10 Best Silent Protagonists In Gaming History
5. Wander
It takes a special kind of man to take on 16 colossal beasts in an effort to bring somebody back from the dead. Armed with little more than a sword, a bow and his trusty horse Agro, that's exactly what Wander sets out to do in an effort to save the life of a young maiden who has apparently been sacrificed due to having a cursed destiny.
Ignoring the implications of slaughtering these mostly peaceful creatures and the effects that doing so has on Wander himself, the fact that he interacts with a strange entity named Dormin - who provides instruction on what he needs to do - and does what he needs to do without ever saying a word speaks to the quiet determination of the young lad.
Wander starred in one of the best games of the PS2 era and accomplished feats that should be completely beyond any human, nevermind one of such slight stature. Though his efforts brought about a tragic end for himself, the fact that he made them at all is more than enough reason for inclusion on this list.
