Why it worked
The meme taps into nostalgia for a beloved game and uses a popular actor's recognizable image to evoke a sense of relatable, bittersweet reflection on growing up.
Summary
The meme contrasts a childhood desire for the game "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" with an adult's more somber reality. It uses images of Ryan Gosling as a child and an adult to represent this transition.
Structure
- 1Childhood desire for Zelda: Ocarina of Time
- 2Adult Ryan Gosling's weary expression
- 3Juxtaposition of past and present
Product placement
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (game) - appears on screen as a game box. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
