Your "Greatest Video Game Character Ever"

Who do you guys consider to be the greatest video game character ever to you? Note that this may not necessarily be your favorite video game character as well, the two can be mutually exclusive.

 

For me, I say Mister Torgue High-Five Flexington (that's "Mister Torgue" first name, "High-Five" middle name, "Flexington" last name) from the Borderlands series. If you're not familiar with him, here's an example of his character, from the intro video to his DLC from Borderlands 2:

To be honest "greatest video game character" would change for me over time, because many games there will be one or two characters that I just really enjoy. So going to go with one that's been a favorite of mine for years.

Lute from Fire Emblem Sacred Stones. SS was my first FE game, when I was about 12-14 or so and Lute was an early character, yet she's still my favorite of the series.

Link, to me, is the best overall. He's not my favorite. But he's amazing. He represents everything that an adventure should be. Going out by yourself, learning about the world, meeting new people, growing stronger, exploring, maturing.

I'd also like to point out Mario didn't single-handedly save the industry, as LoZ helped too.

Uhhh not really. Mario 1 sold 40 million units worldwide and came bundled with the system. Zelda 1 only had 6 million, which is a little over half of the lowest selling Mario game on the system.

I don't think you can really count the games that came with the system.

And he didn't say it was the biggest help, just that Mario didn't do it on his own.

But yeah Mario is the biggest contributor.

NINTENDO did it on their own, pretty much, but Mario was NOT alone xD

He was the major player by more than a long shot.

I don't think you guys really understand how dead the industry was and how big an impact Super Mario Bros made.

I definitely do, but as I said, he didn't do it alone. Sure I'd place him right below Link, but I feel as a character, Link is superior due to...well, everything his game represents.
