I don't know where I'm going with this, but I couldn't find a good Zelda thread to vent my frustration.

I started playing Twilight Princess, but when Ocarina of Time came out on the VC, I bought it and stopped playing TP because I wanted the full experience.

And let me tell you, from someone who has never played or experienced Ocarina before... it's fun, and I can see where Twilight Princess got it's inspiration, but what really gets me...

...is that I need to murder that f*cking "HEY, LISTEN!" fairy.

    I don't notice Navi.




    At all. My brain is immune to her "heying" and "listen-ing"

    Navi isn't that annoying. Sure, she keeps reminding you where to go instead letting you go fishing or play around but she's usually tolerable.

    She scared me once though. I was slowly creeping through a room that I knew had wallmasters and suddenly HEY! I almost jumped out of my chair. She just wanted to warn me about the wallmasters.

    Exactly. I just find it weird that people bitch so much about her when there's that goddamn fucking owl to bitch about instead.

    The owl isn't as prevalent. I just got to the part where I can hear all the "gossip" and got his true name.

    The only reason for him is to intro you to each section and to substitute for Epona when you're young.

    Basically, I've been playing... a lot... and Navi has to remind me every morning that there's a frozen wind blowing, or that a sage is waiting for me, or whatever.

    I just want to take a tennis racket to her.

    I'm hearing impaired and really couldn't understand Navi, anyway. Never thought she was an issue until I read about her on the interwebs.

    I do have to wonder what she sounds like on the foreign language versions of OoT.

    I think if you have played lots of Zelda before OOT, she gave you mostly unneeded help, and forced it upon you.

    Plus, "hey listen" is a damn anoying voice sample.

    I've had no problems with it, but I've never played the ports; playing using the special Wii component cables; I see a little white artifacting at polygonal corners, but that's about it.

    I haven't played the GC version(s,) but there is this horrible, horrible crackle every goddamn time you enter the menu. I regret getting this one the VC.

    The fight itself, I'm not so sure.

    The little sequence before it starts, definitely.

    Awful, awful flashbacks to having no idea what to do in the Water Temple and running around Hyrule seeing if there was some item I forgot to get.

    Hey!

    Listen!

    Those iron boots look pretty heavy!

    Wind Waker was pretty awesome, but Ocarina was far and away the most epic thing anyone had ever seen in a video game up to that point it time. That kind of experience is pretty hard to top.

    Yes.

    One thing they fixed in Twilight Princess (never played Majora's Mask; can't remember if it happens in Wind Waker) was that the boots became an ITEM so you don't have to hit start to change clothes all the time.

    Having JUST BEAT IT, the problem with the Water Temple in OoT is threefold:
    1 - There is a pit in the central column that isn't evident because it's covered by a floating block.
    2 - If you start over, you 100% forget that the room you met Ruto in has three levels and you can go UP.
    3 - You don't realize till later that the item in the Water Temple is an EXTENSION to the hookshot; chances to use the extension are more prevalent than the fact that an extension exists in the first place.

    Having said that; any tips for fishing as Adult Link? I can't get the damn fish to bite.

    The final boss of Ocarina of Time was terrible. It was easier than most of the normal bosses throughout the game.
    And I hate the "load-bearing boss" syndrome and the fact that ninja-Zelda suddenly becomes so weak and girly.

    The final boss of Twilight Princess wasn't difficult but it was exciting and fun.

    And Wind Waker final boss is the best of all.

    Navi was annoying at times, but i would stop playing for a while, pick back up a few days or weeks later and not remember what the hell i was doing. and of course Navi to the rescue.

    I'll never forget the very first time when I ran out of magic potions and ran around screaming like a little girl for an hour before collapsing (read: resetting). I was twelve at the time.

    I agree with that so much. Wind Waker suffered from that too, though, especially the second bit.

    Still...

    Almost beat the OoT Shadow Temple.

    Boss? Hard.

    Speculation on "unreachable" items? I bet I have to do-over this temple in miniature form.

    Question If a gold spider appears on the map, does that mean I have cleared all the Gold Skulltulas from that map?

    True that. The first time I died because I kept falling in the pools of poisonous fumes. The Shadow Temple was my least favorite dungeon because of OH SHIT WALL MASTERS.

    Yeah, actually I liked Navi too, and felt close to her by the end of the game. I might feel different if I replayed it now, though.

    I even named my car Navi.

    I liked Navi because it gave Link a companion on his quest that he could interact with. I understand the sentiment someone said about feeling close to Navi by the end of the game.

    Hell, I prefer Navi to Midna - although I'm only about 40% of the way through TP.

    I like Navi, but on anything other than the first playthrough, she drives me insane. "I know! I know where to go! I've played this game several hundred times! SHUT UP!!!"

    Same with Kaepora Gaebora, though he annoyed me instantly. I kept pressing B to shut him up, too D:

    ...and I thought of how all those people died, and what a good death that is. That nobody can blame you for it, because everyone else died along with you, and it is the fault of none, save those who did the killing.
