It’s kinda funny but I needed it explained
Links on websites by default turn purple when clicked
frequently visited
Um…why did Zelda turn purple. I don’t get it.
. . (I’m joking, I know who is Zelda).
Hyperlinks are typically blue and underlined. Until you click/tap them, at which point they turn purple.
So you’re saying Mario tapped Link
I get it, I get it, I’m old. Sheesh…
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.
where? i don’t remember the last time I’ve seen a website without custom styling that overrides this.
Every wiki ever
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.
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.
I miss the days when Link was left-handed.
Hahahaha, saw it just after waking up and didn’t get it. I just had breakfast and it clicked.
So now it’s purple
That still leaves the question: where does he link to?
he’s a Link to the Past
more like hotlink
amiright?
then the spiders crawl all over you and build the web
