Favourite Sidekick/Assistant

The Zelda series, since making the remarkable transition to 3D, our hero Link has often been paired up with a unique companion that will be there to guide him (and possibly annoy him too) throughout his adventures. So he's put up with two distinctly different fairies, one rambling, all-knowledgable talking boat, a quirky talking hat and a mysterious, domineering imp like creature. You can base your opinion on many things whether its there personality, usefulness, appearance or whatever makes you tick about them. So whose your overall favourite sidekick/companion/assistant of Link's?

To me I definitely think that Midna contributed the most due to her being a main element to the ending of the game and same goes for King of the Red Lions.

This is why I think of them as more of characters of their own caliber instead of being a sidekick
The very first Zelda game i played was OoT so evidently a fairy is what makes a Zelda game seem like a Zelda game.

Everyone complains about Navi but I think she was definitely the best side kick of them all.

I concur, Midna had real personality and she was very different compared to Link's prior companions, which was a good thing. The KoRL wasn't all that bad really, sure he rambled on a bit but he was very helpful and not too bothersome like a Zelda companion should be in that respect.

Good ol' King of Red Lions

King of Red Lions, Although i liked Navi, KORL helped the most.
