Link was looking for navi.

lots of people still dont believe that the invaluable friend that link was looking for was navi. well, i have pretty much solid proof:

"Months after parting ways with his fairy sidekick, Navi, in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Link sets off to search for his missing companion. But what he finds instead are a pair of pixie pranksters."

this is what it says in the official nintendo guide to Majoras Mask.
so anyone who thinks otherwise, please, post below. i will be glad to accept you're theories.

Navi at the end of OOT get lost in the temple of time dungeon. And Link in MM start his quest for Navi.

perhaps svb, but i dont think a fairy would be like

"oh lets fly out this window...hmm..whats this place? watev, ima go get lost..."

but i guess it is possible. navi always was kinda dumb.

Yes I've always believed that Navi was the person Link was looking for, it just seems too obious to me!
I cant believe some people actually thinks it was the Skull Kid , I heard someone say he thought it was Saria! WTF

1. Isn't that canon, but
2. there's a lot pointing on it. However, this isn't the solidifying coup de grace.

What isn't that canon? The manual? I'm pretty sure an explicit statement is solid proof.

He isn't talking about the manual though... he's talking about the Players guide.

Well duh.

What else would Link be doing in such a mysterious place? Looking for his parents when he knows that they were last seen dead at least 10 or 11 years ago?

If Navi chose to live with Link after his time travelling adventure in OoT, then Link would never have to leave to Termina.

guys, its canon. official nintendo guidebook.

Idk if you could consider the player's guide canon. Especially an NoA one.

Meh, I think it's a minor detail anyway.
However, the fact that they make the fairy sound effect right when it says Link is looking for his companion, and there are no true indications that he's looking for anyone else...well yeah. I see no reason to believe it was someone other than Navi.

Well, the fairy sound effect could refer to the place link was when MM starts. Tatl and Tael were there, right?

But yeah, it's definitively Navi he's looking for. Who else could it be? Skull kid? Were they good enough friends for link to go on a journey to find? I don't think so.

Also, Japanese text and Jumbie's translation of that scene:

冒険の終わりで　別れた　かけかえのない　友を探す旅に……
A journey in search of an irreplaceable friend he had parted with at the end of the adventure...

This perfectly describe Navi. They parted as soon as he returned to his own time.

While I agree with everyone here, I'd like to point out why the players Guide isn't Canon...

OoT's ocarina is actually the flute found in ALttP

Hyrule suffered a harsh period of floods, famine, cold, and plage, but then a wizzard named Aganim can and cured all the troubles, naming him a royal advisor to the king...

If Aganim could cure the plage, then I doubt he'd have a hard time taking over Hyrule...

Also

A Wizzard apeared out of no-where, and with mysterios powers, killed the good king of Hyrule...

This signifies to me that
Players Guide =/= Canon

I'm not sure what your point is about Agahnim...?
Agahnim did stop the "plague", though Japanese text only says he stopped a "blaze of unknown origin", or something to that effect. I don't think it's ever directly stated that he killed the King, but just removed him [in the Japanese text]. Either way, that info is fairly accurate.

My point is that the game says he apeared out of nowhere whereas the players guide, says he bacame a trusted advisor to the king...

Agahnim did stop the "plague",

OOOOO>OOOOO

He did WHAT?!?

Source please...

Um, he DID become the king's advisor. He came from nowhere, stopped the various bad things that were happening, was appointed to the position of "priest" by the King and made an advisor, then he did away with the King and took the throne for his own.

Then, like a comet, a man named Agahnim appeared, and ended the catastrophes with a curious magic. The people heralded him as a hero; the King proclaimed him to be the second coming of the seven sages, appointed him priest, and invited him to the castle

...oh.


and ah to the whole other thing...

I guess that the players guides are Canon after all.

The great deku tree told navi to help him complete his journey.
The great deku tree is basically father of the forest and Navi must obey.
So after Link saves everyone , his quest is finished.
Thus freeing navi.

Im not so sure that navi would be mean enough to run off like that , but fairies in termina clearly show proof of that.

And even if she wasn't trying to be mean , she would have a reason for leaving link.

Or perhaps link is such a baby that he worries over navi so quickly (like the day after the game) and tries to find her in the woods.
