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

UwAAAAAAAA!

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

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

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 months ago

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

[-] from_D4rkness@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months 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.

[-] tamal3@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

What colors do you prefer?

[-] from_D4rkness@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Bright green for unvisited, and light purple for visited. Everything on dark backgrounds. I love nightmode on every website, way nicer on the eyes.

[-] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 months ago

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 miss the days when Link was left-handed.

Sometimes. He's usually a teenager of vague age. I think TOTK is the oldest he's ever been, and he's somewhere in the 22-25 range.

This is so ridiculous. I love it.

Here is why drugs are good for you

I saw this when i was sober and I didn't get it. Now I'm high as a kite and understand why he changed colors.

You're such a good influence!

I get it, I get it, I’m old. Sheesh…

[-] Zucca@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

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

Good joke none the less. 😀

[-] herrvogel@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months 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.

Every wiki ever

Let the old boomers have their fun.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

[-] herrvogel@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

The results of any search engine.

Reddit.

Lemmy.

This really is not a rare thing. At all.

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

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

It's kinda funny but I needed it explained

[-] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

Links on websites by default turn purple when clicked

[-] TurboHarbinger@feddit.cl 1 points 2 months ago
[-] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months 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
