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.
then the spiders crawl all over you and build the web
UwAAAAAAAA!
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 can hear this GIF.
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.

Every wiki ever
Actually, now that I think about it, accessed links in Google Sheets only change to a different color of blue.
Let the old boomers have their fun.
where? i don't remember the last time I've seen a website without custom styling that overrides this.
The results of any search engine.

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.

What colors do you prefer?
Bright green for unvisited, and light purple for visited. Everything on dark backgrounds. I love nightmode on every website, way nicer on the eyes.
Hahahaha, saw it just after waking up and didn't get it. I just had breakfast and it clicked.
So now it's purple
He clicked it too much. Don't worry though it'll return to its previous healthy colour.
Got to delete the cookies
That still leaves the question: where does he link to?

I miss the days when Link was left-handed.
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
Me: wondering where the sword went and thinking its about link being in rainbow one hit invincible mode.
It is on his back, you can see the hilt through his hat.

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!
Thanks!
It's kinda funny but I needed it explained
Links on websites by default turn purple when clicked
Too good
