lol If i close my eyes and remember i can still hear her saying that

The thing with Navi is that she represents the moment the Zelda games adapted tutorials.

The original Zelda for the Nes was an open world with no guide, the Snes Zelda started adding markers to the map and giving you more guidance BUT they still didn't need a tutorial character.

Skip to the next gen and now almost every game is including a tutorial and back then since tutorials were a fairly new thing players didn't mind it much, until Navi that is.

This the first time Link ever needed a guide to baby him around.
it changed the tone of the series, Link was always a character that never needed a guide before, he only relied on you, the player, but now here he is listening to a dumb fairy telling him what to do and imposing herself with her "Hey Listen!"

She annoyed me during the game. i did find her useful at parts but on other parts she was a nuisance.
