Who is the most annoying Zelda companion?
Throughout the Legend of Zelda series, Link has received plenty of assistance from trusty companions who aid him on his epic quests to save Hyrule. Among the many companions, who could be considered the most annoying? In this article, we’ll explore some of the most notable complaints among fans and examine if one companion stands out among the rest.
Uncomfortable Companions in the Zelda Series
It’s undeniable that some companions have been more tolerable than others. Here’s a brief rundown of our favorite (and least favorite) companions:
| Companions | Notably Irritating Traits |
|---|---|
| Midna | Oversteering, constant nagging |
| Ciela, Linebeck | Whimpering, constant chatty demeanor |
| Navi | Overly chatty, constant interruptions |
| Other companions | Various individual grievances |
Midna, the Most Annoying Companion?
Undisputedly, Midna seems to be the favorite amongst fans for being one of the most annoying. Who can forget her obnoxiously loud and abrupt interjections, often providing questionable advice? Her presence at times felt more like a hindrance than a vital guide. Midna’s constant nagging had been a major source of friction for many players throughout Shadow of the Colossus.
Another Runaway Favorite: The Twins Ciela and Linebeck
Ciela’s cutesy, constant quips and Linebeck’s pompous, know-it-all attitude made them arguably equally annoying. Their antics are often comical on screen, but in player-driven scenarios, their endless jabbering and emotional blackmailing could be migraine-inducing. Together, they formed a comedy-gone-wrong, never quite knowing when or whether to intervene, disrupting players’ immersion in Link’s world.
Conclusion
While opinions may diverge, it’s palpably clear that Midna stole the show (much like her own spotlight); but Ciela and Linebeck are not far off as the most annoying for each their own reasons.
Zelda’s companions each embody a unique set of mannerisms, some pleasing; others, grating (to say the very least). It’s almost possible to imagine a group like Ciela and Linebeck in a spinoff. In the meantime,
