I fell from that that tiny walkway room in the fire temple alllll the way back to the big entrance room.

It took me several hours to get up there (I suck). When I got back, first thing I did...was run and fall down again.

I ragequitted. When I picked the game again the next day, I warped the fuck out of there and completed every possible sidequest and dungeon without the fucking fire temple. I think I had to go back because either the shadow or spirit temple required a hammer smash on a switch or something.

Anyway, the many many hours I played included Navi not shutting the fuck up about the clouds over death mountain. So I agree with the meme

I much preferred Tatl. She didn't endlessly remind you of your current objective while you were trying to sidequest, I found the light jingling sound much less grating than Navi's "HEY LISTEN", and Tatl actually had a personality (even if that personality was "snarky jackass").

They are made to help guide players along through every bit of the game. While Navi had next to no relevance to the plot and was just a helper, at this point, companions have become woven into the storylines to the point where everyone will expect them now.

On an unrelated note, I really hope the next Zelda game borrows more the original NES Zeldas in terms of throwing you into a big world without much to guide you. Fi in Skyward Sword proved that they are trying to cater way too much to a new audience, when most people playing Zelda games have been fans for decades.

A YouTube user named Matthewmatosis did a series of five videos, each one covering the 3D Zeldas, with the videos being about 30 minutes long each. They are definitely worth checking out if you have the time. In it, he points out the weird contrast between Twilight Princess's harsh art style and blindingly easy gameplay. He said it makes sense for Wind Waker to be easy because the art style suggests a friendlier tone, but Twilight Princess had the darkest aesthetics of the series up to that point and was even easier than Wind Waker.

This is incredibly minor, but everyone on the Internet seems to think Navi says "Hey, listen!", when the two are always separate and never said at once. "Hey!" to alert you, and "Listen!" when you listen to what she says. She doesn't always say those two either, but the Internet would have you believe that she literally says nothing but "Hey, listen!"

Anonymous Wed Apr 10 18:57:36 2013 No.414781

Navi annoyed the fuck out of me only because I thought it was retarded you could only lock on to whatever she was highlighting at the time. There were a few occasions playing the game when an enemy would clearly be in view and I would be mashing Z to lock on, but Navi would inexplicably not target for me.
I just felt the game would be much better if Z-targetting was just a normal mechanic rather than a fairy gimmick.

You've got it backwards. It isn't that you can only lock onto what she highlights, it's that she highlights what you can lock on to. She's a visual indicator to let you know what's going to happen when you press the z button. Otherwise, how will you know which enemy you're going to lock on to or if you're in range to lock on in the first place?

No, she is that annoying. When Ocarina of Time came out, I was 12 years old. It was the first game I got with my N64, and I was blown the fuck away. It was also the first 3D game of any kind I had ever owned, and I loved the fuck out of exploring every nook and cranny that world had to offer...

...so imagine how fucking annoying it is to have Navi pop up ever so often, just to remind me what I should be doing, or where I should be going, especially if I already happened to be on my way to said event/location. I understand it was the first Zelda game of its kind, and the first fully 3D adventure game, so the developers probably wanted to make sure players didn't get too lost. Her pestering isn't game breaking, and now that I know the game like the back of my hand, I rarely goof off enough to even give her a chance to start yapping, but when I was 12 years old, she was the bane of my fucking existence.

Yes, Navi, I know a cold wind is blowing from Zora's Domain. But I'm really busy right now practicing my swan dives from the top of Gerudo Valley. Please piss off.

Anonymous Thu Apr 11 01:44:18 2013 No.418191

The only time she becomes annoying is when you're out doing stuff that isn't related to the main quest. Inevitably, if you're doing side-quest/sequence breaking/dicking around, she is going to chime in with a cacophony of "HEY"s. You can ignore them for a while, but you will eventually need to use up-c to look around, and then you'll be forced to listen to her remind you of what you really should be doing right now.

I don't really mind Navi, but they could have toned down the handholding factor just a little bit. Sticking with the ALttP approach of "it's there if you need it, but you have to seek it out" would have made more sense. Yeah, Navi should be available to give you hints whenever you ask her to, but she shouldn't actively try to give you hints if you don't want them.

I'm pretty sure the point was that she serves as an in-game explanation for z-targeting. That, and you can't z-target Ganondorf because Navi can't get close enough to him, so yeah, the game mechanics are kind of tied to the character, at least in regards to the plot dynamics.

That is true, by the definition of what she is exactly. They could pop up hints on screen without her or replace her with a fucking owl or replace her with a different and more pink fairy, which by your definition could never happen since it's intrinsically linked to 'navis' existence.

> bosses are just the faces of attack patterns, etc. etc.
Whatever the fuck you're saying it's vaguely defined.
If you're suggesting that you could in fact replace the models of any attacking enemy with a giant penis named >420132 that screeches at you annoyingly but still attacks in exactly the same way, then yes that would be correct.

And just to explain this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H10Tl3sTpWM
Now if we watch this very exciting battle you'll notice navi flies up to the enemy in question with targeting rings around it and floats there. Is it nessecary that float there? Well obviously we know it's being targeting, she doesn't actually do anything but float around. So we could effectively remove her and it'd change nothing. What about before she targets, she flies up to shit and says hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey, so she's actually doing something. Could we replace hey with a beep or a ding? Damn right we could. Could still enable targeting rings in the background without her flying up to shit? Yeah. Could we indicate that something is targeted without having a fairy next to it? Yes. Can we make something flash lightly to demonstrate targeting just put a cursor of it? We could. Can link still look towards the thing he's targeting all the same? Yes.
Could we skip the beeping or noise to signal that we think they're retarded and can't figure shit out but still leave the functionality to examine something using the same button that was navi was previously assigned to? Yes.
So effectively every part of Navis existence, could be altered and changed without changing the way in which the mechanic works. Please, explain for the rest of the fucking classroom how the fuck she is now absolutely mindbogglingly necessary for those mechanics actually fucking work? Does she break the motherfucker API by not applying fairy dust to the fucking code?

Without using Z-targeting, Navi is useless, if Navi is useless she doesn't work. If Navi doesn't work every piece of code in the game breaks because everything uses Navi as basis of it's code, EVERYTHING!
You'd be crazy not to use Z-targeting.

I'm also positive that Navi exists in every other game in existence too and other games use mechanics that require Navi, like jumping in super mario brothers 1 for the NES. You might not see it, but I'm pretty sure there's a fairy telling Mario how to land. I mean how could he even jump without a fairy telling him how to jump, right?

A sword is not required to swing.

The sword itself isn't useful if the bat or other object has the same or nearly same direct functionally.

Now imagine instead of a sword, you had a vuvuzela that made noise at you for five minutes every time you swung it.
The vuvuzela's useful, right?
The attacking mechanic is useful, the damaging opponents, useful, the vuvuzela graphic and noise, not useful.

Actually, there's quite a few points where the text is unskippable even if you press b, mostly long messages when you're talking to people.

Link was the main character of the game.
He was the protagonist.
Midna was a secondary character, the deuteragonist.
She is the 'side kick' even if she's actually more powerful magic wise. She follows link. The story is central to Link, the one you control who the story is always following.
While the events that take place revolve around her and twilight and Zant. The story is about Link's involvement in that situation and he is the resolution of their problem.

Midna was my favorite sidekick.
She had high relevance to the plot, and a distinct personality.

The downside being that I remember her as also being the most UNhelpful of the sidekicks, aside from what she directly gave you in terms of game mechanics. By which I mean, she almost never gave advice, and for a lot of dungeons she'd have one or two lines dependent on story progression, so she never really gave you an idea of what you were supposed to do.
In a lot of ways that was actually very refreshing, because it meant she'd shut the hell up except for plot sequences (Fi). But every so often I wouldn't be sure what I was supposed to be doing (Water Temple), and Midna would be no help whatsoever.

I guess if you didn't like her personality, she'd be pretty annoying, too, but I always liked the snarky characters as a counterweight to Link's wide eyed heroism. Tatl was probably my second favorite sidekick.
It's not something I think they should add in every game, because it would get old pretty fast. But I wouldn't mind seeing a snarky helper character every couple games or so.

Only casuals had problems with her and the water temple, those are the same kind of idiots that found Slippy Toad and Ashley Graham annoying because they asked for help a few time.
In the vidya community if a character asks for your attention more than twice they are instantly labeled as annoying cunts.

Fuck the west, Japan doesn't have such shitty, meme-ridden audience like here.

I played OOT for the first and beat the water temple without any problem, and I only died once in the boss.
Why do people think it's so hard?
I think it was on the same level of skill as the other temples, and I actually thought it was easier than the forest temple.

The boot switching was pretty fucking annoying, though, especially with the menu taking its time to load. Thank god the remake (and Wind Waker) switched the boots to the inventory. And the whole dungeon felt sluggish because being underwater slows down everything and limits your options to the hookshot. But hard it isn't. Just boring outside of Dark Link.

Anyone who complains about Navi needs to play Skyward Sword. I was never annoyed by Navi. Even as a seven year old, I was not bothered by her. She was not a problem. Fi on the other hand was absolutely unbearable. UN FUCKING BEARABLE. I hate having to watch a little cutscene just for Fi to tell me something I ALREADY FUCKING KNOW FROM SEEING THE CUTSCENE. And that robot that forned over her...Oh my fucking...

tl;dr Navi gave me no problems.

I certainly don't think the water temple was EASY. I sometimes see people say "it wasn't hard, just confusing", which is just laughable to me, because if you found the temple confusing I think it's fair to say you found it hard.

Again it wasn't HARD, but I do remember a few points that took me a bit of time. In order to get to dark link, you need two keys; one is under the rising platform in the middle pillar; the other is on the middle floor of the room where you met ruto (you have to bomb the crack in the wall). i found both tough to find, the former because you really don't think of it, the second for the same reason - you can't ENTER that room from the middle floor, so it's tough to think to raise the water level to the middle, enter from the bottom and go up.

Also, I think either after you get the longshot or the boss key, there's a part where there's no real indication of where to go, and you have to get the last key from the very bottom room. That's a part where the map helps.

also i think it had the toughest combat in the game. dark link wasn't easy if you didn't use din's fire. and morpha wasn't that bad, but still the hardest boss (placing the longshot was a bit tricky) and dealt the most damage.

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 11 14:06:17 2013 No.421592 water temple is easy if you do it in one go. but if you save in the middle, it's a bit tough to find your way

>I certainly don't think the water temple was EASY.
Yeah, what I meant was, it's not really hard compared to the rest of the game. It's not a significant difficulty spike harder than any other part of the game, nor is it one of the easiest parts. I'd say on the whole it flows at about the same rate as the rest of the game, notwithstanding the things that slow down gameplay mentioned in this thread.

In fact, nobody thinks the Water temple was HARD so much as A HUGE ASS TIME WASTER

Switching boots, playing shitty songs to change the water levels, that underwater half speed, Dark Link fight being a right bitch due to only competent AI in the game, and Morph's I WILL WASTE TEN YEARS OF YOUR LIFE I I HIT YOU attack.

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 11 14:27:47 2013 No.421757 >>421643 but water temple is one of the most fun, best designed temples IMO sure switching the boots is annoying but not THAT annoying, i think its tedium is way overstated. i think it's still an incredibly designed puzzle/dungeon.

Okay, started playing this game when it came out and TO THIS DAY I have never been hit by Morpha.

There is no way you can say it is a hard fight. Dark Link also isn't too bad if you don't Z Target, which I will give you sounds counter intuitive.

>and Link is only there to solve puzzles.
And find the pieces Midna needs, and to defeat Gant, and to be central to the story because the story is about Link. Hence why the intro section exists and rescuing the kids who Midna frankly couldn't give a shit about. And being the chosen one with the triforce. And being the protagonist who talks to EVERYONE in the game which Midna only interacts with Link and Zant.
So, no.
He was the central vehicle in which the story revolved around.

This is the same with Zelda 1 and Zelda 2 and LttP.
All of which are named Zelda and have Zelda, but she is not the 'main' character. Link is, even though his name isn't in the title and the entire events revolved around her being captured or Ganon doing evil shit.
The story we're being told is from Links perspective is about Link and his dealing shit.
If you called it Legend of Midna: Twilight Princess would that make you understand it better?
You need to reasses your understanding of plot essential characters and antogonist/main characters.

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 11 15:00:17 2013 No.422024 >>421956 Zelda's in the total story for about 5 minutes. Link's in the story as the tsunderecar that Midna drives.

In snowhead temple, majora's mask, I spent about 20 minutes wandering about because I did not know that you had to punch those ice blocks out of the pillar. Then I stood still for 3 minutes and was just about to give up and look up a walkthrough, it was then Tatl almost eerily decided to give me that crucial bit of advice that the icy parts could be punched away.

Other than that I think Navi/Tatl was redundant

The most annoying thing about Navi was that there were a couple of locations where she would fly over and circle something like she wanted you to examine it more closely, but it was just a featureless piece of ceiling in a cave or some shit.

The "hey! listen!" annoyance comes from the fact that she sometimes didn't want to let you go off on your own and explore, and would keep trying to remind you of your objective constantly if you got off the rails at those times. I think a way to CHOOSE to speak to her if you forgot your objective would have been a much better way of reminding the player about information that had already been given.

Then I'm glad they concentrated on all of midna's village children, oh wait, that was Links.
Well at least they concentrated on the group assisting Midna in providing information and access to new areas so that they could defeat Zant.
Oh wait that was Link.
Well at least the story revolved around Zant attacking twilight and taking over.
Oh wait, that was Hyrule, Link's residing Kingdom. Twilight already happened and was a footnote.
Well at least the story revolved around the people who cared about Midna.
Oh wait, that was Link. Only like six people in the game who knew Midna, and they all totalled like five minutes of time, three of them were non plot essential AI, one didn't even care for that bitch, the wanted to lick her but then spent all his time doting about Link. The third didn't give a shit and only cared about fucking Link up because he stood in his way.

The annoyance over Navi started out as a joke, a self-aware joke. People knew she really wasn't that bad, but her annoyance was exaggerated for humor purposes. But of course people thought it was totally serious (the raddit crowd comes to mind) and were dumb about it.

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 11 15:19:47 2013 No.422134 >>422024 Also, yeah for a tsunderecar, it's funny that she spends like half the game in your fucking pocket while you ride around a horse. It's also quite ironic that the story pretty much never leaves link, but constantly leaves Midna.

When that happens, it usually means you're supposed to play a song - Song of Storms, Sun's Song - to make a fairy appear.
