Most Annoying Zelda Character?

[Miss Moonlight]

Navi.

"Hey! Hey! Listen!"

... and she's not even that helpful.

 

[Brave Huxley]

The first 10 minutes of Ocarina of Time introduced me to...


I couldn't stand him.

 

[Stallord]

Don't be hatin'.

Isn't that kind of the point of this thread?

And yeah, Kaepora does help in MM (I've only seen him once) but they should at least make the speeches a LITTLE shorter.

 

[Kaiser Kami]

The most annoying Zelda Character...tough one. I like Navi because she was slightly helpful when it came to odd monsters and bosses, While Tatl expects you to know about those monsters and insults you. It would be Mido. Ha! Did not expect that huh?

 

[linebyline]

Hey!

Hey, guy?

Guy, can I count the Anouki as one character for purposes of this thread?

Actually, heh, can you count them for me, 'cause I'm too lazy.

Oh, but first if you could do a long and tedious puzzle with no real fun or challenge involved, I'd be real grateful, guy.

AAARGH!

...

My second-place goes to Tingle, with the caveat that the original Tingle (from Majora's Mask) is excluded. Oh, he was annoying, but he had some redeeming qualities. He was unique in a game populated mostly with recycled or barely-altered OoT characters (though admittedly that was a minor plot point at the time, whereas in later games it was just laziness). He was kinda likable. I thought his backstory, such as it was, waskinda interesting. I guess it depends on whether you find his oddness off-putting, and if you do, then you're not going to be playing MM for that long anyway.

But the Wind Waker version was a whiny jerk. Not to mention stingy--come on, dude, I saved your butt from prison and I'm saving the whole freaking world--give a guy a discount! Not to mention his "brothers" or whoever they were. I guess someone thought it would be funny to have him use them as slave labor, but I for one am not laughing.

And perhaps, as with the Anouki, I'm holding his connection to a tedious gameplay segment against him: Run all over Hyrule once, to find all the Triforce charts, then again to scrounge up Rupees to have him decode the charts, and then a third time to fish the pieces up!

...

As a side note (albeit a long one; you can stop reading here if you want), while Navi got accused of having no personality, I wish they had come up with more than one personality for her successors instead of copy-pasting Tatl's personality so many times. And her character arc, for that matter:
Tat'l
- is an extremely vocal and extremely sarcastic fairy
- who starts out as an enemy of Link and an ally of Skull Kid,
- reluctantly sides with him when left behind,
- stays with him after getting wrapped up in the whole falling-moon fiasco,
- and gradually grows to like him,
- but still works in ample insults.
Tetra
- is an extremely vocal and sarcastic pirate
- who shows immediate disdain for Link even after he came to her rescue,
- reluctantly takes him aboard at the Postman's insistence,
- keeps crossing paths with him and more-or-less working together after getting wrapped up in Ganon's and the King's plots,
- and gradually shows signs of being more benevolent than she seemed at first,
- but always finds time to point out his faults.
Ezlo...
Okay, I don't really know anything about Ezlo, but I've heard he's a bit of a wise guy.
Midna
- is an extremely sarcastic and condescending imp-Twili-creature
- who first approaches Link because she sees him as inferior and thus a viable pawn,
- basically forces Link to escort her on the whole journey (admittedly, Link's the reluctant one this time),
- stays with him and keeps using him for her own agenda throughout pretty much the whole adventure,
- and gradually gains respect for Link and starts treating him as an equal,
- but still seems to get a kick out of messing with him (albeit more playfully than anything else by the end).
Linebeck (the original, not version 3.0 with Bonus Dorky Hat)
- is an extremely vocal, arrogant, dishonest, often sarcastic sailor
- who basically uses Link to get himself out of a jam early on and leaves Link in danger,
- reluctantly agrees to ship (so to speak) Link from island to island in the hopes of finding treasure,
- stays on board (so to speak) in the hopes of being given even more treasure,
- and gradually gains some respect for Link and becomes more honest and virtuous,
- but always tries to find a way to spin a situation to make himself sound good or take all the credit.

I admit they got progressively less one-note as the writers got more practice using the archetype, but I think it took Phantom Zelda to break the pattern (though again I don't know about Ezlo).

Does that make any one of them annoying? Well, yes, but that's not my point. The point is it gets annoying seeing the same personality--especially this one, reused.

Tingle is the Jar Jar Binks of the Zelda Universe.

My least fav. character is the baby/kid Goron from MM. His dumb little snaggletooth and annoying noises.....bleh. I swung at him a thousand times in some hope that it would slay him.

 

[Destiny]

Navi, not because she is annoying, that's not even it. The only reason I hate her is that I sometimes have trouble with the targeting system in OoT so when I'm trying to target someone I have to tell Navi "Hey, get the hell out of my hat!" And then run around until her dumb fairy self get's her arse to target, and when I finally do target it's. "Hey Look!" "Hey Look!" "HEY LOOK!".

Kaebora Gaebora this little turd muncher tricks me into accidentally pressing 'Yes' while button mashing trying to get past his dumb speech.

My arch nemesis. The mail man. After doing the most intense story part in Twilight Princess coming down from death mountain, all of a sudden, "HEEEEEEEYYY LINK". Then he does his messed up head to the side run and I am just mad at the fact that he's wearing short shorts. In Telma's bar, all he does is crouch in a corner rambling on about meat. And even when people attempt hacks to kill him, he lives on saying, "HEEEEEEEY".

How could I forgot about her, I hate her, really, she was so... annoying to say the least...
And I don't know why she has so many fans, or why they find her hot...

 

[LolGames4U]

Tetra's awesome! She's a pirate! LIKE JACK SPARROW! GO JOHNNY DEPP!

Tingle. *shudders* and Navi "HEY! LISTEN!" And at one point does she say "WAKE UP!"? Not sure. Sounded liek it.

 

[Zelway]

THE MOST ANNOYING CHARACTER IS FROM MM

The Business Scrub, each time you walk by his flower and he flies down it takes so long and is very annoying

 

[Aurelia]

Okay, that owl from Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask: Kaebora Gaebora.
... I like owl's I really do. But he's one owl that I just want to shoot with an arrow. Everywhere I went, or had a feeling that he is nearby, I look around to see if he is around where I'm going at. And guess what, he's their. He does help out a lot in Majora's Mask and in Ocarina of time, (Ocarina of Time: Helping you off from Death Moutain when you don't feel like going all the way down. Majora's Mask: Helping you get the Lens of Truth.)
I just feel like, we should see less of that owl, and more of the gameplay/adventure.

 

[Azure Sage]

Kaepora Gaebora. Or Tingle. Or the postman from Twilight Princess.

It doesn't matter which I hate more, or why; the fact is I can't stand those three.

 

[Pop 360]

I absolutely detest Tingle, he's annoying and just too creepy for his own good,I mean come on he must be in his 30's....It really scares me.

 

[MidnaOfTheTwili]

I don't mind Tingle most of the time, the only time he really irritated me was in WW when he made you pay 395 to get each chart deciphered. -_-
I do not find Navi annoying. I find her helpful, and I know a lot of people would be stuck without her help.
I don't like Linebeck, but he's not annoying, he's just rude and selfish.
Kaepora Gaebora is definetely the most annoying character I've met. I get instantly annoyed whenever I see him in OoT. The only time I actually like him is when he flies you down death mountain.
But I think that's it, I like nearly all of the characters.

 

[Thunder-ocarina]

Kaepora Gaebora was annoying. Really annoying. His theme is my least favorite song in the game.

Midna. I hate Midna. That's all I'm going to say.

And then Navi. "HEY this is a door. Doors are useful because they let you get from one room to another. press A to open a door."
