Navi

Well, it is clear most of the people hate Navi for her voice clips. I don't feel this way, it never bothered me and until people started complaining i had never even considered it to be molest.

Am I the only one that loves Navi? She marked the first time I experienced speech in a video game and I always have loved Navi and though of her as being one of the best characters in the series. Her concept was awesome as well they even copied it in MM and PH. It's a shame other Zelda games don't have fairies because of the lacking kokiri back story....

But my question is, did anyone else enjoy Navi?

no everyone thought she was annoying and obscured your vision and told you useless facts

I've never had a problem with Navi. I didn't like the fact that she would interupt the game sometimes even if you didn't call on her, but other than that she's fine by me.

The first time through the game they were not so useless where they?

Yeah they were for example you would be trying to sneak past guards in hyrule castle and navi would say "hey link we should go to hyrule castle" and since you were already there it would be useless

I liked navi and thought it was funny when she messed up.

I was in the shadow temple, and I was showing my friend some stuff, so I left, and once I got to the main graveyard Navi was like "Have you used that spell to teleport to the graveyard?"

Navi can be helpful, but is very annoying.

ZU went over that (^) quote when ZU started. (When Lars was in charge.)

Your not alone, I dont havea problem with navi. I honestly dont find her anoying. In fact, tatel, who most people think of as an impovement, I find a step backwards! I do like the times where she actualy speaks up in a scripted event, such as in the begining with the deku tree and right before you fight ganondorf.

I don't "hate" Navi she justs gets annoying sometimes. But there is a remedy known as either:
a)mute your television
or
b)turn the volume all the way down
then again there is also:
c)Suck it up and move on! If you cannot stand annoying noises then your life may turn out to be a living hell.

Looking back, Navi wasn't a bad idea. For example, if stop playing Ocarina of Time for a while, and forget where you are, Navi will help you remember.

Yeah, but she did sort of point out the obvious.

But, a few times I didn't realize there were bars on the doors.

I actually attempted to break through it, even after the second time playing...

Didn't really bother me, unless I wanted to look in 1st person and she started talking..

I reckon Midna did a good job of filling her place though.

I like Navi. Her "Hey! Listen!" can be annoying, but it's better than Tatl's stupid bell noise. Now sometimes my brother yells "Hey! Listen!" randomly at me.

You should talk to your brother about insanity. Maybe he'll understand.

Just joking.

Trust me, he is insane. >.<

I like navi. She is way better then tatl and minda. Tatl is rude and minda is annoying, especially when she tells you to hurry up when she is still talking.

I'm pretty much the same way you are. I wasn't bothered once by Navi's warnings in the game, I didn't pay that sort of attention to them to notice if they were annoying to me or not. Then, I find that all these complainers across the Internet are hating her for these reasons. Okay, it pretty much sucked that she couldn't exactly offer her help with a number of the bosses, but she respected Link through it all and helped in much better ways than the latest craze, Midna, ever will.

When OoT 1st came out Navi was only slighlty annoying to me. But now, years later, she symbolizes the dumbing down of the franchise. Navi, Tatl, Midna, they are nothing more than guides that tell you where to go next. I prefer my Link to go on his adventures alone. Not have some fairy or whatever walk him through the journey.

I did like Navi, the first playthrough I asked her about any new enemy I met, just out of curiosity. I thought she was more useful than annoying.

Having played OoT many times, now I find her somewhat annoying. Though only the things she says automatically get on my nerves. Such as, "You can open a door by standing in front of it and pressing A" or "Watch for the shadows of monsters that hang from the ceiling!" Sure, that was useful the first playthrough, but now... The "Hey! Listen!" thing never really bothered me too much. Just a random noise in the game. (My phone says "Hey! Hey! Listen!" when I get an SMS. )

That's a good point. Sure, if I don't know where to go, it's nice to have someone tell me, but doing it all the time without even giving the chance to find your own way takes away from the fun. Having the guides make it feel like the game is pushing you forward, with whoeverguide telling you what to do next, and constantly reminding you if you go take some time off.
