I think one thing Arin probably likes about MM if he played it more is the fact that you could beat the bosses in multiple ways. Odolwa is weak to the bombs and the dekuflower as a pop up as an example
I like how Arin showed the arrow strategy against Goht (which I never knew about before now). Honestly the fight itself is really cool because it feels like a reference to some of the labors of Hercules. Most obvious is the Cretan Bull, referenced in Goht's appearance and destructive power; shooting arrows to disable something that moves much faster than Link normally does brings to mind the method Hercules (at least in one version) used to capture the Ceryneian Hind, and its defeat (running into the rock wall where it's buried) feels like a reference to the Erymanthian Boar being driven into the snow so it could be caught. Not to mention Link takes on the form of a Goron hero, further strengthening the parallels.
They really did their research in Majoras Mask. Woodfall temple and Odolwa have a number of pretty specific Mayan references, to the point that his chants are (allegedly) real mayan chants that more or less make sense in the context of the fight. Even entering snowhead temple feels like something out of an old legend: Discovering that the great blizzard was caused by the breath of a giant, and using a song to lull him to sleep
I remember when I was a little kid I definitely beat Goht my first time the way Arin did here, except I always just hung by the entrance door and shot him when he ran by lol

I always shoot arrows at him till hes stunned and then quick spin the hell out of him it's very effective

The Goht fight- wow
*riveting commentary Arin*
Watching Arron fight a Wizzrobe for the 1st time is physically painful.
Can we talk about their Blue conversation during the first miniboss? Absolute gold.
I agree with arin that you can't oversalt a steak
I wonder why my blood pressure is always so high 🤔
Lol. Meanwhile Dan did finish Link Between Worlds and Wii Punch Out eludes us.
Lol find it funny how he said he’d finish punchout Wii and not A Link Between Worlds yet the opposite happened

Ok real talk
I didn't know you could kill Odolwa's moths with bombs
Yeah you can also do that with the moths that swarm around torches
“Wow look at these silly critters”

I wish Dan could have seen the proper Goht battle rather than the cheese Arin did.
I always heard Odalwa's chant as "ya-mott"
Miniboss is called Wizzrobe :)
No gyorg?
Odolwas' bugs are attracted to bombs!
I hear "rob roy" for the chant
First :D
