Coolest Video Game Characters

Link does not talk or have a set personality. It's a shame because I always saw Link as a character of his own. Oh, and by the way, Link is not mute. He can talk no matter what anyone says.
I really wish they would include voice acting in these games. It would make them even cooler than they already are.
And now a little something about Link. I like Link because:
1. He is the main character.
2. I like his hat.
3. I love his designs.
4. The way I perceive his personality is something I love.
5. He cares about others.
6. I like his sword.
7. I love his determination.
8. He can be serious and goofy.
9. He carries the burden of saving the world on his shoulders.
10. He's smart.
Overall, he is just a really good character. Some people can't see this because he is only half a real character. Some view him as an avatar, while others see him as a character, so over time, he became both. I hope that someday Link will have a personality of his own.

I would vote for Snake, but Dante is way too low on this list. Just look at him, and you know he's badass. He's a devil hunter with a sword, guns, a red trench coat, and white hair, and he's a demon! He taunts enemies quadruple his size, then proceeds to whip their ass. Every line he says in 1, 3, and 4 is cool. His overall style, mannerisms, and demeanor are cool. He's just a cool guy!
My childhood. He may be cheesy, but he's the coolest out there. Being in the top two and above would be an insult. He does almost everything stylishly. His cockiness, taunting even the biggest demon and kicking its ass with those stylish combos, makes him badass.

People say Kirby is the most powerful video game character, but he is not! Kirby fell from space, but so has Master Chief - twice! Kirby defeated armies of marshmallows, while Master Chief defeated the biggest alien army known to gaming, a race of space parasites that threaten life itself, and an army of soldiers made of light, led by one of the beings the alien army worships!
One of the most iconic figures in gaming history, indisputably. Wears titanium alloy power armor, has access to a variety of weapons and vehicles, and against all odds, took down a multi-species alien empire by inciting a rebellion. He blew up not one but two giant superweapons and one giant alien space city, amassing an impressive kill count (especially if you count High Charity and the two Halo rings). He could probably destroy every other character on this list without a problem. He is by far the coolest character ever!



Let's face it. We all want a voice as cool as Snake's, a cool name like Snake, and to look like Snake.
Coolest character in gaming history.

Leon deserves to be at least in the top 5 because he is, in my opinion, the coolest and most handsome character ever made in gaming history.
He is the best, coolest, and most good-looking gaming character. His hairstyle is just killer. He obviously deserves the #1 place. Leon Scott Kennedy just rocks.

Badass. He is referred to as "the most dangerous man alive" in one of the Saints Row games. Gat went to hell, learned to fly, killed Satan, and was respected by God so much that God granted him one wish. Hands down, one of the most badass characters I have ever seen.

He deserves #1. All his Italian accent, the cape, the hood, the heroic mix of personality as playboy, assassin, warrior, brawler, and leader. He is the coolest.
Simply the coolest video game character of all time. Requiescat in pace.

My favorite characters are Trevor Phillips, Altair, Kratos, John Marston, Master Chief, Nathan Drake, Joel, Solid Snake, and Vaas, but Scorpion takes it all. He's such a boss.
The Newcomers




Lara Croft is the most badass and coolest female video game character of all time. She deserves to be at least in the top 10 on this list.


Seven minutes. Seven minutes is all the time I have to play with you.


Max Payne kills bastards in slow motion or "bullet time," and he can also kill an entire army of bastards by himself.
Most notorious video game anti-hero.
Max Payne's bullet time is cool.
