Greatest Video Game Couples

The Top Ten
Link & Zelda - The Legend of Zelda

Great, truly timeless couple. The wall of text defending Midna (not that I hate her or anything) was not necessary. Please go elsewhere with that.

One of the most unique original couples. Zelda is a great guardian and uses magical firepower. No other princess can. Sheik is awesome too.

The first moment I saw them together, they instantly became my favorite ship.

Mario & Princess Peach - Super Mario Bros.

Okay, first off, I really love this couple. It's my favorite. Bowser and Peach did not make children. The Koopalings were adopted, except for Bowser Jr., whose mom is some other woman in the Mario comic series. So Peach and Mario are the best couple ever. Although Peach can be irritating sometimes, that won't stop me from loving this couple.

This couple is not "awful," and I see Caps Girl has found a new target. In any case, this is actually a very sweet couple and only gets hate because of the frightening amount of hatred directed at Peach herself.

Luigi & Princess Daisy - Super Mario Bros.
Shulk & Fiora - Xenoblade Chronicles

Honestly, my favorite couple in all of video games. This should be way higher, but Xenoblade Chronicles is such an underrated game.

Chrom & Robin - Fire Emblem: Awakening

Obviously, this can only be canon if "Robin" (or whatever you named the character you play as) is female, but interpret what you will from the chemistry and interactions occurring even when playing as a dude.

It really, really adds to the story when these two end up in love or married.

Too bad it can only happen if you're playing as a female.

Nintendo seems to have caught on - they haven't even tried to push Chrom/Sumia since "FE Awakening" itself. Now, where you see one of these guys (general "guys" since Robin can also be female), you see the other. Even "Smash 3DS/Wii U" still had Chrom appear as Robin's Final Smash and did not bother to change this when Chrom became a separate character in "Ultimate."

Vito Scaletta & Joe Barbaro - Mafia II

Nothing like a good old-fashioned bromance. Joe and Vito look out for one another. Joe is the wild, loud, and reckless one, while Vito is the calm and smart one. Go Vi-joe.

The chemistry between these two mobsters is priceless. Who needs a short-assed Robin Hood wannabe and his bimbo princess when you can have two trash-talking gangsters?

One of the greatest video game bromances in recent memory.

Yuri & Alice - Shadow Hearts

The most romantic and moving couple for me. Their romance is so deep that it can't be compared to anything else.

Sean Devlin & Skylar St. Claire - The Saboteur

A pint and a shag was all Sean Devlin ever needed, and Skylar didn't disappoint.

Andy Bogard & Mai Shiranui - King of Fighters

Sorry, fanboys, but it's been made very clear who Mai's heart belongs to, and it's not you, your original character, or whatever other existing character (male or female, from KOF or anything else) you personally prefer over Andy.

And "Fatal Fury." "King of Fighters" started out as a crossover game between "Fatal Fury," "Art of Fighting," "Psycho Soldier," and "Ikari Warriors."

Ness & Paula - Earthbound

The Newcomers

? Sonic & Shadow - Sonic the Hedgehog

The absolute best ship ever! They are so good that they even have their own game, Sonic X Shadow Generations. Who else can say this about their video game ship?

? Ren Amamiya & Tae Takemi - Persona 5
The Contenders
Pac-Man & Mrs. Pac-Man - Pac-Man
Squall Leonhart & Rinoa Heartilly - Final Fantasy VIII
Cole Phelps & Elsa Lichtmann - L.A. Noire
Soap MacTavish & John Price - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
Leo Galante & Frank Vinci - Mafia II
Cloud Strife & Tifa Lockhart - Final Fantasy VII

I would write something here, but the shipping wars in the FF7 community are notoriously intense.

Eddie Scarpa & Carlo Falcone - Mafia II
Chris Redfield & Jill Valentine - Resident Evil

The first Resident Evil couple and the most original.

Better than Chris and Sheva if you ask me.

Mega Man & Splash Woman - Mega Man
Male & Female Wii Fit Trainer - Wii Fit
Ike & Soren - Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

I admit I thought Soren was a woman at first, but once I found out otherwise, I didn't think any differently of this pairing.

If they're not "together," explain why the Spirit battle with Soren in Smash Ultimate involves Ike.

It's just really, really sweet. And I don't usually ship two male characters together.

Young Cricket & Ashley - WarioWare
Bolo & Risky Boots - Shantae
Nathan Drake & Elena Fisher - Uncharted
Ryu & Chun-Li - Street Fighter
