The Zelda series is beloved for many reasons. Its originality, creativeness, sense of adventure, and never ending ingenuity have kept it running strong as a forerunner in video games for over 25 years. But that does not mean it is flawless. I think it is safe to say that every Zelda fan has at least one thing that they absolutely cannot tolerate about a particular game; a moment they dread reaching when playing an otherwise perfect game. These nuisances can…

“Hey, Listen!” Who could have predicted in 1998 that these two innocent words, articulated by a winged ball of light, would become the bane of countless Zelda fans? Yet besides Kaepora Gaebora’s notoriously long-winded speeches, the infamous catchphrase of Link’s fairy companion Navi is probably the most common points of criticism leveled at Ocarina of Time. Detractors claim her often-repeated exclamations are unbearable; her personality obnoxious. Not even Tingle is demonized to such an extent. When faced with such vocal and ingrained…

We all love the Zelda series. There are so many things to love about it; the characters, the stories, the dungeons, the inventory… the list goes on. But if there is one thing we can all agree on, it’s that the series is notorious for pitting our favorite hero against some of the most irksome, tantrum-inducing, downright ANNOYING enemies of all time. Regardless of difficulty, all of these foes slow your progress. I considered not putting these enemies in any…

This is it, folks. I promised I would start writing about some Zelda songs I don’t like, and so I decided to begin with the king . . . the one song I hate so much I avoid its location at all cost. Malo Mart. This song is the theme for a shop owned by a kid who looks like a baby. Its Castle Town branch is painted in colors and designs so incredibly bright and colorful they would make…

You’ve probably seen that article title before. I suppose the biggest reason for that is because Zelda’s a game with a lot of freaking characters. Aside from that, it’s also a series that tends to prize its own ability to be hilarious and/or weird. (Yes I am speaking of the series like an entity and that isn’t hypocritical at all.) Because of these two things, the series ends up having loads of weird character all over the place with a…

Youtube member Megasteakman recently uploaded a new video giving us a look at how useful and annoying it is to have Navi around to help you out. Throughout the video we see a few random situations in Link’s day to day life where Navi interrupts with her familiar phrases like “Watch out”, “Hey!” and “Listen.” However she is not always as helpful as you would think. She goes from somewhat helpful near the beginning, to frustrating, to actually causing problems…

Every once in a while, we come across an oddball in the music videos that we post. Usually the average video consists of the person playing the song and then it’s over. Although most are very well played and sound beautiful on their own, we’re left with nothing to remember it by and its lost in the world of the internet. We get a ton of them, but today we stumbled upon two rather humorous performances of a Zelda Medley…

That’s right, episode 3 of the Countdown is now available for your viewing pleasure. This time I discuss my most annoying enemies in the Zelda series. This list was fun to make, and I know there are easily some additional enemies that could have made this list. Head on past the break to see the list of honorable mentions.

If any of you frequent a Zelda forum, such as Zelda Dungeon, there is no doubt in my mind that you have stumbled across a thread discussing a character from the series being extremely annoying. I’ve seen this thread recreated over and over several times in the past 4 years, but only a few characters stand out as an annoyance to the Zelda fans out there. These include characters such as Midna and Tingle, but Navi soars above the rest…
