Today, we are focusing on these frustrating friends who either hindered our heroes or became nauseating nuisances.
These sidekicks have long been remembered by gamers for their annoying voices and actions.
Below is a list of the top 5 sidekicks, complete with a list of their failings.
Vanitas
Vanitas is a stuffed bunny from the JRPGMonarkwith a character quirk that becomes utterly grating rather quickly.
Vanitas is surely a character that would not be missed among players of this JRPG.
He literally offers pretty much no help to the player.
Vanitas is just there to say some fancy words and help you grind out insanely long battles.
Ashley Graham
Ashley Graham is the damsel in distress in Resident Evil 4.
Ashleys existence in the game, however, is one that players rarely remember fondly.
Existing solely as a walking, talking escort mission with a grating voice and little to no survival skills.
In fact, Ashley, at many points throughout the game, must be escorted by Leon.

Players who played this classic game will no doubt remember.
Protecting this girl who always seemed to get herself into peril.
From Ashley as she was being either killed or captured.
This made for an aggravating experience.

This does not make up for the annoyances he caused many gamers in their childhood or adolescence.
Typically used for comedy rather than combat.
Navi
Navi is our hero Links navigator in the classic Ocarina of Time.
Whether it be reverberating through the ears of veteran Zelda players or invading some innocent and uninitiated gamers eardrums.
Navi is surely always going to be an annoyance and a hindrance to the replayability of this classic title.
Most players find the character’s existence nauseating to the point where they will purposefully skip Paimons dialogue.
Whether it be the childlike speech pattern or just the sheer shrillness of her voice.
Having this character as an ever-present companion throughout hours upon hours of gameplay.
This is sure to grate on the nerves of players.
Making her one of the most annoying characters and certainly a sidekick we can live without.
