Growing up when Grand Theft Auto was new was one hell of a time. Many of us had to hide the game from our parents, but it was still inevitable that they'd catch you doing some unsavory stuff. We always wondered how people with very strict or very religious parents dealt with it. They made for some interesting scenes, like how this person's religious dad out-religioned some evangelists at the door.

We share a lot of general gaming meme galleries, but why not show some love for a classic? Nintendo's original The Legend of Zelda was first released in 1986, but since then there have been over twenty Zelda releases and a ton of spin-offs. It only makes sense that the internet would churn out a lot of dank memes dedicated to the game and its characters. And we've got a bunch of 'em right here for you.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about various video games that had all the promise in the world, and ended up bombing completely. Sometimes video games just flop, and the hype ends up being just that - hype.
