The Legend of Navi: A Link to the Pest is the perfect video for any fan of the Legend of Zelda.
The DS version game has a notable character other than Link and Zelda, and that is Navi. The character of Navi is a fairy that helps Link along on his quests. However, if you have ever played the game, Navi can be the single most annoying character with the interjects of unnecessary information and misleading path.
The Legend of Navi: A Link to the Pest is a fun set of videos that mocks the fairy friend by Humble Punch Productions. From just getting annoyed with the pixie to accidentally shooting her, the video is hysterical.
