Mario and Link at #1 and #2 were obvious choices. However I do think that the list is incomplete without Ryu(or Ken), Samus Aran, Simon(or Richter) Belmont and Donkey Kong.

Sonic should definitely have been placed higher and Master Chief above Solid Snake is blasphemy!

Anyway, it's someone's opinion. How can it be wrong?

"Ryu(or Ken), Samus Aran, Simon(or Richter) Belmont"
Are you kidding? I had to google them before I realized who they are.

antz11045612d ago

@ Above, what rock do you live under?

Thought Sephiroth was more memorable than Cloud.

Etseix5612d ago

No Duke? yeah hes been missing for 10+ years but cmon, he needs a place in here... unless this list is made by kids who only plays mario, halo, zelda, games :/

mathsman5612d ago

x5exotic5612d ago

Etseix5612d ago

agree, IMO San Andreas had the best "dialog" from all GTA's (imo)

Laeto2565612d ago

you cant have cloud without sephiroth, and cant have sephiroth without cloud. the 2 are so interconnected both as characters and fame.

ryan_s5612d ago

what about zack cloud is connected more to zack than to sephiroth

Laeto2565612d ago

after crisis core, but in the original their connection wasn't shown as much. but yeah zack is there too but then if you count zach you have to bring in angeal and genesis it's a big clusterf**** with these SOLDIER's lol

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Review

Gary Green said: Being a writer exclusively for PlayStation is immensely rewarding, yet it does have its drawbacks. It was easy enough to distance myself from the ever decreasing number of Xbox exclusives, yet parting ways with Nintendo was hard, and it only got harder over time. Sooner or later, I knew I'd be back, and as I frantically search for the most efficient and cost-effective ways to play the Nintendo classics which I've missed out on over the years, revisiting the best of the best comes first.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time came out during a time where every console had its charms. Whether you were team Sega, Nintendo, or Sony, everyone knew the game's potential, and the players who invested in Nintendo's chunky N64 console were not disappointed. Like Sega's ill-fated Saturn, it may have been a console which lacked in quantity of games, but the quality was certainly there.

Ocarina of Time was a game that was hard to put down. We would bounce home excitedly from high school, ready to wander the lands of Hyrule once again to find another secret or two, before preparing ourselves to tackle that next intimidating dungeon. It's time to retell this story. Ready your ocarina.

I've been waiting years for this review!

DivineHand125325d ago

Yes, this is one of the true masterpieces that I believe every core gamer should play.

It even holds up to this day.

Babadook7325d ago

There is a heavily rumoured Switch 2 remake also.

franwex325d ago

I’ve never heard of this rumor.
