugh)
    Arin: It's definitely one of those places where when you get the check you're like "(Homer scream)".
  • After Dan complains about nothing happening so far in the first 26 minutes of the episode, and pointing out the same complaints about the MCU, Arin says that at least they didn't spend 20 million and hire 16 writers. They then talk about a writer coming up with their dialogue: "What if Arin talked about shitting for the next 10 minutes?" With the other writers praising him for being on brand and doing good character work.
  • The last 15 minutes are struggling to complete a shrine after having run out of arrows. As they sum it up:
    Arin: I shit on everyone's favorite movies. Made a point that made no sense.
    Dan: Then sucked!
    Arin: And then wasted everyone's time for fuckin' 15 minutes. What a landmark episode this was.
    Dan: It was one of my favorites to be honest. It had a little bit of everything.
• In Episode 9:
  • When trying to defeat an Ice Like, Arin attaches a bomb to an arrow, but gets way too close and blows himself up.
  • Arin tries to get a shrine crystal out of a hole using rockets, but when he activates them, he accidentally knocks the whole assembly over and it flies straight into a wall instead.
  • Arin has a good idea of throwing a wing down from the lip of the hole and then attaching the crystal and rewinding the wing to get the crystal out. ...However, he rewinds the crystal and moves about ten feet away to his previous failed attempt.
  • After they get the crystal out, they lament that the first 27 minutes of the episode were them trying to get the crystal out (though only 20 of it actually was trying to get the crystal out).
    • They have other characters throughout the rest of the episode (and the shrine itself) sound surprised it took them 27 minutes to get it.
  • After having so much trouble earlier in the episode, Arin manages to take the easy way to Rito village and drop right in on a cutscene, skipping several sequences.
• In Episode 10:
  • They joke that Harth is a conspiracy theorist and that he's obsessed with his beautiful hair.
  • When Harth says that Hebra South Summit Cave is northeast from there, they say the Rito called it that as a joke.
  • Arin brags about having cold pants, but Dan compares it, while actually naming the Trope Namer, that "The Goggles Do Nothing" when the Ice Keese freeze Link.
  • Arin lighting a fire in a cave and wondering why there isn't enough updraft, right after picking up a Hylian Pine Cone set right next to the fire with the item description telling him to throw it into a fire to cause one. He gives up and starts climbing.

• Episode 11:
  • The episode begins with the return of Terry Tree-head.
  • When fighting some Bokoblins on a tower, Arin suddenly notices he's got only one heart left and has an "Oh, Crap!" moment before being smacked and killed, causing Link to fall from the tower, hit a cliff edge, fall from said cliff and land even farther down, causing them to laugh at his death.
  • Arin starts voicing Tulin with his Sora/Nagito voice, but makes him sound like Guy Fieri and ending every sentence like a question.
  • Tulin tells Link about his ability to "blow a large gust of wind anywhere [Tulin] feels like". Arin's response?
    Arin: Yeah, me too, Tulin.
    • Similarly, Dan talks about having done Game Grumps for ten years and being told "I can't believe you get paid to play video games!".
    Dan: I don't get paid to play video games, I play video games for free. I get paid to sit in a cloud of Arin's farts for ten years. Ten. Long. Years.
  • Arin says "What the heck is goin' on around here?"
  • They do yet another Call-Back, doing the "You must protect the Triforce!" bit from Ocarina of Time.
  • While climbing the sky islands on the way to the Wind Temple, Arin opts to attack an enemy with one of his fused weapons, putting on a silly voice as he swings. Cue said enemy getting a double headshot from Tulin, leaving both of them suitably gobsmacked.
    Arin: Oh my god!
    Dan: Damn, Turin^note Tulin!
    Arin: I didn't know you did things!
    Dan: Maybe you are qualified for this.
  • Late into the episode, Arin plans to use his Ascension power to progress, complete with a "Check this shit out". He instead throws away the weapon he was holding, which plummets out of reach.
• Episode 12:
  • When Tulin comments that the lock they found "looks like a windmill", Arin says that getting blatant hints from other characters feels like being an adult watching Blue's Clues. He then proceeds to spend a solid 30 seconds failing to solve it.
  • Arin and Dan both fail to remember Tulin's name, with Arin calling him "Tustin" and Dan calling him "Turin", until the offscreen producer corrects them. This starts a Running Gag through a the rest of the series of almost never calling Tulin by his actual name.
  • Arin blowing himself up with the Time Bomb club.
• From Episode 13:
  • This sentence:
    Dan: I love the idea of like, you falling to your death, and you're like "(sigh) Is there enough time to pull out that shish kebab and eat it? I think so. I mean I cooked it and I don't want it to go to waste."
  • When talking about "Cake farts lady" and how it was around 10 years ago they first talked about her and hoping she's alive and well:
    Dan: We stan a farting queen.
  • After Arin gets hit by Colgera and Dan asks how to prevent that:
    Arin: You just gotta move out of the way. ...I just wasn't doing that.

    Arin: (laughing) You win some, you lose some, I guess.
    Dan: I guess do that, then!
• Episode 15:
  • Arin teleports back to the canyon from Episode 8 and he recalls the MCU conversation from the episode. Dan then jokes about it and says it's a one-off joke. A few minutes later, they get into an actual conversation about the various Spiderman movies...
  • Arin says he's confused by the map and it was the same in Breath of the Wild and that he didn't have a "relationship to the map", which prompts them to make a bit where Arin dates the map and Dan to say it was a dumb joke that went on longer than he expected.
  • They spend several minutes bodgeing together a support for Addison's sign, with the first simply falling straight forward.
  • They do a bit where they rapidly talk about the dragon and a key and say that "Princess Daphne is overloading!". Shortly after, Dan asks if they're losing their minds. Arin then starts talking about accidentally triggering Dan, while Dan is more annoyed than angry or triggered.
  • Bird car 2.0: It has no motor, no steering wheel, a questionable design and falls over every 5th second.

  • They give Yunobo the voice of "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
  • Dan starts speaking the game text in Spanish using a translator app.
  • They mock the allegory of the "marbled rock roast" being a Anvilicious drug allegory. Later, when it's said that kids can't eat the marbled rock roast, they make a bit where it's fine for kids to be drug addicts, too.
  • Dan relates the story of where he got busted by the police for having beer at a party in college and when they were fingerprinting him, his thumbs wouldn't fit on the fingerprint page and one of the cops said "Billy, get in here, this guy's got E.T. thumbs or somethin'!"
  • They joke that "Captain Toren and the monster control crew" sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon and improvise a theme song.
    • They repeatedly joke and make fun of Budder's hairstyle and name, which they pronounce like "booter".
• Episode 17:
  • Dan starts a Running Gag through the rest of the series, where every time they use Tulin's Wind Gust, since it sounds like it, the editor edits in the anime "Wow!" sound effect.
  • Arin uses a catapult in the sky to fling him to another island, which kills him on landing, prompting Arin to crack up and Dan to congratulate him on a job well done.
• Episode 18 might as well have been called "Arin fails at everything"
  • Arin kills the aerocuda carrying the Skyview tower's control panel offscreen. Not knowing what the control panel is, though, he proceeds to make a Katamari with it. Before he figures out what it is, a Blood Moon occurs, despawning it and respawning it along with the Aerocuda. This is important later.
  • Arin complains about the Marvel Cinematic Universe again and Dan interprets "MCU" as meaning "My Cupcake Underwear" unless "MCU" means something else. Arin's response:
    Arin: My Chemical Underwear?
  • After figuring out the control panel's importance, he notices the aerocuda is now respawned flying significantly higher apparently and tries to first build a drone and uses his last 3 arrows starting up his various flying contraptions. He then builds a bridge that simply falls over. After getting two arrows back and wasting them, he laments that he's an idiot.
    Dan: Well, Arin, look upon your works and despair!
  • Arin builds a better skybridge, despite not having any arrows and Dan helpfully asks Arin to not read the comments of the episode. Dan then asks to pause the episode, with the editor giving a recap of Arin's failures.
  • Arin then tries to get arrows from a nearby bokoblin and his moblin friend. He also realizes he may have been able to simply set the grass on fire the entire time to fly up. He then gets killed by the moblin. This becomes a trend.
  • Arin then proceeds to then give up and try and go to a nearby shrine. As he exits the map, he shortly after gets one-shotted by the moblin, which causes them to crack up. This is where it changes from semi-annoying failure to amusing epic failure.
  • Arin then tries to run past them, but notices a trio of Zonai mini-tanks. He activates one, but then proceeds to try and attach a nearby flame emitter to the other, but once again gets killed by the moblin while trying to attach it. Arin points out the flame emitter on top of one of the tanks and activates it along with one of the tanks, before being one-shotted by the moblin once again, causing them to crack up again.
    Dan: Battle Tip: Stop getting stabbed with the spear! It's so sudden and violent always one shot!
  • Arin then succeeds in getting all three tanks working and attacking the moblin, but they run out of battery before killing it and Arin dodges long enough for them to recharge only for the moblin to once more kill Arin before he can successfully reactivate them, sending them into a laughing fit again. Arin gives up on that and then runs towards the shrine.
  • Dan then laments that they've accomplished absolutely nothing in half an hour.
  • The shrine then ends up being a “proving ground”. Arin's first death ends being a construct killing him through the floor. The next attempt has him doing well, killing several constructs, but upon activating a mini-tank with a flame emitter, he proceeds to accidentally get killed by the flames, once again cracking them up and causing Dan to scream in despair. The next attempt doesn't go quite as well. While in a seemingly safe spot, and getting another mini-tank ready, a construct kills Link with a rock to the head, cracking them up and prompting Dan to ask the editor to edit together all of Link's deaths so far in the episode.
• In Episode 20:
  • Dan tells Arin to save after he kills the constructs in another Proving Ground in case he dies, since he just got hurt by falling. Arin just has Link eat some food to replenish the health.
    Dan: Anything to not do what I suggested...
  • Arin complains about having to get a Heart Container, saying he's going to be like "I wish I had more stamina!" in a whiny voice.
    Dan: What an intense self-burn! (Arin laughs) For no reason!
    Arin: It's for a reason! I'm annoying.
  • Dan pronounces Shabonne's name like it's one of Michael Jackson's song interjections.
  • Arin first reads Fernison's dialogue normally, but after a few minutes, starts reading it in the "You must protect the Triforce" Miss Piggy-like voice.
• In Episode 21:
  • Arin finds out you can attach rockets to your shield to fly and points out that that could have also helped him against the aerocuda in episode 18. Danny notes that presumably absolutely nobody would have pointed that out in the comment section.
  • Arin sweeps in from a sky island and fights a Flux Construct and gets killed after a few seconds and one punch. As Dan notes:
    Dan: I love the idea of you doing a 2,000 foot jump, sweeping in like an anime hero and being like "Let's fucking do this!" and then a one-punch death.
  • They find a Korok looking for his friend and joke about sticking him to the wing and sending him flying off on his own. Arin does get it close, but overshoots the landing and ending up in the canyon next to his friend. Arin then tries attaching him to a balloon and launching him, but he goes about 50 feet up and plummets back to the ground. He sees a stone plummet from the sky, but takes too long to rewind the stone and it just stays in place.
  • They then see Meeshy walk by and talk with her. Dan points out that the Korok is on the left of the screen, sweating profusely, as they chat her up.
• In Episode 22:
  • In a shrine, Arin has to launch a rail car with rockets, but with one rocket on the side, causing it to fly off the rails. However, it stays on the rails long enough to aim him towards the end, and he is able to just glide to the end, skipping several puzzles.
    Dan: It's a little thing I like to call "perfect execution"!
  • After seeing a bunch of keese fly out of a cave, we have this:
    Dan!Batman: I become the Batman!
    Arin!Batman: I am upset about parent die! (Both laugh)

    Dan: "I become upset about parent die"? (Arin chokes in laughter)
    Dan!Batman: Shooty shooty pearl fall floor! (Both laugh more)

    Arin: Maybe I'm not as stupid as I thou... As you thought I was.

• In Episode 24:
  • Arin blows himself up with his cannon claymore, and Dan lampshades how often Arin does that in Zelda games.
  • When the demon statue talks about how despite being cursed to be a statue, he kept making deals, which they compare to a gambling addict. Later he says that "Perhaps another might have learned a lesson from all this. But I have not." which cracks them up.
    Arin!Statue: Y'know what, I'm still an asshole. So what're ya gonna do?
  • Dan likens the game's Parrot Exposition for Link talking to their Minnesota Fats episodes' stilted exposition.
  • Dan makes up a bit where Arin is a huge fan of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, despite Arin not having heard the entire album. Arin cracks up that this is the point where Dan tries to gaslight him, over a Smashing Pumpkins album.
    Dan: It's not gaslighting! I'm fucking trying to help you! (Arin laughs) Always with the accusations, even though I'm trying to get you to appreciate your favorite album by The Smashing Pumpkins, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
    • They make it a Running Gag throughout the rest of the episode about how much Arin loves the album.
  • Arin tries to make a bit where Dan's only interest is unicorns, but Dan turns it back around to the Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness gag and after Arin says "I'm like huge into Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.", he asks the editor to edit that in randomly in quiet portions of them playing.
  • They joke that Ami is staring at Link's junk when he looks down.
  • Dan calls Tulin "Theodore" and Arin corrects him with "Tustin", causing Dan to say "I love that you correct me with the wrong name."

He still gets the treasure he was aiming for after a little bit, so it worked out.
  • While trying to get into Turakawak shrine, Arin accidentally sets his bow on fire and then tries to glide into it, landing in the brambles. He then takes out a fan and glides to the shrine, while also landing in some brambles, but still making it in the shrine, making them joke that Link is stumbling and bleeding while entering the shrine.
  • A bokoblin they're fighting keeps getting set on fire by their friend's arrows, causing them to cause him to lament him teaming up with him.

  • The boys finally find the treasure they've been searching for for most of the last episode and nearly 30 minutes of this one and are immensely dissappointed that it's just the hat from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. They're then immediately attacked by their first gloom hands.^note They saw Gloom Hands in Episode 25, but weren't attacked by them because they were on a raised section and it left them confused as to what happened.
    Arin: After all this... It's gonna be awesome!
    Dan: It's one shoe. Cap of the Wind! ...Ohhhh...
    (...)

  • Arin blows himself up when attaching a bomb to an arrow, forgetting that the heat makes them blow up immediately.
  • Dan remarks that it's surprisingly easy to slide from doing a Arnold Schwarzenegger impression to doing a Kermit the Frog impression. They then make a bit where Kermit says lines from Predator and other 80's films.
• Episode 42:
  • They keep mishearing Yunobo's "I can do it!" as "Why'd you do it!" (Which is shockingly common to mishear it as), so they make bits througout the episode about why they did something.
  • Dan asks about Yunobo frequently ending sentences with "goro", and Arin notes that a lot of anime characters have tics like that and notes Naruto's "dattebayo or "believe it!" catchphrase. Dan asks what "dattebayo" means and Arin doesn't know, so Dan jokes that it means "Thumbs down to the Jews!"
  • They talk about how the Zelda they keep seeing isn't actually Zelda:
    Dan!Link: God, don't be an idiot that believes in impossible things! Princess Zelda traveled back in time and is currently thousands of years in the past! I know, I keep sending her stuff!
    Arin!Link: And she receives it!
    Dan!Link: In my dreams which I see through tears!
  • How many times they have to smack the constructs with the weaker weapon he's using as it's stun-locked cracks them up.

    Dan: You've got two. (rocket falls from ledge) You've got one. (Arin laughs) Oh my god...
  • Arin attaches a rocket to the front of a cart and insists it will be fine and not hurt Link. When he starts it, it causes the cart to be too front heavy and launches itself into the rails and when Link hops out and the rocket disappears, the cart simply flies up and plunges off the tracks while Arin simply says "Wait!" both of which causes Dan to have an extended laughing fit.
  • Dan makes a bit where he could either get paid with Game Grumps or have dignity and that he gets paid only in "Grump Bucks" which are only redeemable in office for trinkets Arin made or bread and Starburst.
    Dan: I hope the government will understand when I pay my mortgage in Grump Bucks!

    Dan: "See, Ramona Flowers." "Thumbs down! Back to the episode."
  • When they find a Korok wanting to find its friend, they make a bit where the other Korok is trying to get away from the lost Korok and is pissed when Link brings them back to them. Funnily enough, someone else made a comic about just that. Arin builds a wing for the Korok and launches it without Link on it, speculating that since only one fan was provided, that the Korok was meant to go by themselves. It deactivates the fan soon after launching because Link wasn't on it and the wing plows into the hill, tumbling down it while the Korok is glued to it, causing Dan to laugh the whole time. Arin carries the Korok up the hill and drops the Korok when they get in range of their friend, who starts tumbling back down the hill, causing them to laugh.
  • After creating his first functioning hoverbike in one of the worst sets of circumstances, on a tiny outcrop next to a cliff and a giant lake in the rain, Arin flies it up to a Dragon's Tear glyph and hopes it doesn't fall when he has to get off of it when he sees another Korok. It proceeds to slide down the hill while Arin repeatedly says "Don't fall!"
  • When watching the Dragon's Tear, Rauru says that Link and "that legendary sword he carries" will be their last line of defense. They have Zelda point out:
    Arin!Zelda: Oh, he's not carrying it, I am.
    Dan!Rauru: What?
    Arin!Rauru: What the fuck?
    Arin!Zelda: And it's broken.
    Arin!Rauru: Oh, God!

He can't drive it through the gatehouse to the bridge the Gleeok is on. He's able to finagle the tank through the gate and drive it to the Gleeok. But does almost no damage before the Gleeok takes off out of range of the cannons. It quickly runs out of battery and Arin proceeds to get the heck out of Dodge.
  • Shortly after, Arin builds another hoverbike, but accidentally has the fans facing the wrong way, making them crack up. Dan then lampshades that Link is the savior of Hyrule and hopes the others weren't watching that whole sequence:
    Dan!Link: That dragon is really hard! I'll make a hoverbike to hover away (makes sound of the hoverbike going the wrong way) Oh, no!

  • Dan has a Running Gag where he's trying to make the word "cream" become a thing and also starts replacing other words with it.

  • Dan asks the editor to not edit in a "Wow!" sound effect when Arin says it, saying it can only play when "Tulips" does the Wind Gust.
  • They lampshade how Queen Sonia's gently rubbing her finger along a cup rim is sensual and then when Sonia holds Zelda's hands, they point out what fans are thinking, or wanting.
    Dan: What are you doing, Nintendo?

    Arin!Sonia: But first, we must link our abilities. Kiss me!

  • In the "Everybody Laughs" Ending of the Dragon's Tear, they joke that Rauru's laugh fades off and he's scrolling through Grindr, which causes them to crack up. This starts a Running Gag that the playthrough is Link trying to decide on who is best on Grindr, Todd or Aiden.
  • They have Link having the hots for a Gerudo girl, but the girl immediately "friend zone's" them, by just calling them a pal.
  • After Arin takes Link's clothes off due to the heat from the Gerudo desert, he puts his clothes back on after getting a heat resistant headpiece and someone objects to him being in his underwear.
    Dan!Link: Oh, so now you'll talk to me because I'm wearing pants!?
  • Dan lampshades how helpful it would be in real life if people would tell you up front what they want, like in a Zelda game.
    Dan: Hey, Bill, how ya doin'?
    Dan!Bill: I could really go for a poppy-seed bagel with egg and cheese, right now.

  • Dan makes a bit where a character can only talk in quotes from Charlton Heston's character from the end of Planet of the Apes (1968). When "Jimmy" keeps talking about how different characters "had their brains cut out", and they note most of the time he's wrong and how infrequently that actually happens. They then bring up One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, with Jimmy not remembering how that one ends...

  • After Arin runs out of arrows for Riju to unleash her lightning powers, the final flying gibdo becomes stuck under a covering while Arin attacks it, leaving it basically shaking its butt for a while onscreen. Dan asks the editor to add in some dance music to it and the editor obliges.

• Episode 54:
  • After Traysi tells Penn to leave, they make a bit where he's just outside the door, listening and you see his beak slowly appear behind the door or he keeps interjecting in the conversation. They then joke that Traysi gives Link incentives that would be more appropriate for Penn, like fish or mealworms.
  • They make a bit where Zelda and the tusked creature she was "riding" were a couple and Link keeps being disappointed as Penn recounts the various things they were seen doing.

    Arin: (Sees a bunch of sky islands leading upward) Whoa, what is that?
    Dan: Arin... (both laugh)
  • At the Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower, Arin figures out it never stops raining, so he has to build a shelter over the brambles before he can light them on fire. So he does build a cover, but it gets destroyed when he tries to use Yunobo's charge to light the brambles on fire.

    Dan: Okay, I just looked up and things are going well. (Both laugh)
