The recently released Gamer’s Edition of the Guinness World Records 2011 has both Zelda and Link honored in the top 50 video game characters of all time. Our beautiful Princess Zelda landed a solid ranking of 31 while Link took the Silver ribbon and got second Princess Zelda fell in at #31 while Link took the #2 spot. Nintendo’s mascot and idol Mario of course got the highest ranking.
Several other Nintendo characters were honored in the list including Samus at 14th, Yoshi at 21, and Ash, from Pokemon, at 37th. Out of the top 50 Nintendo had themselves quite a collection of honorees which shows that Nintendo’s franchises are some of the most respected and enjoyed games out there.
So what do you think, did Link deserve the number 1 slot? Let us know in the comments!
