Plenty of the Zelda games give the adventurer (you) a guide. In The Minish Cap they gave you the.. Minish cap, in Twilight Princess they gave you Midna. You got Navi in The Ocarina of time, and finally I get to my favorite, Fi from Skyward Sword.
I never really paid that much attention to the guides. Until Midna they didn't really feel like that big of a roll, but I really have a connection to Fi and feel like she is really helpful. In fact, her character is helping to slowly make Skyward Sword my favorite in the series. What was your favorite guide in the Zelda series, or did the guides really even matter to you? -------------------- Climhazzard is the timeless evil robot who runs some of the cool stuff at CoN (mostly logging chat, since there are no quizzes at the moment), all the while watching and waiting for his moment to take over the world. -Tiddles |

I like Sahasrala from Link to the Past, mainly because the tablets you use to communicate with him look like little intercoms. I imagine that he went into the dungeons, saw the puzzles and bosses and was like "Yeah...NOPE." and just set up a complicated intercom system across both worlds of Hyrule and just waited for some other sucker to come along and solve them.

The guides were an interesting part of the games. I've only gotten up to beating the first dungeon in Skyward Sword, so I can't comment enough on it yet. The fairy in Majora's Mask did seem to add a level to the story, but Majora's Mask is my favorite entry in the series.

Fi is the most annoying guide since Navi =[
" link, go down the green light thing in the sky! " And then Fi interjects: " LINK I'VE CALCULATED A 99% CHANCE THAT YOU NEED TO GO DOWN THE GREEN LIGHT THING IN THE SKY TO PROGRESS THE STORY." Are Nintendo intentionally trying to annoy us? there should be an option to simply turn her off or reduce the amount of times she interrupts gameplay >=[ Tatl and Midna ftw. -------------------- www.youtube.com/blinje The victor sacrificed the vanquished to the heavens |

I liked the King of Red Lions (the boat) from Windwaker. He's a lot more present as both a guide and a story element than many of the other guides in the series. And, he's a boat.

Quote (Death Penalty @ 23rd September 2012 07:41) I liked the King of Red Lions (the boat) from Windwaker. He's a lot more present as both a guide and a story element than many of the other guides in the series. And, he's a boat. Definitely on board with this! King of Red Lions is a great, wise old guide who had a good amount of personality, I feel. That was the problem with the likes of Navi and Sahasrala, that they lacked some development. On that note, Midna was also a brilliant little guide the reaked of personality as well. Spunky little devil with a whole lotta' sass. Finally, the old man in the cave in the original Legend of Zelda was probably the most important person to encounter in that game: he gave you your sword, a rather integral part to surviving the lands of Hyrule. I also have to agree with the fact that Fi's constant percentile updates are somewhat obnoxious and painfully obvious. She is, however, a lovely character, and I enjoy her dance method of story telling, so to speak, whenever you play your tunes of the Goddesses. -------------------- Games on the Go Final Fantasy VII Final Fantasy: Four Warriors of Light Baldur's Gate Too much to play, so little time!
