12 Things You Didn't Know About The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time
6. Navi Originally Had Feelings For Link
Navi might’ve been an iconic character within Ocarina Of Time but it didn’t make her any less annoying. Being summoned to assist Link by the Great Deku Tree, she accompanied Link throughout this quest and provided a bunch of hints to help players.
Many quickly became irritated by the frequency of her "Hey!”, “Listen!" messages but originally Nintendo planned to develop her character further. During a Famimaga 64 interview in 1997, Miyamoto revealed Navi was actually jealous of Princess Zelda and that within the story, she has feelings for Link.
This was absent from the final release but Ocarina’s manga adaptation touches upon this, seeing Navi tell Link she loves him before leaving. It’s important to note the manga is non-canon however and considering the interview occurred during development, it seems like this plot point was simply discarded.
