![]() ![]() I point all this out to show that no one (aside from the royal family, to whom Link told his tale) knew who the Hero of Time was. ![]() We know from Twilight Princess that the execution failed, and Ganon was instead banished into the Twilight Realm, but the Hero of Time was likely well on his way to Termina by that part of the story. The two of them convinced the king of Hyrule to imprison and ultimately execute the Gerudo King before he could betray the royal family. Zelda sent him back in time to regain his childhood (which was a stupid move in my opinion), and as a result, in the child timeline, Ganondorf never took over Hyrule.Īfter returning to his childhood body, Link rushed to meet with a young Princess Zelda, who didn’t know who he was thanks to the time traveling. In the child timeline, the average Hylian doesn’t know who Link is. He was celebrated with a huge party that we see at the end of Ocarina of Time, but that all happens in the adult timeline. It’s all fine and well to say Link and Navi were friends, and the Hero of Time would journey to find him, but I think there’s more to it than that.Īs the Hero of Time, Link took his place among legends, and everyone in Hyrule knew of his righteous deeds. With all that said, I believe there is a more underlying, or at least an additional reason why Link left to find Navi. The two traveled across time itself to defeat Ganondorf, and there’s certainly a bond between the two characters as a result. The obvious reason Link left to find Navi is because they became good friends after all they went through. We know the fairy doesn’t come back because in Majora’s Mask it states the hero left looking for a “friend with whom he parted ways when he finally fulfilled his heroic destiny and took his place among legends.” After that text is displayed in Majora’s Mask, the sound of a fairy flying by is heard, indicating Link left to find Navi. In the last round with Ganon, the fairy rejoined Link to help take down the Gerudo King.Īt the end of the journey when Link is returned to his own time, Navi flies up to the window and disappears. Ganondorf was able to separate Navi from Link at one point with dark magic during the final battle, but it was brief. This included sticking by Link through the heat of the Fire Temple, the fear of the Shadow Temple, and even the frustrations of the Water Temple. Navi would be there every step of the way, never faltering. The Hero of Time would go through much in his quest to save Hyrule from the clutches of Ganondorf, going back and forth between being a child and an adult. The two spend the entire game together, and while some fans were annoyed by the high-pitched voice of their companion, others grew to love Navi as Link’s sidekick. Eventually, the Great Deku Tree, sensing Ganondorf’s evil plan kicking into high gear, sends Navi to accompany Link “the boy without a fairy.” He’s different from the Kokiri for two reasons: first, he’s a Hylian, which he figures out not long after leaving the forest second, he doesn’t have a companion fairy like the other villagers do. In Ocarina of Time, Link grows up as an outcast in his own village. I wanted to delve into what I consider the underlying reason Link went after Navi. Navi aids Link in his quest to fight Ganondorf, but at the end of Ocarina of Time, the fairy mysteriously leaves Link behind. “Hey!” “Watch out!” Fans of Ocarina of Time likely read the first three words of this article in Navi’s voice. ![]()
