Duke losing to Link was like the WTF moment of 2009.



No you don't. At least I didn't.

do you just have to be logged into the site then? i saw a little facebook thingy there and it wouldnt let me vote but as i said i wasnt logged into the gamespot site

if your talking about who came first then eh mario and donkey kong came way before link so that reasoning doesn't really work

You're mistaking Link for Mario, I do believe.

From what i've played and read, you have to save Zelda (she was trapped in a cell) and use the triforce of power to restore peace in Hyrule.

I'm only basing off the first game as i never really played any others after.

Link gets my vote. Half-life is an awesome game and I love playing them, but Zelda is an even more awesome game and I really do like medieval-type of games, with swords, bows and monsters :p

Thats because anyone who was voting hasn't played games since genesis on gamespot, there all about the Playstation/Nintendo Era, and Sonic was the most bad ass when he was on the Genesis.
