Yes, Zelda's Navi Can Actually Be More Irritating

[vimeo=22768701]​

Navi was annoying as a little fairy, and she's worse as a large, bearded man.

Some might argue that Navi, Link's fairy companion in the classic Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is actually one of the best sidekicks in the history of gaming [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_268/8026-Hey-Listen-I-Like-Navi]. Others would say that they just wanted to cram her into a bottle to shut the damn thing up.

Either way, bashing Navi is a long and storied tradition among the gaming community. A video by amateur filmmakers Humble Punch [http://vimeo.com/user5920066] does an excellent job at showing us all how annoying the fairy could potentially be - if she were not in fact a tiny fairy, but a larger man with a beard.

The video itself was posted two months ago, but it's only just now started to make the rounds - so here it is. We thought you might enjoy spending Friday afternoon watching a grown man yell shrilly at another man in a(n actually rather well-made) Link costume.

You know, I think this video makes me appreciate Navi as-is just a little bit more.

HAHAHAha! that's well done

 

[Chibz]

It's well done, but exactly as annoying as small Navi.

 

[Riku'sTwilight]

Ahh that Man-Navi has got to be given kudos for the high pitched yells of 'HEY LISTEN!' he kept having to do.

Damn that Mannavi is annoying.

It reminds me of this:

 

[Atheist.]

I was just waiting for him to get smacked in the face by Link's shield.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

I used to have the LTTP sound for "Found a treasure!" as my text and IM sound, but a week ago I changed it to Hey! Listen! from Ocarina

I love it.
Ringtone: Awaken - Dethklok.

Nice touch with the charlie brown music

 

[DustyDrB]

Navi hate: One of those things I never heard of until I started getting on the internet.

And a very Arrested Development-like use of the Charlie Brown Christmas song there.

 

[antipunt]

God, my brain hurts. No joke

 

[VanityGirl]

Is it bad that I snorted laughing at this?

 

[standokan]

Navi is still missing a tutu, because every big man with wings so far has also had a tutu, it's obligatory.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Ha funny video, if Navi was ever that big in the game she would be better serve as a meat sheild.

 

[Aerograt]

The video aside, everyone who thinks Navi is the most annoying video game character always forgets about this

guy.

 

[ragawolf]

the last HEY scared me

 

[PrinceofPersia]

the last HEY scared me

Agreed, I was digging the peace and quiet then HEY LISTEN! Almost punched my screen, dangit Navi stop being so annoying.

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

Navi never annoyed me... I loved her.

Damn video isn't loading. Stupid internet.

 

[Drakmeire]

I never had a problem with Navi, from what I can tell her interruptions were caused by a common glitch that happened to occur in most copies of Ocarina of time so she never really bugged me ever.

Spoiler: In the Zelda franchise there are still even more irritating characters
