15 Most Offensive Gaming Characters Ever

3. Navi (The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time)

The Character: Navi is Zelda's fairy guide, instructed by the Great Deku Tree to help him stop Ganondorf, providing assistance by way of hints and helping the player acclimate to various new gameplay mechanics.

Why They're Offensive: Navi is pretty much the single skidmark on an otherwise un-soiled game. Why Nintendo decided to hire a voice actor to portray the most annoying and grating character in the entire series is anyone's guess: her constant utterances of "Hey!" and "Listen!" have infuriated an entire generation, and make her seem more like an irritating nag than a helper.

How did the devs not realise how impossibly, eye-twitchingly annoying she was? She's an unsavoury female stereotype, and the mere fact that she needs to exist in this form is plenty offensive in of itself.
