However it left many thinking wether or not the person shown in the trailer was actually Link. I have an explanation on why it is Link. One of the first things we notice about Link in the trailer is that he is not wearing his usual tunic instead, he is wearing clothes similar to the ones he wears at the start of TWW. This may seem like a new change but we do see Link wearing a blue tunic in FS and FSA, this tells me that this could be a Four Swords or similar game, this is backed up by how Aonuma wanted to change the conventions of Zelda and one way he wants to accomplish this is by making it so that more than one person can play. We also see for a split second a sword which upon closer look looks like either the Picori Blade or the Four Sword, this also backs up the possibility that this game is a multiplayer game since the Four Sword is featured in multiplayer games. There is one more question left, where is Link's iconic hat, it even appears in multiplayer games. In the introduction of The Minish Cap, it talks of a so called "Hero of Men" (who currently doesn't have a game) who, like the Link in Zelda Wii U, also is missing his hat, the hero of men wields the Picori Blade, which later becomes the Four Sword (telling us that the Picori Blade may have similar powers) which is supported by the fact that the Link in the upcoming game appears to have the Picori Blade or the Four Sword. All these facts just seem to link (no pun intended) together in a way that definitely not a coincidence . I find no reason to think that this isn't link. After all these years why would they change the iconic character that has appeared in every game so far, and replace him with a new, strange character, it just doesn't make sense in my mind. {{Theory|end}} |

| − | In gameplay, Navi's primary purpose is to function as a focusing target. By pressing the Z Button, Navi will target the most nearby object, enemy, or person. She glows yellow to indicate when she is targeting an enemy, blue when Link can talk to someone from a distance, and green when she is targeting something of interest. Any time Navi targets something, she will yell out to Link "Hey!", "Listen!", or "Watch out!" Pressing the C-Up button while Link is targeting an enemy will allow him to hear Navi provide information about said foe. Once Link learns "[[Saria's Song]]", the young hero can communicate with Saria through Navi.<ref>{{cite|You want to talk to Saria, right? /Talk to Saria /No|Navi|OOT}}</ref> When Navi's help is not being used, she seemingly hides herself inside Link's hat; however, she can be summoned at any time by pressing the A Button while Link is standing still. In the [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D|3DS remake]] of {{OOT}}, Navi often tells the player to take a rest from playing.<ref>{{Cite book|quote= While [Navi] does sometimes give useful hints, more often then not she interrupts the game to repeatedly suggest that you take a break from playing. . . .|book= [[Nintendo Power]] issue #268|publisher= [[Nintendo Power]]|page= 82}}</ref> |

A friend with whom he parted ways when he finally fulfilled his heroic destiny and took his place among legends...|Prologue|MM}}</ref> mentioned in the introductory sequence to {{MM}} is Navi. This is made all the more probable given the "fairy flying" sound-effect that is played after the text disappears off the screen but before the [[Lost Woods]] scene begins. Years later, this was confirmed by the official artbook ''[[Hyrule Historia]]'', which says Link was indeed searching for Navi for months in the Lost Woods until he found [[Skull Kid]].<ref>{{Cite book|quote=Link set off on his horse, Epona, who lived at Lon Lon Ranch. Months passed as he wandered in search of his companion, Navi, eventually losing himself in a mysterious forest.

||
| − | |||
| − | ===Other games=== |
||
| − | She has not been seen in any other [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' games]] other than the Wii version of {{TP}}, where her "blue fairy" design is used to indicate the pointer of the Wii Remote when it is not being used for other functions, like aiming the [[bow]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Relationship== |
||
| − | The precise relationship between her and Link is a matter of contention, since it is left ambiguous by Nintendo - the only time she speaks during the game (with the exception of the "Hey" and "Listen" sound effects) is during the introductory sequence and during the [[Temple of Time]] sequence. However, in an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, he mentions that Navi is jealous of [[Princess Zelda]], saying that Link's fairy companion "feels something for [him]."<ref>{{cite web|quote=If it was Princess Zelda, it would be great. However, this time Navie [sic] [the fairy] is jealous of Zelda.

||
| − | At the end of the {{Manga|OOT}}, just as Navi leaves Link, she tells him that she loves him;<ref>{{cite book|quote= Link... I love you!|book= The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|publisher= VizKids|page= 107}}</ref> however, it is unclear whether she was able to tell that to Link, as she leaves directly after. |
||
| − | {{noncanon|end}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Destination== |
||
| − | {{Theory|start}} |
||
| − | Navi's reasons for leaving at the end of ''Ocarina of Time'' are unclear, and her whereabouts afterward are unknown. However, some fans have noted that the window Navi flies through as she leaves seems to coincide with the entrance to the [[Temple of Time ]] dungeon seen in {{TP}}. If so, it is possible that she may have settled in the temple, or else lived there for a while before moving on. |
||
| − | {{Theory|end}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Development== |
||
| − | When the concept of [[Targeting System|Z-targeting]] was being developed, an upside-down triangle was used to determine which enemy Link was targeting. The designers felt this marker was too simple, so they wanted to replace it with a cute fairy girl, believing it would fit the ''Zelda'' atmosphere. However, the [[Nintendo 64]] was not able to support such a fairy, so a ball of light with wings was used instead. She was originally called the Fairy Navigation System, but was later renamed Navi. After naming her, many of her functions were designed, such as changing color to distinguish between friends and foes, acting as a guide and providing strategy tips. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Her design also allowed developers to overcome a problem in [[Kokiri Forest]]. Due to the Nintendo 64's limitations, it was difficult to display the villagers and structures all at once, so each person was paired with a fairy to help locate them. When Link approached them, their owners would appear and he could interact with them. Both of these expanded the story so that Link was the only child in the forest without a fairy, then he met and parted with a fairy companion.<ref name="IwataAsks">{{cite web|title=Iwata Asks : The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D : Where the Name Navi Came From|url=http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/zelda-ocarina-of-time/1/3|site=IwataAsks.Nintendo.com}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Reception== |
||
| − | Navi is one of the more criticized [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]] characters, which is due to her constant yelling of "Hey!" and "Listen!" throughout the game and for giving "unsolicited advice."<ref>{{cite web|quote=Before long, however, it became HEY! clear that she intended to be with LISTEN! us throughout the remainder of the game.

Additionally, another GamesRadar editor ranked her second place in a list of "cutesy characters" they want to "beat the crap out of," describing her as a "tactless" [[wikipedia:Tinkerbell|Tinkerbell]] and considering her to distract players from the gameplay.<ref>{{cite web|quote=You know why.

||
| − | |||
| − | ===Impact and Legacy=== |
||
| − | Despite her much criticism, Navi is notable in that she is one of the few characters with any voice-acting in the series and the only other character (aside from Link in {{TWW}} and [[Beedle]] in both ''The Wind Waker'' and {{SS}}) who uses English words. She also became a milestone in the ''Zelda'' series as being the first of Link's [[wikipedia:Canon (fiction)|canon]] fairy companions, as she would pave the way for other upcoming sidekicks such as [[Tatl]]. Ciela from {{PH}} uses two of the same voice clips as Navi (her "Hey!" and "Look!" clips). Additionally, because early trailers for the game featured the fairy's quotes yet did not show Ciela's name, many fans initially believed she ''was'' Navi. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In {{SSBB}}, a fairy resembling Navi is seen flying next to Link in front of a forest holding the [[Pedestal of Time]]. This same fairy appears as part of one of Link's taunts during combat; she emerges from Link and circles him once with him looking on before hiding herself back into Link. Navi is also used as a mouse cursor for the [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/aqej/index.html ''Ocarina of Time 3D'' Site].<ref>[[:File:Navi OoT 3D site.png|Navi as a mouse cursors on the Ocarina of Time 3D site]]</ref> |

| − | ==Trivia== |
||
| − | *Navi's name comes from the word "'''navi'''gation". Navi was originally supposed to be named "Fairy Navigation System", but since the name was too long, the developers changed it to Navi.<ref name="IwataAsks" /> |
||
| − | *An official video was released which is guided by Navi in Japanese when ''Ocarina of Time'' was first released.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLu5csyn3IQ|title=Ocarina of Time official guide video|site=YouTube}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%BC%E3%83%AB%E3%83%80%E3%81%AE%E4%BC%9D%E8%AA%AC_%E6%99%82%E3%81%AE%E3%82%AA%E3%82%AB%E3%83%AA%E3%83%8A#.E4.BD.9C.E5.93.81.E3.82.AC.E3.82.A4.E3.83.89|site=|title=ゼルダの伝説 〜時のオカリナ〜 公式攻略ビデオ (The Legend of Zelda ∼Ocarina of Time∼ Official Video Guide|site=Japanese Wikipedia}}</ref> |

Here is my personal page, here I will post things like theories and other such things.
Theory Warning
UPDATE: June 12, 2014- It was just revealed that it was link in the trailer (phew) but there still isn't much we know about this game and i'm still sticking with the theory following: June 11, 2014- The new Zelda game was just recently shown at E3 with a teaser trailer. However it left many thinking wether or not the person shown in the trailer was actually Link. I have an explanation on why it is Link. One of the first things we notice about Link in the trailer is that he is not wearing his usual tunic instead, he is wearing clothes similar to the ones he wears at the start of TWW. This may seem like a new change but we do see Link wearing a blue tunic in FS and FSA, this tells me that this could be a Four Swords or similar game, this is backed up by how Aonuma wanted to change the conventions of Zelda and one way he wants to accomplish this is by making it so that more than one person can play. We also see for a split second a sword which upon closer look looks like either the Picori Blade or the Four Sword, this also backs up the possibility that this game is a multiplayer game since the Four Sword is featured in multiplayer games. There is one more question left, where is Link's iconic hat, it even appears in multiplayer games. In the introduction of The Minish Cap, it talks of a so called "Hero of Men" (who currently doesn't have a game) who, like the Link in Zelda Wii U, also is missing his hat, the hero of men wields the Picori Blade, which later becomes the Four Sword (telling us that the Picori Blade may have similar powers) which is supported by the fact that the Link in the upcoming game appears to have the Picori Blade or the Four Sword. All these facts just seem to link (no pun intended) together in a way that definitely not a coincidence . I find no reason to think that this isn't link. After all these years why would they change the iconic character that has appeared in every game so far, and replace him with a new, strange character, it just doesn't make sense in my mind.
