8 Video Game Protagonists Who Would Be Better Villains
1. Link - The Legend of Zelda
And finally we have The Legend of Zelda's Link, who is undeniably one of the most iconic video game heroes of all time.
But oh, how things could be so different.
Link is silent and indomitable - he won't ever stop until the day is won, while being aided by a vast array of weapons and abilities, with new powers typically being introduced in each successive game.
Link's most notable abilities from past titles include time, matter, and weather manipulation, the power to transform into a wolf, and superhuman strength.
It's great for players, but just imagine if the shoe was on the other foot and all of this was coming at you - you probably wouldn't be making cracks about his goofy green tunic now, would you?
As a wordless warrior who is seemingly unstoppable despite his small stature, Link has as much in common with Kevin from Sin City as he does a typical hero. Just with less cannibalism, obviously.
