Hollow Knight memes stem from Team Cherry's critically acclaimed metroidvania, characterized by its challenging difficulty and deep lore. Common tropes include the Knight's silent demeanor, Hornet's iconic 'Git Gud' or 'Shaw!' shouts, and the endless community wait for the sequel, Silksong. The templates often juxtapose the game's cute aesthetic with its punishing gameplay or existential themes like 'No mind to think, no will to break.' These memes serve as a badge of honor for players who have conquered the depths of Hallownest or find themselves eternally lost in the Fog Canyon.
