10 Annoying Characters That Stopped Great Video Games Being Perfect

3. Navi - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

The nightmares of many a Legend of Zelda player will be forever punctuated by the whispered interjection "Hey! listen", thanks to this infuriating character. Navi's well-meaning advice and hints must've seemed like a good idea for the game's developers, but in reality they start to become unbearable very early on.

Since Navi's gems of advice aren't always triggered by meaningful events during the game, they can pop in so frequently that getting stuck or lost in the game becomes a sentence to be annoyed into submission. If you keep on retracing your steps to try to re-find the correct path in places, Navi's comments will repeat over and over until the cycle is broken and you find your way.

While this may sound like ideal motivation to make sure you never get lost in the first place, we all know that that's virtually impossible. Instead, players are doomed to fall into endless cycles of hearing that annoying voice pipe up over and over, time after time.

Good luck keeping hold of your sanity!
