you know what they say it's dangerous to
go alone
name's dave with wash mojo and today
we'll be counting down our picks for the
top 10
legend of zelda companions for this list
we'll be looking at the most interesting
and useful partners link has ever taken
on an adventure
whether they be animals or more fleshed
out sidekicks
number 10. ricky the legend of zelda
oracle of seasons and oracle of ages
[Music]
there are several useful companions in
these game boy color classics
dmitry the dodongo can swim through
rough waters
moosh the flying bear can hover over
pits but the best of these three have to
be ricky the boxing kangaroo
trust me i know a thing or two about
these things
[Music]
ricky has the ability to jump over holes
and scale tall walls
but it's combat where he shines the
brightest not only can he box an enemy's
ears but he can also wind up and fire a
tornado
comparatively dimitri merely bites and
moose ground pounds
plus how adorable does link look riding
around in ricky's pouch
accurate kangaroo anatomy to be damned
you do not want to know what's inside
those things
number nine fee the legend of zelda
skyward sword
you wouldn't think a spirit confined to
a sword for thousands of years
would be the most personable companion
and well you'd be kind of right
but once you get used to fees android
like behavior and dialogue
she can actually be pretty useful
she can provide insight regarding
certain items and characters to help
link find his way
fee grows more personal over the course
of the game resulting in one of the most
touching yet heart-wrenching
scenes in zelda history players will
forever think of her whenever they pick
up this iconic weapon
[Music]
number 8 opponent
[Music]
when you think animal companions in
video games opponent is often the first
to come to mind
and for good reason she carried link
literally through some of the
franchise's biggest stepping stones
from adventuring through hyrule fields
to thrilling horseback combat
[Music]
she was quite helpful on the n64 giving
lenk a speed boost
and letting him reach new areas and
while their bond was the strongest in
twilight princess
the most useful version of her is in
breath of the wild you have your own
link amiibo to get her
but she comes with max bond speed
strength and stamina
and when you register her at a stable
the stableman calls her the horse of
legends
you gotta respect the classics
number seven wolflink the legend of
zelda breath of the wild
it's another unfortunate case of needing
an amiibo but it's one well worth having
scanning this special amiibo which came
packaged with twilight princess hd
lets wolfling travel on your adventure
he'll attack any enemy and hunt wild
game on sight
letting link preserve weapons and
resources
plus he'll automatically teleport to you
if you get too far away
his health depends on how many hearts
players had left after completing the
caves of shadows in twilight princess hd
but no matter how strong your wolflink
is he'll fill in the hole of a travel
companion
which is one of the only things breath
of the wild was missing
[Music]
number six princess zelda the legend of
zelda
spirit tracks
[Music]
it isn't too often players get to team
up with the franchise's legendary
namesake
let alone control her as such this ds
title makes for a rather momentous
occasion
as her spirit was separated from her
body by the dastardly chancellor cole
zelda joins link in order to reclaim it
this could have very easily been another
adventure about rescuing a damsel in
distress
but zelda plays a much bigger role
within the tower of spirits
zelda can possess armored enemies called
phantoms this makes it interesting to
return to the tower throughout the game
as controlling zelda lets you solve a
variety of puzzles
she's still scared of rats which is a
tad regressive but it's still pretty
cool to have her alongside you for the
whole game
number five the crimson loft wing the
legend of zelda skyward sword
[Music]
with an overworld set in the clouds
nintendo knew they couldn't include a
poner for this wii entry
but what they gave us made exploring the
skies much more exciting
than riding around on horseback
link's crimson loft wing the rarest form
of the creature
is controlled using the wii's motion
controls and honestly
plunging down from incredible heights
never gets old
although every student in the knights
academy gets a loft wing link has a
special connection with his
he was able to write his companion in an
early age with no instruction
a lack of content in the overworld is
one of skyward's words most frequent
criticisms
but the simple joy of controlling the
loft wing certainly helped make up for
it
[Music]
number four tattle the legend of zelda
majora's mask
[Music]
navi's annoying nature is one of the
most referenced aspects of ocarina of
time
which is why she's not on this list but
tattle on the other hand
this ferry that succeeded her makes for
a much more pleasant and complex
companion
[Music]
majura's mask excels at subverting
expectations of what a zelda adventure
entails
and your sidekick is no exception once a
friend to skull kid
she reluctantly joins link in order to
find her brother
in fact when they first meet she helps
the skull kid rob and transform link
but on their journey the strong will
tattle begins to open up and regret her
actions
she feels a responsibility for the skull
kid's descent into villanry
and the well-being of his soon-to-be
victims plus she has all the usefulness
of navi without pestering you every few
minutes
number 3 eslo the legend of zelda the
minish cap
so useful is the ability of this
companion grants link that the entire
game was named after him
once one of the pcori of the master vadi
eslo was transformed into a hat by his
former pupil
in order to regain his form and stop the
power-hungry antagonist
he teams up with link most of the game
revolves around shrinking down to sides
to explore new areas and complete
dungeons
not only is this an interesting way to
open up the game's world but eslo
is just as incredibly entertaining at
times sarcastic and crotchety
aslo brings more genuine laughs than any
companion before him
and he offers a nice origin story
explaining why link always seems to wear
a floppy green hat
[Music]
number two the king of the red lions the
legend of zelda
the wind waker
[Music]
the concept of a flooded high roll is
always intriguing
but it's this knowledgeable companion
who guides link and helps the player to
understand this new world
while he is a bit serious compared to
other companions the king of the red
lions
is still a source of comfort
[Music]
he can give link hints and dungeons via
the pirates charm and he helps you stay
one step ahead of gannon
through his familiarity with the world
locations but he further distinguishes
himself with the bombshell reveal that
he is in fact the king of hyrule from
long ago
and the first time we've ever physically
seen him in the legend of zelda series
this tragic backstory coupled with his
expressiveness
makes him far more fleshed out than any
other companions and his sacrifice and
hopeful wish for lincoln zelda
is enough to elicit tears

number one midna the legend of zelda
twilight princess
midna is an endlessly helpful companion
eventually able to teleport link around
hyrule
and let him transform into a wolf at
will and when it comes to personality
well there's simply no topping her
[Music]
the queen of the twilight realm ventured
to hyrule to stop zant
who transformed her into her impish form
she is a bit rough around the edges
full of sass and seems to take sinister
delight in hyrule's current state
but midna's guard eventually comes down
and she's revealed to have a strong
heart and a deep love for her people
plus her personal conflict with zant as
it elevates him as a villain in kind
honestly twilight princess is just as
much her story as it is links
if not more so
