Best side-kick (Zelda)?

Which is your favorite companion thus far? I just beat Skyward Sword, so I feel I am ready to pass judgement on it in any way now :P. Fi grew on me, but still, she talks too much and repeats too much. My favorite is definitely Navi. I do not get the hate for her.

Let me see here....

Navi, OoT

Tatl, MM

King of Red Lions, WW

Ezlo, MC

Midna, TP

Cecil / Linebeck, PH

Zelda, ST

Fi, SS

Yep, King of Red Lions is my favorite.

Midna, followed by Zelda (Spirit Tracks), and then Fi.

Midna is easily the best side-kick imo. I like Fi as a character fine but appearance wise she still creeps me out.

Midna.

Moosh the Bear is the greatest thing ever to happen to the Zelda universe, whether he counts as a sidekickor not. :P

Epic fail on the topic title lol. But I give it hands down to Midna, easily the best companion relationship in this series. I love watching the relationship grow between them. I enjoyed Fi though and the ending with her was great. I don't even really consider The King of Red Lions in this company, he was like a talking Epona, he didn't actually like go in the dungeons or anything with you. The rest were always with you, they always had your back, except that fail by Navi against Ganondorf :PSepewrath

lol thanks for pointing my fail out :P.

Yeah Midna might be the best, I need to play TP again. Midna was definitely better than Fi. I felt the ending with Fi was kind of out of place and not natural. And maybe that is one reason I liked the KoRL so much, cause he wasnt always popping out telling you obvious things ALL THE TIME lol.

Midna wins for best character in a companion but I look at things from a gameplay perspective. Fi and Midna get instant disqualifications because they talk too much and think the player is an idiot. So I prefer Navi and Tatl, who were much humbler companions who let you figure a few things out for yourself. I'll give the Edge to Navi because there are a few very difficult puzzles in Majora's Mask that could have used some kind of hint. Definetly NOT giving away the answer like Fi or Midna but they should be able to tell you when something you're trying isn't workingGunSmith1_basic

100% agreed, although I dont know about Tatl not giving enough hints. I honestly dont remember well enough to say on that. I think Fi is the worst about the "hints". I realized something. I dont like people telling me exactly what to do :P. Fi does this, and the issun does this in Okami (the worst of them all). Navi was subtle but helpful. More helpful actually in terms of remembering things or giving you heads up. She doesnt give away exactly what you should be doing all the time. Navi FTW! :P *HEY LISTEN!*

I think King of Red Lions, Tatl and Midna are all about equal in different ways, but they all have a pretty big role in their games.

To me? Midna. She has more personality than sidekicks in previous Zeldas(much more than the robotic Fi). She even had her own little agenda.

Midna>Navi>Tatl>King of Red Lions>Fi

Midna had the most personality (Tatl has some too, but she just comes off more like a **** :x), and Fi had none whatsoever. That, and she refuses to shutup when you're hurt and if your controller has low batteries. I'm not sure what to think of her regarding hints though, because I never asked her for help.

Well i dont mean hints like that. I mean she more tells you exactly where to go and what to do in scenes and whatnot, which is annoying as heck. I agree Fi is the worst, and Midna has the most personality. I also agree Tatl was a **** :P. I think it goes Navi > Midna > King of Red Lions > Tatl > Fi, if I am remembering correctly.

But if you press down to check your playtime or something, she instead tells you that your batteries are low. Its like...NO DUH! I know that, I have a frikkin icon in the bottom blinking :P. Just tell me what I want to know would ya?

I really dont like Fi at all lol.

I remember that guy from Phantom Hourglass being your typical sleazy stereotype, but also the most entertaining sidekick. What a waste in that mess of a game :( Should have been in Wind Waker.

If linebeck was in WW the game would have dropped to a 9.0 for me :P.

NaveedLife

It's not her fault that you refuse to change your batteries. She can't read your mind and know exactly what you want. :P

Either change your batteries or don't talk to her at all to avoid her reminding you to change you batteries.

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] i played for two hours with the batteries low, she didn't complain once. all i got was a small icon on the bottom right. same for low shield health, low health, etc. she only talks if you want her to. which is like saying "god damn it that guy in front of the bazaar won't shut up and he keeps saying the same things" and you keep pressing A to talk to him over and over again.BrunoBRS

lol your right, its one of the programmers fault. Probably the same guy who decided every time you pick up a bug or material for the first time in a playtime, you will see what it is and how many you have ;).

Well i dont mean hints like that. I mean she more tells you exactly where to go and what to do in scenese and whatnot, which is annoying as heck.

lol I might be exagerrating a tiny bit :P. Seriously though, dowsing...sucks. I do not like it, cause that just feels kinda like her telling you where to go lol.

more like 8 seconds given the little text thing then the menu and all that. It isnt terrible, but its a really stupid and annoying design decision. Which brings me to another issue. It wouldnt be so bad, if you didnt collect this stuff ALL THE TIME. It seems to me like almost everything is way to plentiful and easy to get. The only thing I dont have enough of is Tumbleweed :P. Is there any other use for materials, or do i just have boat loads for no reason?

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] that has to be one of the biggest overreactions i've seen so far (i mean the whole bug thing). people are acting as if it takes forever to do it, but it's like 2 seconds. i don't mind it at all, and don't see why others would.GunSmith1_basic

Ah, so your early in the game ;). lol I just beat it, and my take is items come too often. But I might be thorough, and I always have medals equipped, since I usually dont need bottles for extra life or anything. They should have had fewer slots for medals/bottles/ect IMO. The only time I stocked up on bottles and life was at the end.
