Zelda Informer: "“Hey!” “Watch out!” Fans of Ocarina of Time likely read the first three words of this article in Navi's voice. Navi aids Link in his quest to fight Ganondorf, but at the end of Ocarina of Time, the fairy mysteriously leaves Link behind. I wanted to delve into what I consider the underlying reason Link went after Navi.
In Ocarina of Time, Link grows up as an outcast in his own village. He's different from the Kokiri for two reasons: first, he's a Hylian, which he figures out not long after leaving the forest; second, he doesn't have a companion fairy like the other villagers do. Eventually, the Great Deku Tree, sensing Ganondorf's evil plan kicking into high gear, sends Navi to accompany Link “the boy without a fairy.”
The two spend the entire game together, and while some fans were annoyed by the high-pitched voice of their companion, others grew to love Navi as Link's sidekick. The Hero of Time would go through much in his quest to save Hyrule from the clutches of Ganondorf, going back and forth between being a child and an adult. Navi would be there every step of the way, never faltering. This included sticking by Link through the heat of the Fire Temple, the fear of the Shadow Temple, and even the frustrations of the Water Temple."
Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
Link should have a voice in The Legend of Zelda Movie. While he mostly stays quiet in the games, he canonically does speak but usually holds back on expressing his thoughts. In a movie format, it is better for the character and the story itself that Link speaks.
I just hope it's not a bunch MCU Snarky McJokeface dialog. Started playing veilguard free on PSN (would not recommend) and it's a perfect example of how dialog in contemporary entertainment is garbage.
Many games have come and gone as gaming began its illustrious history in this world. So let's talk about the top 100 video games of all time!
Yeah. That’s the first I’ve seen it anywhere near #1.
Mario 64 is great but I wouldn’t put it over Mario World.
Sorry lol. I wrote the article but 5 of us voted for many different games and majority went on the list then we worked on the list. If it were just my personal top favorite we'd seen some xenoblade and star ocean as well as some others. Thanks for checking out it!
Navi;
Still a better follower than Lydia from Skyrim.
It's a tough call as to which partner is my favorite in the series.
I kinda liked the spunky attitudes of Midna and Tatl.
Navi was a good partner but lacked personality in comparison.
And I would have loved Fi if she wasn't the Queen of the Redundant Statement Empire.
Navi was classic. My favorite was easily the snarky hat, Ezlo, though.
I only liked one follower. Navi is annoying, Minda was annoying and riding around on you in Wolf form was demeaning, Fi was almost as annoying that Navi. I liked the King of Red Lions, he only talked when story progression was going on or when you asked for tips. His role in the story was so awesome and a nice twist to the story, and when you got off the boat to go to a town or dungeon...he didn't follow you and pester you like all the rest did. I get that they give like a follower to be his voice in the game but I really wish they would do a 3D one where like the 2D ones, he didn't have a follower and he was on his own with tip locations Throughout the world.
