Navi debuted as Link's companion in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, released for Nintendo 64 in 1998. Voiced to grab attention during exploration and combat, her repeated Hey, Listen and Watch Out prompts helped guide new players through Hyrule. Those cues became a running joke among fans who found her persistence both useful and exasperating. Clips of her voice later spread through forums, videos and soundboards, turning a simple tutorial aid into a shared shorthand for unwanted advice that will not stop repeating itself.
