Whoever made the meme is playing it right too. It's fun to laugh about Zelda stuck in a freaky womb nose-to-nose with Dark Beast Ganon for 100 years when you're on your way to the Korok Forrest to claim Hestu's Gift.
This happened to me a handful of times with Red Dead Redemption 2. Hunting, wagon stealing, and stealth murdering in that game was super fun. Hell, even some of the side quest lines were more fun than where I was at in the main quest line.
