    OMG it all makes sense now! O.O

    But, but… *cranium ignites*

    someone explain…

    …RUN MY BROTHERS THEY HAVE FOUND US OUT!!!!

  5. Lupin on September 12th, 2008 6:46 am

    There is a flaw in this logic. According to Maddox in the Alphabet of Manliness Pirates are manly. Therefore there are no female pirates (despite what Disney tells you). Therefore pirates do not equal ninjas.

  6. SpiralCocktail on September 12th, 2008 6:50 am

    Yeah… not really funny at all. That just proves that Zelda has already incorporated being a ninja and a pirate, the nonsexual fetish of internet geekdom, she’ll probably become a robot next.

  7. Vabolo on September 12th, 2008 7:10 am

    WITH THE POWER OF THIS KNOWLEDGE, WE SHALL UNIFY ALL INTERENT FORUMS IN ONE WHOLE!

    ZOMG IS EPIC … ily person who made picture ^^. Friend retrives knife. *Makes zelda noise.* You have aquired knife: good for stabbing friends who <3 and hates ninjas … eep

    “Shigeru-san?”

    “Yes, Eiji-san?”

    “I think you need to look at this…”

    “What are you talking about, Eiji-sa…OH HOLY SHINTO. They’ve found us out.”

    “Shigeru-san, I’m scared.”

    “I am too, Eiji-san. I am too. This could undermine everything we were going to do with Zelda…There’s only one answer.”

    “What’s that, Shigeru-san?”

    “Burn it all.”

    “Shigeru-san?”

    “Burn all the records. Sheik, Tetra, Zelda, all of it no longer exists.”

    “But…the games we’ve sold…the user-made walkthroughs…”

    “DESTROY IT ALL. ZELDA NEVER EXISTED.”

    Pirate = Ninja
    Now come on, this is really controversial.
    This could cause as big as a storm as the Da Vinci Code.

  11. Human on September 12th, 2008 8:01 am

    Great, more 4chan material that is old.

  12. rikumelenium on September 12th, 2008 8:04 am

    ninjas are still better >_>

  13. reconer45 on September 12th, 2008 8:09 am

    Ninjas Hate Pirates. They Fight All The Time.

  14. GenEX the Hareoic on September 12th, 2008 8:09 am

    My brain hurts!

  15. Pirinja on September 12th, 2008 8:10 am

    Oh we’ve known about this for a while.

  16. Deth2Gerbilz on September 12th, 2008 8:29 am

    @vabolo

    yes, perhaps this will end flame wars, the internets will become a peaceful place….exept for /b/.

  17. Nova. on September 12th, 2008 8:52 am

    But, but… ah… it’s all making sense now.

    Wait hold on…

    Pirates = Ninjas
    Up = Down
    George Bush = Smart

    Omg! It’s making sense!

  18. Fancylad on September 12th, 2008 9:27 am

    My mind has been blown. 5/5

  19. Hariku on September 12th, 2008 9:41 am

    Oh lord…

  20. roulette25 on September 12th, 2008 9:55 am

    DEAR GOD, it all makes sense!

  21. Gates on September 12th, 2008 10:04 am

    Just because Tetra is a pirate doesn’t mean all pirates are Tetra. Same thing with Shiek and ninjas.

    Also, OoT Zelda and WW Zelda are not the same person seeing how WW takes place 200 years after OoT.

  22. MasqueNoMercy on September 12th, 2008 10:05 am

    ya see… THIS is more like it… something clever

    Agreed. If people are allowed to be offended at your 9/11 halolz, am I allowed to be offended at this?

  25. Shaide on September 12th, 2008 10:11 am

    The dispute is finally over!! .D

  26. Lekonua on September 12th, 2008 11:10 am

    Bricks = shat.

  27. Human on September 12th, 2008 11:16 am

    I am offended by this as a ninja. Take this down!

    0/5

  28. Scorpio2 on September 12th, 2008 11:46 am

    This just proves that Zelda has a split personality problem; she thinks she’s a ninja and a pirate.

    Besides, she’s a ninja, b/c ninja can disguise themselves as anything, including pirates. But pirates can’t do that.

    Therefore, it’s still ninja > pirate.

  29. Ridley on September 12th, 2008 11:59 am

    oic wut u did thar

  30. dekuskrub1 on September 12th, 2008 12:23 pm

    does this mean we are all equils??

    i dont like it

  31. Kevin J. on September 12th, 2008 12:27 pm

    Oh shit, my thinking thing!
    /spontaneous combustion
    @lumbersmith
    go ahead, be offended :P

  32. Romak on September 12th, 2008 12:30 pm

    Pirates win in multiple categories (i.e. economy and culture) whereas ninjas can only win in war. WE’VE SACKED CITIES, for cripes sakes!

  33. Dracula on September 12th, 2008 1:09 pm

    @Human

    Dude…..You aren’t a ninja.

  34. Pauld'Arbonne on September 12th, 2008 1:47 pm

    By god! Hell has frozen over! It’s the apocalypse!
    lol good submission though, I never thought about that before. Zelda is truly the greatest princess ever.

  35. FrEEz on September 12th, 2008 1:57 pm

    I’m not sure what to say. Okay; Pirates=Ninjas. Err then what? :S Meh it’s good, but confusing. 4/5

  36. FrEEz on September 12th, 2008 2:32 pm

    Does anyone wonder where Nintendo are going with this? I’ve seen 2 very convincing zelda timeline videos but hope Nintendo go somewhere and not just create more and more zeldas which are completely unrelated to everything (like the windwaker and phantom hourglass, although PH was awesome.) Hopefully the next zelda game, or the one after it, will link (no pun intended) everything together. It would be like “The Legend of Zelda: Chain of History” or something like that.

  37. zinraidragon on September 12th, 2008 2:34 pm

    @reconer45
    Yes, but it’s more of a sibling rivalry, it all makes sense thanks to this equation lol

  38. Glitch on September 12th, 2008 2:57 pm

    WW is far after Ocarina of time. This proves is that pirates are decended from ninjas

  39. NCHammer326 on September 12th, 2008 2:57 pm

    While we’re at it:

    Black=White
    Dog=Cat
    Mario=Bowser
    Rush Limbaugh=Gandhi

  40. Kreachure on September 12th, 2008 3:07 pm

    Anyone who doesn’t lol at this didn’t really get it (or doesn’t get the internet).

    The Internet shall never be the same after this…

  41. Trent on September 12th, 2008 3:17 pm

    Great submission.

    Except totally and utterly WRONG.

    Thanks. :D

    Besides…how many ninjas you seen with wooden legs?..none.. because they never lose em.. how did a pirate lose his?…cuz of a ninja.

    Nuff said.

  42. Red on September 12th, 2008 3:37 pm

    You can’t argue with maths.

  45. Dan on September 12th, 2008 3:55 pm

    It’s like the proof that Stevie Wonder is God. (God is love, love is blind, Stevie Wonder is blind, therefore Stevie Wonder is God) As a fan of both visual jokes and first order logic I gave this 5/5.

  46. Someguy503 on September 12th, 2008 4:02 pm

    NO WAI!!!!

  47. Abbot on September 12th, 2008 4:30 pm

    I asgree… Zelda definitely has a split personality.

    Oh, btw…I know where you live…

  49. worksforme on September 12th, 2008 4:45 pm

    Holy crap…. you just unified the internet….

  50. Myrmidont on September 12th, 2008 4:49 pm

    Except Ninjas aren’t anything special. They’re just samurais who did stealth and assassination missions.

  51. That Guy on September 12th, 2008 5:53 pm

    This is genious!

  52. KidWithTheFace on September 12th, 2008 6:00 pm

    @FrEEz
    how about “a link to the past”?

    also, i am forced to now assume that WW was just propaganda for boozin. happy friday!

  53. Deth2Gerbilz on September 12th, 2008 6:32 pm

    @myrmidont

    yeah but whats better

    stealthy samurai ninja mans
    or
    stinky drunk guys with swords

  54. Segasonicdude on September 12th, 2008 6:34 pm

    Hehe Zelda Plays for Both Sides

  55. G1drake on September 12th, 2008 6:41 pm

    ebtendido, now i get it

  56. Chuck Norris on September 12th, 2008 6:46 pm

    Everyone is forgetting that the ultimate force is the cowboy. Why?

    Yours truly.

  57. Halolz on September 12th, 2008 6:47 pm

    @Chuck Norris

    The Joker is a cowboy?

  58. Paulrus on September 12th, 2008 6:58 pm

    And thus, 1+1=3.

    5/5

  59. InvisibleMan on September 12th, 2008 7:01 pm

    I AM ERROR.

  60. Shadow Link on September 12th, 2008 7:12 pm

    As much as I like this, the logic is flawed. All Tetras may be pirates, but not all pirates are Tetras. Same for the Shiek/ninja thing.

    5/5, for the LULZ, though.

  61. KingofRetards on September 12th, 2008 7:18 pm

    I AM SO OFFENDED! Not only did you make fun of pirates; YOU MADE FUN OF NINJAS!!!1!1!1!!one!!1111!!1!9/1111!!11!1! FLAME FLAME FLAME FLAME FLAME (nah j/k 5/5)

  62. MexicanJuice on September 12th, 2008 7:50 pm

    OMG. NINJAS AND PIRATES ARE ONE! No wonder they’re equally awesome! It finally makes sense!

  63. Evitron on September 12th, 2008 7:51 pm

    MY BRAIN SHE IS IMPLODED

  64. Ripshot on September 12th, 2008 8:01 pm

    fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

  65. Ripshot on September 12th, 2008 8:02 pm

    OWAIT
    it’s a different Zelda in wind waker, she can’t turn into Shiek

    LOGIC FLAW’D

  66. pbbbbbbt on September 12th, 2008 8:03 pm

    HA HA! PEG FACES FOR EVERYONE!

  67. Mining4Soup on September 12th, 2008 8:04 pm

    Pirates… Ninjas… a Jedi thinks not of these things

  68. Scorpio2 on September 12th, 2008 8:46 pm

    I know where you live too….well, the general idea, mebbe i won’t get lost next time

  69. Abbot on September 12th, 2008 8:47 pm

    Try to use a correct map next time.

  70. Haywire on September 12th, 2008 8:48 pm

    HOLY FUCK, EVERYTHING I KNOW IS A LIE.

  71. Scorpio2 on September 12th, 2008 8:49 pm

    @Abbot
    I don’t need no stinkin’ map. you live in the middle of no where and they don’t mark that on maps cept with “Here Be Dragons”

  72. Abbot on September 12th, 2008 8:50 pm

    @Scorpio2

    You mean “nowhere”

    Makes sense to me….

  76. carl on September 12th, 2008 9:50 pm

    Pirates
    Ninjas
    Robots
    why cant we just all live together in harmony and refer to them as to what they truly are
    Gods

  77. Doc ock rock on September 12th, 2008 11:58 pm

    …Now on to samurai and vikings

  78. Yggdrasil on September 13th, 2008 12:04 am

    This puts the conflict in a different perspective, not end it: is it Pirates = Ninjas or Ninjas = Pirates?

  79. Yggdrasil on September 13th, 2008 12:06 am

    @Haywire
    Including the cake.

  80. Solar Zero on September 13th, 2008 12:16 am

    Are we so sure to not say that the two are equal, but rather that the two are the same thing? Ooooooo

  81. Shadow Link on September 13th, 2008 1:58 am

    @Abbot

    STOP HAVING SO CLOSE TO MY NAME, plz. It’s creepy to be skimming and then suddenly come across that.

    J/k. :P

    (But it does trip me up, though.)

  82. FalconCrunch on September 13th, 2008 6:13 am

    So what I am getting at is that in order for a ninja to become a pirate I must accept that he must (step one) bring about some unknown feminine side by what most brilliant minds consider a mathematical impossibility (step two) further indulge in the acts of cross-dressing which probably involve drunken kaoroke nights singing some archaic tune of some diva (step three) Develop a disease that turns him into a midget AND become diagnosed with a massive case of elephantitis of the skull (step four) Lose a leg, grow a beard and hang around on a ship for months/years with former ninjas of similar issues?

    I deny your hypothesis on the grounds of mathematical impossibilities of step one. You fail at bringing harmony to the masses

  83. gunsandblades on September 13th, 2008 9:45 am

    i would like to nitpick here and say there is no commas or therefores in this equaation, show your work please

  84. Teradohn on September 13th, 2008 11:04 am

    Oh my gawd! IT ALL MAKES SENSE!!

  85. CaptainBaconMan on September 13th, 2008 6:11 pm

    Damnit I was going to post this. This was ripped from 4chan though. I saw the discussion about it.

  86. Robotpirateninja on September 13th, 2008 7:26 pm

    :O

  87. Animedevildog on September 13th, 2008 10:01 pm

    All this pirate vs. Ninja arguments make me wanna break out Mr. Rogers in his blood stained sweater to kick some serious ass!

  88. Burnt Eyes on September 14th, 2008 1:34 am

    If Ninja=Pirate, then
    Spy=Engineer? maybe?

  92. Teradohn on September 14th, 2008 9:14 pm

    @Miketuu
    Hmm… If it can be proven, it will be posted.

  93. pbbbbbbt on September 14th, 2008 11:24 pm

  94. Human on September 15th, 2008 5:20 am

    Animedevildog, the only guy who can whine about 9-11 jokes and make fun of the late Mr. Rodgers at the same time.

  95. Animedevildog on September 15th, 2008 2:29 pm

    At least I have yet to make a crack about a baby back rib stand next to a clinic…
    Did I just say that outloud???

  96. Archwright on September 15th, 2008 2:33 pm

    Actually, we’ll only have a problem if Zelda ends up as a cowgirl in the next game.

    …oh shit…what have I just done?

  97. Archwright on September 15th, 2008 2:34 pm

    Although, I cannot recommend googling Zelda + cowgirl.

  98. Animedevildog on September 15th, 2008 4:10 pm

    OMFG!!! I googled Zelda + cowgirl… O.O
    If you do it, make sure safe search is ON!!!

  99. Hobbs on September 17th, 2008 10:43 pm

    I printed this and took it to my math teacher. He made it clear that this has nothing to do with math. I took it to my history teacher. She found it odd that samurai weren’t in the sequence. I took it to my local mcdonalds. The cashier had some sort of mental breakdown. And he wouldn’t give me a cheese burger. Is that two words? Cheese…Burger. Hmm….

  100. LaundryMan on September 23rd, 2008 6:41 pm

    Hmm…
    Okay.

  101. dekuskrub1 on September 25th, 2008 10:23 am

    i dont think its the same zelda or link in each game

    cuz what r the chances that link is the chosen one like 20 times over?

    plus in twilight princess when u get the forest clothes they say they were worn by the hero of time a looooong time ago

  102. Logan on September 28th, 2008 4:00 pm

    If you ask me wind waker should’ve been taken out of the legend of Zelda series. It sucked BIG TIME.

  103. Mega Robinson Man on September 28th, 2008 8:11 pm

    Just googled Zelda + cowgirl. Got nothing. Stop lying to the masses Animedevildog and Archwright
    Now….
    Damn you math.
    DONT SCREW WITH THE NATURAL ORDER!!!!

  104. Sir Calibur on September 30th, 2008 7:00 pm

    @Logan

    How did WW suck? It was easy (ok, it was impossible to die easy) but it was fun and the art style was majorly cool.

  105. VDOgAmfrEk on October 4th, 2008 11:35 pm

    Wait…so if Pirate=Tetra…then tetra=zelda…then…wait…math is failing me…

    a=b
    b=c
    c=d
    d=e
    e=f
    a=f?

  106. Random Man on October 12th, 2008 7:02 pm

    So being a ninja is that easy? I have to be a pirate when I’m a kid, then grow up to become a princess, then I can be a ninja?!… Wait a minute, I can’t be a princess, I’m way too sexy… And a man!

  107. Willow on October 13th, 2008 6:54 am

    about pirates being manly i think that they are really girly infact with all the frills and such..

  108. deadtreekid on October 17th, 2008 12:12 pm

    Well, technically, Tetra was Zelda’s, what was it, great great great grandkid or something? so really she can be a pirate and zelda could be a ninja but it wouldn’t mean that pirates = ninjas. this proof explodes in the third step. =P

  109. arghtoknoobs on October 29th, 2008 5:10 pm

    Logic does not equal truths fools!

    let me show you in a simple example:

    All A is B.
    B is C
    All A is C

    Superman is from krypton
    All kryptonians are women
    Superman is a woman

    Logical, however not true.

  110. Klonoa on October 29th, 2008 9:54 pm

    Holy Jesus it’s all making sense now! Tetra is a pirate… Tetra is toon Zelda. Toon Zelda is Zelda… Zelda is sheik… Sheik is a ninja… Pirates are Ninjas.

  111. Exploderizer on November 4th, 2008 10:45 am

    EMO PIRATES.
    They’re being WAY too hard on themselves.

  112. Teradohn on November 8th, 2008 1:35 pm

    Now we need one that proves Sonic = Mario. >__________<

  113. Dark Light on November 12th, 2008 11:53 pm

    However, if this even works out, we all know that Ninjas are MORE equal than pirates…

  114. Jykcor on November 13th, 2008 5:23 pm

    Pirate=Ninja
    Macs=PC’s
    God=Devil
    America=Russia

    Truth=Lies
    Blind=sight

    Does that mean Zelda's emo?

  124. Purplemon739 on January 10th, 2009 12:40 pm

    So, basically what you're saying is that every blind person in the world is God… Hmmm…

  125. Mike on January 12th, 2009 2:50 am

    No, she just forgot that Pirates hate Ninjas. But if someone tells her, the contradiction will make her mind asplode.

  126. Mike on January 12th, 2009 2:52 am

    Also, the Hyrule that the OoT Zelda lived in was buried underneath the water that became the Great Sea of WW and blah blah blah.

    We know.

    Being technical ruins jokes. If you're responding to a joke, please don't be technical.

    That, my friend, is not Disney; that's Zelda. And I resent the fact that there are no female pirates.

    I wasn't referring to Zelda. I know who Zelda is. If I didn't then I wouldn't be on this site because I'd clearly have no idea what a video game is. Disney has this whole "Pirate princess" concept. That's what I was referring to.

    Now all we must do is splice her genes with master chief's and will have created the ULTIMATE!!!!! MWHAHAHAHA!!!!!

    Uhh, no. The ninja were a group of mountain people who were harassed by city people. They developed ninjitsu in order to protect themselves. An occasional one would sell his skills, and that created the stereotype.

    Um, I don't think crossdressers can be ninjas…

    I'm a ninja and a pirate, then again, I'd be lying as a pirate and failing as a ninja, meaning I'm a normal person, which means I'm telling the truth about both, and when you find out how to get out of the infinite loop of pirates and ninjas, you shall discover that I'm actually an autistic teenage boy sitting at his dad's computer melting all of your brains using infinite loops, ninja-pirates, and reverse psychology. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a mars colony to work on.

    Pirates had rum.
    Rum > Pirates > Ninjas
