”…There are so many clear improvements in the 3DS release that it’s tough to quibble, but I could do without the extra comments from Link’s fairy companion Navi, whose distracting alerts were already borderline annoying in the original game. While she does sometimes give useful hints, more often then not she interrupts the game to repeatedly suggest that you take a break from playing or go watch a hint movie. Turning to her for advice when I’m hopelessly stuck only to get great tips like ‘Keep Moving!’ or ‘The barrier is blocking the door, there must be some way of opening it’ is like pouring salt into a wound.”
As posted earlier, many people find Navi annoying and unhelpful with her constant exclamations of “Hey, Listen!”, and I’m with you. So, if you are one of these people, you’ll be pleased to hear this: Navi has been updated in Ocarina of Time 3D to be more annoying than ever, according to Nintendo’s official magazine.
Ever noticed any of those messages in Wii games that tell you that you should take a break? Well, Navi will now be notifying you of this and telling you to watch a hint movie, a new feature to the 3DS game. Here’s the full quote from Nintendo Power:
