Even though, at times, you may have been a bit much, we needed you.
She also allowed you to communicate with Saria and ultimately gained the courage to aid Link in his final fight with Ganon. She was always there for him through the darkest of times, locking onto enemies and giving details about them. Navi was a true friend and ally to Link through and through. But-let’s say-your neighbor had a GameShark and you happened to borrow it just to see what would happen, and you used the aforementioned GameShark to jump to the Ocarina of Time endgame but the cheats broke Navi into reminding you that “ You need to go save Princess Ruto in Jabu Jabu’s Belly” over and over and over again… that might (hypothetically) get annoying real quick. If you progressed through the game as the developers intended, it might not have been so bad. Her signature catchphrase will haunt gamers forever. So many of us are haunted by her yelling, “Hey! Listen!!!” as she CONSTANTLY reiterates the task at hand. Navi will quickly remind you of everything you need to be doing… maybe a bit too much. One day Link is awakened by Navi, who is sent by the dying Great Deku Tree to officially be Link’s guardian fairy. Link, sadly, is the only kid who doesn’t have a fairy. In the beginning of Ocarina of Time, Link lives in Kokiri Forest where all of the children are assigned a fairy by the Great Deku Tree. This was, of course, the notorious fairy that gamers love, hate, and love to hate: Navi.
BREATHEDGE CHAPTER 2 ENDGAME3 SERIES
The Legend of Zelda may be turning 35, but it wasn’t until the series was 12 years old that Link gained his first partner in crime on his journey to save Zelda. Let’s saddle up, grab a Lon Lon Milk, and jump back in time as we celebrate the history of Link’s companions! Navi After all, what is a hero without his sidekick? However, for as much attention as Zelda and Link get, some of the best moments in the Zelda franchise are courtesy of Link’s many companions. With such a vast collection of games comes an incredible cast of characters. It’s no wonder Zelda remains one of the best gaming franchises of all time. We’ve traversed the land of Hyrule to defeat the evil Ganondorf and save Princess Zelda, time traveled, traversed dungeons, made gross food, made good food, awakened a Wind Fish, and so much more. Over the years, we’ve done so much with Link and his friends. It feels like only yesterday that we were given our first sword and told, “It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this.” For 35 years the Zelda franchise has held its place as one of the most legendary godfathers of gaming.
