Coolest Video Game Characters

Link dose not talk or really have a set personality, it's a shame because I always looked at Link like a character of his own. Oh! And by the way Link is not a mute he can talk no matter what anybody says.
I really wish they would put voice acting in these games, it would make them even more cool then 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 see his personality, 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.
And over all just a really good character, some people just can't see this because he is only half a real character. Some still view him as an avatar, others view him as a character, so over time he became both.
And I hope that some day Link will get a real personality of his ...more
Reasons why Link is the coolest character ever
1. His clothes.
2. His courage
3. His skill
4. His silence. He is not mute. The tower of gods in Wind Waker and Zelda's diary in botw show that he can talk, but prefer not to.
5. How. Many. Times. He. Saved. Hyrule. From. Ganon, Vaati, And demise? (And the triforce of courage is nothing compared to the other two, especially wisdom.)
6. He is stoic.
7. He have the Master Sword.
8. His hat.
9. He's smart and serious.
10. The hylian shield.
11. A link to the past. Play it.
12. He's strong. VERY strong. Examples: botw, twilight princess.
13. He cares about others more than anyone in the series.
It sucks that he is the only Nintendo character in the top 20, but he is at number 1 like he should be! Link is awesome!
Reasons why Link is awesome:1. He shows his emotions through his actions.2. He makes wearing a skirt look cool.3. That hat

I would vote for Snake, but Dante is WAY to low on this list. All you have to do is look at him and you know he's bad ass. He's a devil hunter with a sword, guns, red trench coat and white hair, and he's a demon! He taunts enemies quadruple the size of him then proceeds to whop their ass. Every line he says in 1,3, & 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 top two and above would be an insult. He does almost everything stylish. His cockiness, taunting even the biggest demon and kicking its ass with them SSStylish combos makes him badass.
He is the like one of the best video game characters of all time, he deserves a higher rank on this list.
Dante is 20th!?
You gotta be kidding me...

People say Kirby is the most powerful video game character and he is not! Kirby fell from space, so has master chief, Twice! Kirby defeated army's of marshmallows, master chief defeated: the biggest alien army known to gaming, a race of space parasites that threatens life itself, and an army soldiers made of LIGHT led by one of the very beings that the alien army worships!
One of the most iconic figures in gaming history indisputably. Wear's titanium alloy power armor, has access to a variety of of weapons and vehicles, against all odds took down a multi-species alien empire by inciting a rebellion, blew up not one but two giant super weapons and one giant alien space city, has racked up an impressive kill count (especially if you count High Charity and the two Halo rings) Could probably destroy every other character on this list no problem. He is by far the coolest character EVER!
Maybe not the most iconic, but in terms of style/coolness the Chief takes this one. His silent demeanor, legendary space armor and whole character just ebbs awesome.
Just look at his armor! It makes Kratos look like a child playing pretend war with his buddies! Also, he gives out many, many more badass one-liners than Link ever will.

Yes! Sonic is the coolest hedgehog on earth.
Somehow I like Mario but I act like Sonic.
I was already expecting this guy.
This is why I clicked on this list.


Lets face it we all want a voice as cool as snake's, we all want a cool name like Snake and we all want to look like snake.
Coolest character in gaming history.
He's pretty darn awesome
Metal gear 3d is awesome


Leon deserves to be at least in the top 5 because he is in my opinion is the most coolest and handsome looking character ever made in gaming history.
Where did everybody go? Bingo?!
Best Character from capcom!
This guy should be on the top 1!

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 1 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, Assasin, warrior, brawler, leader. He his the COOLEST
Simply the coolest video game character of all time
Requiescat en pace
The Newcomers


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.
Scorpion for the win



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


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.
Payne in the ass to the max!

7 Minutes, 7 Minutes is all the time I have to play with you.


He is awesome


Snake is overrated and overloved. Mario is classic but still overloved


More cold, efficient, and focused than Ezio, making him an imposing character and a ruthless killer.

Kartos is awesome in god of war 3
ENGAGE in brutal combat using devastating new weapons attack moves and godlike powers.
Strongest mortal in the world and deserves to be #1!
