Meaning of "Link Worships Jesus in Zelda" Meme

This meme contains a screenshot from a Legend of Zelda game guide in which the character Link is praying before a crucifix of Jesus. The soyjack and chad at the bottom are commentary on the scene, present only in the Japanese version of the game guide, in which the soyjack dislikes positive depictions of Christianity in media he consumes.

The background for this meme comes from information found on the following archived wikiw page on Christianity within the Zelda universe:

"Christianity was the intended religion of the Legend of Zelda series prior to the creation of the Golden Goddesses. Based on the real world religion, its existence is very vague, but it is implied throughout the early installments of the series."

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Although this game rang in the religion of the Golden Goddesses and the Triforce, official artwork was released regardless that depicted Link kneeling before a crucifix.
