That still leaves the question: where does he link to?

To rule 34 of Zelda

I miss the days when Link was left-handed.

[–] from_D4rkness@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

As someone that always customizes their hyperlink colors, it took me a moment to remember that the default was blue and purple to get the joke. If it wasn't for the other comments, I might still be confused.

Um....why did Zelda turn purple. I don't get it.

. . (I'm joking, I know who is Zelda).

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hyperlinks are typically blue and underlined. Until you click/tap them, at which point they turn purple.

[–] embed_me@programming.dev 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So you're saying Mario tapped Link

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hahahaha, saw it just after waking up and didn't get it. I just had breakfast and it clicked.

He clicked it too much. Don't worry though it'll return to its previous healthy colour.

I get it, I get it, I’m old. Sheesh…

[–] Zucca@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah. I wonder if youngsters of this day get this at all.

Good joke none the less. 😀

Why wouldn't they? Links did not stop turning purple, this still happens very often.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

where? i don't remember the last time I've seen a website without custom styling that overrides this.

[–] herrvogel@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

The results of any search engine.

Reddit.

Lemmy.

This really is not a rare thing. At all.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 day ago

Well, lots of webpages apply CSS, either disabling the history coloring entirely or at least choosing different colors. It does still happen with blue and purple, but it's not nearly as obvious anymore that these specific two colors refer to that.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Let the old boomers have their fun.

[–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago

Actually, now that I think about it, accessed links in Google Sheets only change to a different color of blue.

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Me: wondering where the sword went and thinking its about link being in rainbow one hit invincible mode.

[–] eselover@lemmy.today 7 points 1 day ago

It is on his back, you can see the hilt through his hat.

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 day ago

This weirdo told me his name and I thought he said "Link", I thought that's a cool name

I just misheard him but he flipped out when he realized my misunderstanding

He went by Shaggy and Steve and a different name every time asked, all arounda shady character, but he'd never thought of calling himself Link

It's kinda funny but I needed it explained

[–] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

Links on websites by default turn purple when clicked
