Navi first appeared as Link's fairy companion in Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, released in 1998, where she hovered beside him and called out whenever she spotted an enemy, a secret, or a piece of advice. Her repeated Hey Listen became a running joke among players, who quoted it in forums, Let's Play videos, and later short-form edits long after the game itself. Today the single Hey works on its own because even people who never finished the game recognise the voice, the interruption, and the Nintendo 64 era it came from.
