Story

Tetra has set up a trial where Link has to collect Pirate's Medals to test if Link is worthy of a full-grown pirate. Three members of Tetra's Pirate Crew have disguised look like Link to compete with him fairly .

(rewrote to match the manual's story)

Gameplay

While the setting of the mode is based on The Wind Waker, the gameplay is similar to the other game modes. The objective of Navi Trackers is to run through the courses, which come in various themes, and collect Pirate’s Medals from the characters on the map in numerical order in nine minutes. The gameplay takes place on the Game Boy Advance screen, while the whole map appears on the TV screen. On the course, six characters are holding flags with numbers that are the same as the number on the medal they will give. In the expert courses, the numbers of the flags are all hidden. The map on the TV screen shows where the characters are located, but the number the of flags is only seen on the Game Boy Advance screen.

(there are only five characters in each groups! I can't even count numbers)

There are a total of 99 numbered medals to be collected, after which a Course Crown medal appears. The session will end early once the Course Crown is taken. The group of six characters come in four variants that correspond to the course chosen to play. In the beginning of a session, one of the characters is randomly chosen as the bonus character, and the medals they give are valued twice as much as regular medals.

Talking to the character when the icon flashes with a red color and spiky effect also provides one extra medal for free. The bonus character always has the red icon and gives extra medals.

(added the detail about the bonus character)

Development

Navi Trackers, originally titled Tetra's Trackers, was based on the BS Marvelous: Time Athletic and BS Marvelous: Camp Arnold Broadcast Satellite games based on Marvelous: Another Treasure Island, in which players collected stamps while listening to the audio navigation that is represented as a radio broadcast. This transmission was replaced with a connectivity function, and the navigator was replaced with Tetra, and her pirate crew make appearances. The director of Navi Trackers, Yoshinori Tsuchiyama is involved in the development of all three titles of Marvelous as an artist.

(replaced ULR with an archived one and made the title a whole translation)

• Instead of Medals, stamps are collected instead. According to an interview, the change happened in the later stages of development.

(replaced ULR with an archived one and made the title a whole translation)

Legacy

• Earlier than Breath of the Wild, Navi Trackers features full voice acting that is played along with animation and lip-syncing in Japanese. Randomly occurring rain is also present that extinguishes fires on the field.

(made it exclude the CD-i trilogy)

Trivia

• The early artwork where is a bunch of reuse from TWW【rewrite properly later】

Story (from the manual)

On a small island, in the Great Sea.
"Hey! Are you guys ready?"
Tetra calls her pirate crew from the top of a small platform.
The crew all over the island respond to her, flags in their hands.

“Miss! I’m ready!”
“Is this the right place, Miss?”
“I’m here, Miss! Can you see me?”

“Well, my guys are doing good. Now just wait for Link to... Hey, he’s coming.”

Link followed the pirates, and then the three boys jumped out of nowhere and surprised him. The boys are exactly like him, wearing the same clothes as him but in red, blue, and purple.

"Link, the guys are my swabbies. Today, I'll give you a test to make you a pirate. Compete with them. They're dressed like you, so my other swabbies can't go easy on their matey. Aren't they identical to you? If you understand what’s going on, hurry to the starting point! The trial will begin soon!”

大海原に浮かぶ、とある小さな島。

「おーい！準備はいいかい？」
小高いやぐらの上からのテトラの呼び声に、島のあちこちにいる、手に旗を持った海賊達が応えます。

「あねきー！こっちは準備ＯＫですぜ！」
「ここいらへんでいいですか？あねきー！」
「おいら、ここにいますよ！あねきー、見えますか？」

「よし、いい感じだね。あとはリンクが…………っと思ったら、来た来た。」

海賊達の後を追いかけてやってきたリンクは、目の前に躍り出た、自分とそっくりの赤い服、青い服、紫の服を着た少年を見てびっくりしています。

「リンク、そのあんたにそっくりな赤い服、青い服、紫の服を着たヤツは私の子分さ。今日はあんたを一人前の海賊にするために、そいつらとちょっとした試験をやるんだけど、子分だとわかって他の仲間が手ごころ加えるといけないから、みんなにはあんたそっくりに変装させたってわけさ。良く似てるだろ？わかったら、さっさとスタート地点に並ぶんだ！さっそく試験を始めるよ！」
(Note:"みんなには" seems to be a typo of "みんな" or it's whole unnecessary)

Interview

Tsuchiyama: In the planning stage, I came up with an idea similar to an automotive navigation system. The idea was that a woman sitting on the passenger seat would guide you and do commentaries, but I wanted to aim for a broader audience, having various types of voices each of them could have fun with. There was also a feature where the player and the navigator could talk to each other. The feature was omitted since we decided that just getting called by name [from the navigator] was fun enough. The game became the current version after many choices were made.

N.O.M: We heard that a large portion of the contents were changed from the first plan.

Tsuchiyama: The collective item was the stamps until recently. It was changed when we discussed how we should shape the game to match the style of Zelda. The pirates' medals would fit more, as something you'll get from pirates.

Aonuma: Miyamoto firmly said “if you change that [the collective item], the whole mood of the game would change”. Though it may seem a small detail, the change makes the system totally fit in the aesthetic. Changing one core feature means we need to change other things as well, from the re-recording of the voices to everything. Still, we agreed it'd be worth the effort...

土山　企画段階では自動車のナビゲーションみたいに女性が助手席にいて、色々と指示してくれたりコメントをくれたりするものを考えていました。でもそれだけじゃなく、それぞれの年代の人が聴いて楽しめる声を入れたかったんですね。それと、はじめは会話みたいな感じのやり取りを入れていたんですが、単純に名前を呼んでもらえるって嬉しいよねということで、取捨選択があってこのバージョンになりました。

N.O.M　内容が当初の予定からは大幅に改変されたという話を伺いましたが。

土山　先日までは、集めるものがスタンプだったんですが。ゼルダというテイストを考えた時に、「海賊からもらうもの」ということで海賊のメダルに変更されました。

青沼　宮本が「そこを変えると、ゲームのイメージがガラッと変わる」と断言したんです。些細なことのように思うかもしれませんが、実際に変更したら、この世界観と違和感なくピッタリ一致しました。仕様をひとつ変えるということは、音声録音から始まって、とにかく全部が変わるので大変なんです。でも、これは変えた方がいいということで…。
