Lonk is a fan-made caricature of Link from The Legend of Zelda, characterized by its intentionally low-quality and derpy appearance. The character first gained internet fame in 2014 when a Mii creation of Link, named Lonk, began circulating from the Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS demo. Known for the iconic phrase Lonk from Pennsylvania, the meme parodies the polished aesthetic of the Zelda franchise with crude proportions and a vacant expression. It serves as a staple of internet derp culture, often used alongside other misspelled characters like Zorldo to subvert heroic tropes with absurd, low-effort humor.
