One of the darkest entries inThe Legend of Zeldaseries has to beTwilight Princess. It was a grand return after some fans were not pleased with whatThe Wind Wakerhad to offer. The franchise went from a cartoonish experience to a more mature one.

But as mature as this game can be, it’s also filled with a lot of classic weird stuff as well. It might just have thescariest children in a video game ever. Period. There is plenty to make fun of in meme form. It’s what the medium excels, at so let’s see what jokes are in store for old Link.
10Top Man Be Gone
First of all, yes, the image of Link is fromHyrule Warriors. That said, the Spinner item is fromTwilight Princess. As to the other end of this meme’s joke, Top Man is a boss fromMega Man 3. Once defeated, Mega Man will acquire the Top Spinner. He can’t ride it, but that’s close enough to make this joke work.
9The Big Reveal
The part inTwilight Princesswhen Midna reveals her true form was one of the most surprising events in anyZeldatitle. It could be likened to Link getting older inOcarina of Time, although that was heavily advertised. Anyway, having Jim Carrey lose his marbles inThe Maskwas a nice pairing for this meme. There are no words to be said here because the expression is loud and clear.
8Amaterasu VS Link
2006 was seemingly the year of the wolf in video games.Okamilaunched in April of that year in Japan, with it releasing that following September in the west.

No matter its release date,Okamistill beat outTwilight Princess’Wii debut in November. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it — Amaterasu is a god and Link is not. Therefore, Amaterasu is cooler. End of story.
7GameCube VS Wii
Speaking of dates, even though this game released on both the Wii and GameCube, the latter of the two console players had to wait almost an entire month to play it. The Wii version came out on November 19 while the GameCube version was a December 11 release. For those that waited, they know that they got to experience the better version. That’s what thismemeis referencing.
6Twilight Prince
With a name likeTwilight Princess, it’s hard not to make aTwilightjoke here. This meme could be in reference to either one of these two characters disappointed by the fact that the other doesn’t sparkle like the vampires in the book series. Of the two Link, is the pretty boy so it’s funnier to imagine Zelda saying it. There must be some magic in the kingdom of Hyrule to make this dream a reality for her.
5Tim Burton’s The Legend Of Zelda
Based off of initial feedback fromThe Wind Waker, in that some fans were turned off by the cartoonish design, Nintendo knew they had to go dark with the next game.Twilight Princessperhaps went too dark. Not in a mature way, but more of a Tim Burton way. It has the filmmaker’s dark, quirky flair written all over it, what with the Ooccoos and goth girl Midna. This meme is spot on.
4South Park’s Damien
The title of this entry, and in the meme, is in reference to theSouth Parkepisode “Damien.” In said episode, the son of Satan, the titular Damien, comes up from hell to wreak havoc on the boys. Whenever he uses his magic by chanting this phrase to the skies. Malo definitely has the vibe of a creepy child from the underworld.
3Don’t Speak
The Hero’s Spirit is a fallen version of Link fromOcarina of Time. The meme funnily points out that in this form, he can talk and yet he couldn’t say anything but “hya” while he was alive. No one wants a repeat of the sassy Link from the ’80s cartoon, but he should talk by now. There are plenty of good voice actors out there who could do justice to the role.
2Wallet Space
Inventory space never really made sense in these games. If Link can carry literally dozens of items, why does he then have a limit on how many Rupees he can carry?

For that matter, they always look as big as the wallets themselves, which means realistically even the biggest version should only hold about twenty pieces.
1Very Nice
Getting ahold of the bedroom key may be a cheap joke, but Borat likes it. Yes, Borat’s catch phrases are old and perhaps tired now, especially if that one office coworker quotes it ad nauseam like it’s 2006. Still, hearing a “very nice” every once in a while may make one perk up and smile. Imagining him as Tingle makes the meme even funnier.
