The best Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom memes
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom taught us one thing: give players an inch of freedom and they’ll take a mile (then turn it into a million memes). In Tears of the Kingdom, Link can build machines and structures with his new powers. While players often use these powers to solve puzzles, they also create wild structures that have inspired memes.
As it turns out, almost anything – from war vehicles to terrible jokes – is now possible in Hyrule. Players have used Link’s powers to create menacing machines, torture Koroks, create elongated bridges, and more. These moments go viral and inspire even more shenanigans. Here are our favorite memes inspired by Tears of the Kingdom.
The dark truth about scanning Animal Crossing: New Horizons amiibo
Tears of the Kingdom In addition to Zelda-themed amiibos, players can scan a whole range of different amiibos from other popular games. Most of these give players items, such as ingredients or equipment. And a surprising number Animal Crossing amiibo give players…meat. This suggests a rather devastating turn of events for favorite villagers – an ending that turned TikToker mayplaystv into comedy gold.
Link using the Ascend ability to jump into the butt of statues
In Tears of the Kingdom, Link gains the new ability to Ascend – courtesy of Rauru’s arm – and he puts it to good use. Instead of, you know, saving Zelda or Hyrule, players have been using the Ascend ability to jump into the butts of statues. (My favorite part is when Link looks like he’s swimming through the butt.) There are plenty of sample videos, but this is our favorite.
Plenty of Monsanto on Cuccos
It took Link more than 30 years, but he finally found a way to protect himself from Cucco attacks. This YouTuber put the birds in a metal box built using Ultrahand, plopped in some menacing Zonai devices and then reaped the reward of many, a lot of Eggs. All the while, Link remained protected from attack in the metal cage.
Rank Zelda hotties on TikTok
Polygon created a filter on TikTok which allowed fans to bracket and rank their favorite characters Tears of the Kingdom. The filter allowed people to choose their favorite characters and wash Certainly not to kiss them. Thousands used the filter, and let’s just say many had a hard time choosing between Sidon and our newly anointed mama Purah.
Players torture Koroks
Yes haha! Tears of the Kingdom players torturing Koroks has become an extremely popular meme. The list of crimes is long: people have shared videos of Link crucifying Koroks, blasting them into the air while strapped to missiles, and even using Ultrahand to glue them butt-to-face in a giant chain, Human centipede-style. It sucks, but it has quickly become a defining trend.
Purah is now a hot mama
Purah may be over 100 years old, but she is a certified mama. Her new design is a big hit. In Breath of the Wild she looked like a kid, but she’s aged since then and her more grown-up look and general confused vibe really works for people. Fans are extremely grateful and have responded with edits and fan art.
Building war machines and weird trucks
Link’s new powers give players the ability to create an almost infinite number of designs. The sky is the limit, quite literally, in this game. And players have used Ultrahand to craft intense war machines, using everyday in-game objects like logs and planks, along with Zonai items, to create trucks, flamethrowers, and even Trojan horses.
Ultrahand is also useful for creating flaming cocks
While some players are building masses of locomotives and vehicles – to travel with And for waging war — others use their power in more inventive ways. The TTP (time to penis) in it Tears of the Kingdom has been incredibly short, even though the dicks built into the game are incredibly…creative!
Link is a skateboarding professional
Of course you can fuse weapons to make them more powerful. But if you stick a cart to a shield, you can turn Tears of the Kingdom into a pretty convincing skateboarding game. Fans have made tons of TikToks of Link shredding, Tony Hawk style, through the hills of Hyrule – not to mention all the rail grinding through the Great Sky Island. (You can even do the latter with just a shield.)
Fans put Addison, the cartoonist, in ‘prison’
Addison is an overworked NPC who just wants to put up some signs – in support of the president of Hyrule’s premier construction company – in Tears of the Kingdom. The only problem is that he doesn’t know how to support his boards. To help him, Link must solve basic physics puzzles to keep the boards level. Players can find Addison at the ends of Hyrule with his characters in tow, and while he’s charmed some fans, others have decided to put him in jail.
Players use Tears of the Kingdom logic in real life
In Tears of the Kingdom, Link can activate Zonai devices by hitting them with a melee weapon. TikTokers who have played the game a little too long have moved away from their Switches to apply the same logic to real fans and other devices. Isn’t it weird that in real life fans don’t get excited when you hit them? Suddenly we are all reaching for our paraglidersonly to realize we didn’t pack them.
Fans rehydrated Ganondorf, making him hot
did you hear? Ganondorf is also hot right now. In the first teaser for Tears of the Kingdom, we saw a shriveled raisin version of Ganondorf. But now he’s back in the game and looking smoother than ever. No matter how hydrated the Gerudo royal is, no amount of water would be enough to quench the fans’ thirst.
