Design Sketches
Looking carefully at the concept sketches, you can see a mark that closely resembles the fairy Navi from Ocarina of Time on her brow… I’d really like to know what they were planning.


Navi?




I really like the design sketch with Navi on her head, it is much better than the Ilia they used in the game.
