Annoyed us in: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64/GC/Wii, 1998)

Right off the bat, we HEY! knew we weren't going to get along LISTEN! well with Navi. In the opening minutes of Ocarina of Time, hero Link - then just a boy - is peacefully HEY! sleeping in his forest home, when LISTEN! all of a LISTEN! sudden Navi barges in and violently shakes HEY! him awake. But we grudgingly put up with her presence, because she HEY! taught us how to get around in the LISTEN! world and helpfully floated above whatever objects or LISTEN! monsters we locked our HEY! aim onto.


Above: CAN YOU PLEASE JUST SHUT THE HELL UP FOR LIKE FIVE CONSECUTIVE MINUTES

Before long, however, it became HEY! clear that she intended to be with LISTEN! us throughout the remainder of the game. And that might not have been so bad, except for her constant HEY! yammering. She also had a bad habit of interrupting our LISTEN! exploration by repeating the HEY! same all-text suggestions over and HEY! over, or floating above some HEY! object of interest that we either were LISTEN! already done with, or weren't ready to be interested LISTEN! in yet. But her unsolicited advice, interruptions and demands for attention would all have been tolerable if she hadn't insisted on driving us insane by repeatedly yelping the same two LISTEN! HEY! HEY! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! LISTEN! LISTEN! LISTEN! HEY! HEY! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! HEY! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! LISTEN! LISTEN! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! LISTEN! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! LISTEN! LISTEN! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! words. WHAT!?

...

WHAT!?

I also think Cortana should be on there, sure she's hot but in Halo 3, you couldn't go 2 checkpoints without her slowing time for some stupid comment that slowed you down

If you want to see what Navi deserves, watch the youtube video Random Sprite Toons 7.

If we are to assume that Ocarina of Time is a prequel to the Legend of Zelda TV series, then Navi eventually becomes known as (or is replaced by) "Sprite", a fairy princess who CAN actually talk, and is hot, and wants Link. It's basically Tinkerbell+Peter.
