The Most Iconic Video Game Characters of All Time

Link

Link is the other Nintendo legend that pushed the industry into a realm it never touched before. The Legend of Zelda didn't invent the adventure game, but it did provide the player with a real sense of adventure. Referring to The Legend of Zelda for the NES, the player is dropped into a world with no information about it, the rest is discovered through context and exploration. You essentially make your own adventure, the character doesn't find items, YOU do. The Legend of Zelda gave the player a sense of accomplishment through curiosity, compared to other games that would reward the player for their dexterity, this was a huge step for the industry.
