Some people love puns, no matter how silly they are. Judging by her expression after hearing this doozy, Zelda does not appreciate such playful ideas. One can sympathize with her attitude towards such gags. She is busy trying to either save or rebuild Hyrule, so the princess has no time for bad puns. She should be relieved otherLegend of Zeldatitles are not as easily turned into bad jokes.

9 It's A Mod, Mod, Mod, Mod, World

Mod Meme Breath of the wild

Nintendo games never come out on PC, so modding is extremely rare. However, fans who love to mold their favorite adventures into something different have found a way to modBreath of the Wild through Wii U emulation. The above result shows the dangers of humans playing God. Fans just better hope this does not give the developer any strange ideas aboutBreath of the Wild 2.

8 Some Things Never Change

Nintendo really went all out forBreath of the Wild, completely changing up the traditional franchise formula. However, some things remained familiar. Link still wakes up at the beginning of the game to start his adventure. He is not stirred awake by a well-meaning, irritating fairy, but instead by the titular character reaching out to him from a distance.

7 The Best Laid Plans

King of Hyrule BoTW meme

The King of Hyrule had a pretty decent plan laid out in order to destroy Calamity Ganon — and it would have worked if Ganon had not corrupted the Divine Beasts.

Would better judgment and tact have spared Hyrule, or was Ganon too powerful for any amount of strength? Whatever the case, at least Link eventually wakes up from his injuries and fights back.

6 Classic Open-World Introduction

There is nothing more stressful in gaming than those first steps into an open-world adventure. Not only is the terrain foreign, but most enemies are powerful and the player runs the risk of venturing into an area for which they are completely unprepared. This usually ends with the player running into the nearest town while deadly enemies chase them the whole way.

5 Real Life Spoiler Alert

WithBreath of the Wild 2 on the way and the Nintendo Switch launch title's astounding success, it would not be surprising to see a thirdBreath of the Wildgame hit the market eventually. Direct and pseudo sequels are not foreign to the series, likeMajora's Mask, but Nintendo has never done a whole trilogy following the same Link and story. If this time traveler is telling the truth, however, then fans have at least one more game in the series to look forward to.

4 Water Logic

Waterfall raining meme

Link can climb underneath a waterfall with no resistance. However, if it starts raining, then his grip will start draining significantly faster and he is liable to slip. The rain inBreath of the Wild is the bane of every explorer's existence, hindering climbing at random moments. Dealing with the forces of nature is part of the game's magic, though. Rain is not the real issue here; it is the lack of logic behind not slipping while climbing up a waterfall.

3 Gotta Put A Password On It

Breath of the meme

Link's Sheikah Slate is his personal tool, so he did not expect Zelda to rummage through it. It is impossible to say what exactly those hidden files are, however. For the sake of Link's reputation, this entry won't speculate on what exactly Zelda may have found. All of this embarrassment could have been easily avoided if Link had password-protected his device or at least deleted his Sheikah Slate search history.

Korok Seed meme BoTW

Throughout the entirety of Breath of the Wild, Zelda is using her powers to contain Calamity Ganon's power within the castle to prevent him from completely conquering Hyrule. With this in mind, Link sure takes his sweet time uncorrupting the Divine Beasts and preparing for the final battle. He certainly needs to be prepared, but 900 korok seeds is overkill.

1 Always The Namesake, Never The Protagonist

Zelda Botw Zelda Meme

How many other franchises in any medium are named after a major character who is not the protagonist? It must be an honor to be the namesake of one of the most enduring series of all time, but players almost never play as Zelda in a proper entry. She was the main protagonist of a game for the Philips CD-i, but those entries are better off forgotten.
