Navi
Navi is the fairy who travels with Link in Ocarina of Time. She is not in the other mainline games except when a remake of that one game brings her back. If you remember a fairy calling for your attention, this is that fairy.

A lock-on light with a voice
Zelda Wiki and the character write-ups describe Navi as Yoshiaki Koizumi’s answer to a practical problem: Z-targeting needed an in-world marker. The name is tied to “navigation.” In play she marks an enemy, changes color with the threat, and pushes the story forward. “Hey! Listen!” is the line players quote, often as a complaint. I can report that complaint as a reputation. I cannot report it as a measured fact about every player.
At the end of Ocarina of Time she leaves. Majora’s Mask opens with Link looking for her, which is a motive for that game even though she is not the partner you keep. Tatl fills a similar job there. Midna does it in Twilight Princess by being a character instead of a cursor. Fi does it in Skyward Sword as the sword. Navi is the first of that line, not the template all of them copied beat for beat.
The 2026 voice, and nothing past it
The 2026 Switch 2 release includes her. Wikipedia lists Lisa Reimold as the 2026 English voice and Kaori Mizuhashi as the Japanese voice. This casting detail has one accessible source in this review. I will not add new scenes for her. The sources I could read confirm the casting and do not give me a scene list.
She is not a CD-i character, not a Breath of the Wild character, and not someone you summon with an amiibo in a way I am willing to describe. The remake page is where the rest of that game’s changes live.
FAQ
What does “Hey! Listen!” mean?
It is Navi’s repeated prompt in Ocarina of Time. Players turned it into a joke about unwanted hints. The line is still just a hint trigger.
Is Navi in Tears of the Kingdom?
No. Her appearances are Ocarina of Time and the remakes of that game, including the 2026 release.
