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?

digitalivan4835d ago

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

antz11044835d ago

@ Above, what rock do you live under?

Thought Sephiroth was more memorable than Cloud.

Etseix4835d 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 :/

mathsman4835d ago

Mario & Link? Surprise =0.

trains4835d ago

John Marston
Brucie Kibbutz
Lance Vance
Nathan Drake
Blowjob gal from Gay Tony

tablav4835d ago

Fan of Rockstar perhaps?

"This is the last dance for Lance Vance!!!!"

trains4835d ago

well rockstar characters have personality's that other developers have trouble beating :P

x5exotic4835d ago

they all sounds the same,,,rockstar characters that is.
except CJ is the coolest

Etseix4835d ago

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

Laeto2564835d ago

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

ryan_s4835d ago

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

Laeto2564835d 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

Releasing the Nintendo Switch 2 with a Super Mario 64 remake would be the perfect way to unleash the console to the world.

If they ever did I hope they would add onto it, there's so much you could do with Princess Peach's castle alone

roadkillers70d ago

Or just make the Mario 128... the cancelled sequel that sounded amazing (or was it just an amazing tale).

fr0sty69d ago

Funny that after all these years, we still use 64 bit CPUs, so it wouldn't make sense to call it that.

fr0sty69d ago

Yeah, a straight remake doesn't sound good to me. Same formula, but different game.

Number1TailzFan71d ago

Each level is pretty small today in the original game, I don't like huge levels but I think they could be at least 2x bigger, or close to it and more of them, with more things to do.

They could do a mix of having open levels and more linear ones like in 3D World or Land, I doubt they will do that but it would make a change.

Neonridr70d ago

I mean Odyssey's levels weren't massive, but requiring you to do different things in each world is what made the levels feel bigger than they were.

ZeekQuattro70d ago

I'd prefer a Oydessey 2 or Galaxy 3. Besides the DS
game was a Mario 64 remake complete with more playable characters, stages, bosses and muti player content.

Cacabunga70d ago (Edited 70d ago )

I did not like Odyssey i found the idea of ot lame.. i find it boring to just look for moons instead of exploring and enjoying the levels. Let’s not talk about the extremely repetitive and ridiculously easy bosses. Level design is so meh most of the time. Galaxy 2 is a far better game so Galaxy 3 anytime!!!

TiredGamer69d ago

Agreed. I enjoyed Odyssey for a while, but it quickly became very formulaic where each level felt like a checklist of things to do with WAY too many moons to find. The Galaxy series were the best, as they took some of what made 64 great and juiced it up perfectly.

Lolly70d ago

Yes! Let's release an almost 30 year old game to kick off the next generation for Nintendo...
I'm over re-releases...FEED ME NEW MARIO!

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the anti-Breath of the Wild

Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."

LG_Fox_Brazil118d ago

Ocarina of Time changed my life forever, such a masterpiece

Zeldafan64118d ago

Hard to believe it's 25 years old already.

Cacabunga118d ago

The feeling this game gave me the first time i had my hands on it is indescribable.. i still get the chill from that day..
botw is like a spin off of the series.. it’s fun but with many flaws and the most important which is Zelda formula isn’t there..

FinalFantasyFanatic117d ago

I can't even remember how many times I played through OoT, I finished that game, and collected everything so many times.

Vits118d ago

I generally agree with the author here. However, if I had to point out a single game as the 'anti-Breath of the Wild,' that would be Majora's Mask. Pretty much everything in that game is interconnected, relies on something that the player must have done previously, is timed, and can be considered a puzzle in itself.

gold_drake118d ago

but still considered the best of the seties.

i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.

franwex118d ago (Edited 118d ago )

25 years from today whatever Zelda is out people would too be looking fondly at Breath of the Wild.

Ah the more simple times of the 2020s.

babadivad117d ago (Edited 117d ago )

It isn't...
