What About Second Ocarina of Time Remake LOTR Meme

Joke mocking Nintendo fan demand for a second high-definition remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and parodying Nintendo's pattern of re-releasing classic games for profit

This 4-panel meme repurposes the iconic Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring scene where hobbits Merry and Pippin ask Aragorn for a second meal after breakfast. The dialogue is rewritten to joke about video game consumer culture: first, Merry asks 'What about Ocarina of Time Remake?', next Aragorn responds dismissively 'We already had it.', then Merry acknowledges this while showing the official The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3DS remake box art saying 'We've had one, yes.', finally he follows up cheekily 'What about second REMAKE?'. The meme jokes about widespread fan demand for an additional modern high-definition remake of the classic Zelda title, as well as mocking Nintendo's common business practice of re-releasing older games for new consoles for full price, as referenced in the associated post title that parodies Nintendo as 'Johntendo' demanding consumer money for the second remake in 2026.

This is a derivative remix of the viral and long-running 'second breakfast' Lord of the Rings meme template, shared via RSS from Reddit's r/Meme subreddit. The original meme template comes from a scene in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring released in 2001, and this edit references the 2011 Nintendo 3DS remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, as well as persistent fan calls for another remake of the title for the Nintendo Switch or its successor consoles. The associated post title uses a pun on 'Nintendo' renamed 'Johntendo' to mock corporate video game publishers charging consumers for repeated re-releases of the same content.
