The latest remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has arrived on Nintendo Switch 2 today, November 5, 2026, bringing Link’s legendary adventure back as part of Zelda’s 40th anniversary celebrations. 

I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for us, too, to revisit the things that we love most about the storied series. In the form of memes, of course, in true Cheezburger fashion.
 

Is it possible for a game to be the best game ever made more than once?

There have been an untold number of memes and formats shared involving the series, consisting of Navi, «Well, excuuuuse me, princess!», the infamous CD-I games, and, of course, «It’s Dangerous to go Alone! Take This.» In this collection, I have specifically tried to go back and grab memes that themselves are a trip back in time to an internet from long ago. 

No spoilers, but I think this quote from Sheik in the Temple of Time is fitting here…

«The flow of time is always cruel… its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it… A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days…»
