Who doesn't love a game with elves, magical princesses, and a classic struggle between good and evil? These are essential elements to any good video game, or heck, any good story. And the fun thing about Zelda compared to other popular video games is that it's… cute. I don't know the right way to say this, but there are ugly video games, and then there are cute video games. And ugly doesn't mean bad, just maybe that they're focused on dark, gritty, dangerous aesthetics. That's all well and good, but sometimes I want to look at some bright colors as I adventure my way through the universe. Also, colorful and pleasing graphics do not have to mean a lack of drama or intrigue. Anyone who's played Zelda can tell you that.
Anyway, Zelda is a classic for a reason, and like other classic games, has inspired decades of meme content in its wake. Get in on some recent ones here.
