The line comes from The Legend of Zelda animated television series from 1989, where Link repeats it as his catchphrase whenever Princess Zelda scolds him for being lazy or reckless. Unlike the mostly silent hero in the games, this cartoon Link is cocky and constantly flirting, making the retort define his personality. Clips of the show later circulated online as a meme, and the phrase survived long after the short lived series ended because gamers kept quoting it as the ultimate sarcastic reply to being told off.
