NAVI

Hey listen! My name is Navi! I am a blue fairy of Kokiri Forest! I was the fairy that accompanied the heroine Link on her epic quest! Sadly, it seems like nobody acknowledges how helpful I was on her journey and most people hate me because I gave advice too often. I can't help it. Whenever I see someone just standing there, not knowing what to do, I just have to give a quick, "Hey, listen!" to set them on the right track. It's like I'm on some pre-set coding that forces me to do it.

But that doesn't mean that I wasn't both Link's guide and friend! I stayed with her when she spent seven years of her life in a temple! Oh, wait… that's a bad example… At least I stayed with her no matter what! Even in our first "dungeon," the Great Deku Tree! I probably would have left anyone else who came inside to go check on the Great Deku Tree. When we had entered, he had seemed a little sick. I had thought nothing of it at the time. I had thought it was just old tree age. Besides, it was Link's birthday! At least, that's what he told me. He said that Link had almost always forgotten her birthday had come around and the other Kokiri had just decided to give her surprise parties when they got tired of reminding her that it was her birthday. Because it was her birthday, I had thought that the Great Deku Tree had devised to lead her inside of a makeshift dungeon, so she could live out her dream of going through one.

When we entered the Great Deku Tree, his mouth closed behind us in an eerie way. Then Link ran forward, sword in hand, I had tried to warn her of the Deku Baba that was hiding in the ground, but she immediately sliced it in half and said to me, "What were you saying?" with a smirk on her face. I was bewildered. "How did you know where that was?" I had asked with disbelief. She answered with, "This dungeon looks and feels exactly like the one in my Legend of Zelda game. It's even in a Great Deku Tree!"

I had had no idea why there would be a game with a dungeon inside of a Great Deku Tree that looked exactly like this. I should have been more suspicious. I should have asked what happened in the game. But I was just confused. After thinking for a minute, I had looked up, and my eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. Link was standing 50 feet above me, stabbing a giant spider. I quickly flew up to save her, but she had already killed the spider. "What do you think you're doing?!" I had screamed, "You could have died!"

The young girl had just sighed and said, "I was perfectly fine. I knew I could kill it, besides, I have to find the Fairy Slingshot." I was dumbfounded. I myself already had a Fairy Slingshot. She didn't have to go searching for one. But before I could tell her this, she had already found one, as well as a few torches, one being lit. Before I could say anything, the girl had done something rash, go back down to the lowest level, and set fire to the web that was covering a big gaping hole. Then she leaped inside. I rolled my eyes. Needless to say, I went in after her.

When I flew down into the hole, nothing could have prepared me for what I saw, Link's body, face down, in the water. There was even a bit of blood. What could I do but shriek? For all I knew, she could have been dead. I immediately went to her side and tried to push her out of the water, or at least flip her over so she could breath. I was unsuccessful. After I had done everything I could think of, I just sat on the water next to her and screamed, "Wake up! Oh god, just wake up… Please… I'm begging you… Just get up!" To my surprise, I had heard her mumble something and I looked with awe as I saw her broken figure begin to shake. Then she began to rise and I cheered. She was alive. Later I learned that some webbing had broken her fall and the only injuries that she had was a little cut on her cheek and a dislocated shoulder.

When she had healed up with a few hearts lying around, I had a little talk with her. I said, "Link, please never do anything that reckless again. I was so worried. I had thought you were dead…" She replied with tears in her eyes, "Okay, I promise to never make you worry about me again. I'm really sorry that I made you worry like that. Even though I haven't known you that long, I still think of you as a friend. I never really had a lot of friends. I care about you. I don't want you to worry about me. I just wanted to make it through this quickly so we could go on an adventure together. I've always wanted to do that with someone…" Then a smile crept onto her face. "Besides, I already know where we need to go next." She pointed towards a strange door. "Why there?" I had asked. "Because," she began, "So far, this dungeon has been exactly like the one on my game. I'd bet you 5 Deku Nuts that there are three Deku Scrubs who will tell me the boss's weak spot." At this point, she winked to me, walked inside, and closed the door behind her. I waited a few seconds, until I heard screams of pain and terror from inside. Then I heard an explosion. The door was blown against the wall on the other side of the room I was in. I flew inside and saw Link standing on top of three unconscious Deku Scrubs whilst laughing her face off. I don't think I'll ever forget how happy and crazy she looked then.

After a quick interrogation, Link came back outside of the makeshift tent we had made and proclaimed that she knew exactly what to do to kill the beast that was just beyond the door on the opposite side of the room from where we were resting. She was incredibly happy when we opened the boss door, ready to take down Gohma. I couldn't help but be happy as well.
