    Link is much cooler than mario. His games are also way better. He deserved number 1

    Sure, he DESERVES to be number one, but Mario appeals to a HUGE audience and thus is most popular. There's absolutely no shame in losing to Mario though. In fact, I'd say Link would be pretty happy right now if he found out he made the number 2 spot. ;)

    Oh, and by the way, it's "Ash" not "Ask".
