Rejected Zelda Companions
Posted on January 19 2012 by Ally Paige
Any Legend of Zelda fan knows how annoying some of Link’s companions have been in the past. They nag you constantly about minor issues, shouting “Hey! Listen!”, laughing at you through the Wiimote, or just spouting some gibberish that nobody on the face the planet can understand. I don’t think that these guides were put in the games just to agitate the user. They honestly believe that you should know that your batteries are low or that enemies can take hearts away from you if they hit you. It’s easy to complain about such characters when they’re in the game, but have you ever wondered what it would be like to have companions who are, perhaps, even more annoying than who they stick you with in the first place? Impossible, right? Wrong. Owen Parsons and Caldwell Tanner from Dorkly have constructed this comic proving the point that while Navi and Fi can be annoying, there are much worse guides to have following you than a fairy or the spirit of your sword.
Don’t believe it? Read the comic and decide for yourself.
So, what could be worse than Navi? Well, as you have seen, there are a few things. If Navi makes you want to chuck your Wiimote across the room, imagine what three of our flying fairy comrades would do to you. And what about Razzl and Dazzl? They seem helpful to the extreme. Who needs to become the hero of Hyrule when you can go to the club in Kakariko and show everyone who’s boss?
What do you think of these rejected companions? Would you like to have them with you throughout your journey? Why or why not? Comment and let us know.
