I like Navi and think her annoyingness is greatly exaggerated by the fandom. At least she never takes control away from you to forbid you from entering various areas.
i dont even remember navi being annoying at all.
what is even the complaints anyway?
People don't like that she "Hey!"s at you occasionally to tell you what to do next. The complaints are blown way out of proportion though, since most make it sound like she does that every two minutes.
Perhaps the most annoying complaint I have heard, and keep hearing to this day, is about her behavior in the final boss fight. Before the Ganon boss fight, she says something akin to "He has no power over me anymore, this time we fight together", which is a reference to how she couldn't help you in the fight against Ganondorf because the latter blew evil smoke in your face or some nonsense like that. People read her description of Ganon, in which she notes she doesn't know Ganon's weakness, and then they go like "Nerrrr, she's not helping like she said she would, what a bitch!".
What they don't seem to get is that Navi's help in that battle doesn't refer to her advice, it refers to the fact that she enables you to
Z-target Ganon. They don't realize that in the previous fight against Ganondorf, the one where she explicitely states she cannot help you,
you cannot Z-target Ganondorf unless he is disabled by the light arrows. Like, go play the battle again and try to do it without shooting a light arrow in his face. You can't target him.
So when Navi says "We'll fight together", she doesn't mean she'll give you great advice, she's basically saying "This time I'll let you Z-target the fucker no matter what".
It's a pretty ridiculous complaint.
