Link and Zelda make the Guinness Book of World Records

Monday, February 21, 2011

The people over at the Guinness Book of World Records recently came out with the latest edition of their best-selling gaming book: The Guinness Book of World Records Gamer Edition. Inside is the list of the top 50 video game characters of all-time, based on votes received in a large poll. Coming in at #2 is Link, scoring just below Mario at #1, no real surprise there. Below Link at #3 is Master Chief from Halo. Princess Zelda also came in on the list at #31. Here's an excerpt from their press release: “The world has seen so many pivotal characters throughout the history of gaming that asking our readers to narrow it down to just 50 was a challenge in itself,” says Gaz Deaves, Guinness World Records Gaming Editor. “Some of the choices on the list are obvious, some less so, but it’s sure to get gamers talking about their faves.”

Guinness Book also came up with a little app on Facebook that tells what video game character you are most like based on 10 questions. You can take the quiz via Facebook here.
