If you're talking about strength of will, then there's no greater "hero" than the Doom Slayer. His will is unyielding to a fault. But I'm not sure that he would fit on this list.

"A hero is someone who is concerned about other people's well being, and will go out of his or her way to help them, even if there is no chance of a reward. That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do, is indeed without a doubt, a real superhero.” - Stan Lee (1922 - 2018)

With the Yakuza hurting a dog thing, I like to think he goes by a similar philosophy to late doctor of journalism (and fellow morally nuanced fella) Hunter Thompson: "Only a punk beats his wife and dog."

[@Avenger85438]

Kiryu's line " I've never killed anyone" is actually a bit of a mistranslation. I read somewhere that what he's really saying is more akin to "I've never murdered someone", as in he's never premeditated, or plotted, somebody's death. Which fits better with that scene where he blatantly used a guy as a shield from a hail of gunfire and all those likely casualties from his beatings. He didn't plan any of deaths, it all happened within the heat of battle.

[@Doublemonk0506]

Eh, that guy can walk it off

[@beastwarsFTW]

He also has a 'didn't start this but I will end this" mentality.

[@WolfDB]

Honestly, I think the big thing about Link is that it IS different people that all decide to be heroes that makes him the perfect Hero. Link didn't need to be the one to save the Great Deku Tree, but he did so anyway. He didn't need to be the one to go off and save Aryl from the Helmaroc King, but he did it anyway. He didn't need to be the one to save ANY of the kids in the village, especially since their parents, especially Rusl, who were far more talented than him, but he did it anyway. Despite all of them being the reincarnation of the same guy, he could've, at any point, just decided he didn't want to do any of these things. And mind you, these are all really BEFORE he gets the Triforce of Courage or before it reveals itself to be in his possession. He EARNS that Triforce piece. He did these difficult, unenviable tasks and got himself in way over his head not because it was his destiny, but because it's what a good person does. Heck, in some cases, he doesn't even have the Triforce, and he STILL decides to go off and do heroic things even though he could've just sat back and said "Eh, that's someone else's problem" Link is an easy pick for number 1, and that's absolutely why he deserves it

[@starmaker75]

It werid to think that always thought that link was actually a title, something a hylian takes to save hydrule, it doesn't matter if they have triforce of courage or the reincarnation of "the hero".

[@ZERO9098767]

"Link didn't need to be the one to save the Great Deku Tree" He was literally sumoned by The Great Deku Tree. That's how Link and Navi meet. It's how OoT starts.

I think that’s why the reincarnation is unique for the legend of Zelda, it’s not one souls being born over again, it’s the courage of the hero finding itself in someone again and again.

[@alphamarigi]

Oscar Duarte Quirk: Scorpion Oscar has the abilities of an scorpion, including his stinger that carries a paralyzing venom powerful enough to stun Nomus. Thebtail is super strong and flexible, and the stinger can act as a grappling hook and can hook enemies so he can pull them towards him. The catch is that he doesn't do well in cold temperatures.

[@TheAccursedHunter01]

I'd argue that Samus' best moment of heroism is in Metroid Prime 2. Samus' mission is to find a Galactic Federation platoon that went missing on the Rogue Planet Aether. When Samus arrives she quickly discovers that the platoon was wiped out, even recovering video evidence. At that point, Samus could have gone back to her ship intended to leave, her job's over. However, after viewing the video, Samus kneels down to close the eye of one of the dead troopers and then continues onward to avenger their deaths. Shortly thereafter Samus meets U-Mos, the last active Luminoth, the native species of Aether. At first Samus keeps her Arm Cannon trained on U-Mos just in case, but once Samus hears of the Luminoth's plight, she immediately lowers her Arm Cannon and agrees to help. Once Samus knew what was going on she immediately decided to help the Luminoth stop the Ing, even though Samus wasn't going to get paid for it afterwards. Samus didn't become a warrior for fame, fortune or power. Her primary motivator was to protect people considering the trauma she suffered as a child. She continually does the right thing solely because it's the right thing to do, despite what she's lost and that she continually loses people close to her. If she doesn't do it, who will?

[@recentteen14]

To be fair, her ship was in repair mode, there was no guarantee it could make it back to space with the permanent storm still raging as the planet is literally split between 2 realities, and even if those weren't factors - some jackasses stole her weapons. AGAIN. That couldn't stand.

[@neojay7522]

Not to mention that final scene when she returned the last of Aether's light. All of the hibernating Luminoth awaken, and almost immediately start thanking Samus for saving them and their planet. And what does Samus do? She doesn't say a word and simply goes back to her ship, leaving the Luminoth with a simple wave. Not once did she take the time to bask in the well-deserved praise being heaped on her.

[@zeldasmetaknight]

10. He's been trough many things in life, death, and betrayal. I wish we do have a sequel for that game. I'd join him in any battles. 9. His power comes from bondship from everyone he saves, I'm looking forward to his journey to happen. 8. It glorious to see his big change. 7. This man is the best in his career, he's one of the smartest man in gaming universe. 6. Never mess with this serious man especially dogs. 5. She's knows the right move at all times. I always feel her from her eyes in her helmet. 4. He's been through many things that could drive anyone insane or lead to suicide, but he does ever heroic action, he's the greatest solder in the gaming universe. 3. Why can't we have more heroes like him, we need more swordsman who start low to best. 2. There's an old saying, "everyone deserve a second chance" why can't everyone see it that way. 1. He's definitely my hero and my parents hero, as a kid I pretend to be him with a fake toys. I'm honestly happy to see everyone on the list

[@e-sarge345]

Happy to see Phoenix and Kiryu here! I've also just started Path of Radiance, so I'm looking forward to seeing Ike's heroism firsthand. One character I always think about when it comes to the hero archetype is Adol Christin from Ys. He's a pretty Link-like character in that he's a primarily silent protagonist who gets roped into and resolves a bunch of unrelated incidents. The main difference is that he's one guy as opposed to a bunch of reincarnations, which means he has the absolute WORST luck when it comes to getting shipwrecked and being pulled into adventures that determine the fate of the world.

[@bropen5]

when the world feels so terrible right now, this list feels pretty perfectly timed to remember it feels good to be a good person. Oscar's unabashed wholesomeness and genuine enthusiasm are infectious. It's hard not to have grown bitter, growing up in this world, but optimism like this reminds me why I fight those feelings, and try to stay positive. The world could always use more heroes

[@shadowlinkbds]

I still remember your original video game heroes countdown as one of your first countdowns that you did. Of course they're more options for some iconic heroes now that many years have passed so I'm looking forward to this updated list to see if they're new changes in the entries.

[@wrightcore3367]

I like how even after all this time, four of these entries are from the OG list (three of which even stayed in their original spots).

[@erichfiedler1481]

Damn, it's been a while since you've did a full countdown, and no, that movie edition of your top 50 favorite games doesn't count, and it's a remake of your very first countdown, not bad. Reminds of when James A. Janise remade his original Kill Counts of the Friday the 13th franchise, since it was how his channel got started while the new game was fresh in people's minds and wasn't shut down due to an ongoing lawsuit between people who made the films

[@Eiskralle1]

I love everything about this list, except for one thing. And that's only that you didn't mention Minish Cap in the Link entry, because I freaking love that game and think it deserves more attention, and also because I think that's one of the best Links, just from how his journey is basically all personal and yet all worldsaving. He's just a kid who wants to save his best friend, but at no point do I get the feeling he would do anything else if the person in stone was a rando he'd never met. And that's not even getting into all the good he does for everyone else around.

[@aneonfoxtribute]

Gonna shout out Estelle Bright from Trails in the Sky. Everyone literally describes her as bright as the sun and it's obvious why. She may be snarky and very eager to whack people with her big stick, but her heart of gold shines so bright that she rehabilitates TWO former assassins, jaded from their respective childhoods and out to kill whoever gets in the way of their goal, and makes them her family.

[@vittoriopugliese3352]

Nero deserves a spot on the list. Broke a four decade long rivalry between Dante and Vergil through sheer will and positivity.

[@justincummings8557]

Honestly, I give him more credit for being the only normal person in the weird world of DMC. Think about this. He’s understandably freaked out when he learns that not only does he have a living father, but that his father and his uncle are constantly fighting. He has a legitimate inferiority complex, (likely a shared trait from his dad), that’s been kind of memed to death. He hates Nico’s smoking. And strangest of all, he actually has a stable love life. He might not look it or act like it at times, specifically when he enters Devil Trigger, but he’s literally the most normal and human out any of the main protagonists in Devil May Cry. So yeah. I think he deserved a spot on the list.

[@blazzbdank26]

Man this is too nostalgic for me, even though I started watching a while after GS started.

[@palmtree2711]

God, what a blast from the past. Wasn't my first list I saw of yours, but it was one of them, and even if it's uh... not aged the best I still have fond memories of it. This channel's been one my favorites for years, and were it not for those early countdowns I don't know if I would have found it. And damn, what a revival, easily one of my favorite vids in a while. And you know what... when it comes to that number 1, I'm still happy to see him come back. I can't put my finger on exactly why; maybe it's just because of what he represents, on top of how close his series is to my heart, but Link is my favorite fictional character of all time, without a doubt. I can't think of a single character, in any medium, not just video games, who's more deserving of the title of a true hero.

[@ivanbluecool]

Tales of the abyss Luke is probably my number 1 hero as he shows no matter how hard you are shot down. You keep trying to get back up and grow to learn even when everyone is against you and you lose others trust. A lot of the tales series protagonist are like this in some way but Luke did it best as we don't know the world same as him. He's basically an insert who has his own story as we follow. Fire emblem emmeryn is pretty cool with how much she tried to do to keep the peace and her public image vs her private one. Inspiration to the enemies too. Pokemon N if he was not part of Peta at first would honestly be a good message to understand your Pokemon and animals more and respect them even if we eat them. God of war kratos pre anything new in seeing his seperation of God and man giving them back the hope in 3 where humanity has to take over next could have been cool to see happen more much like king gilgamesh did. Blanking on more right now

[@Lin2Waterfall]

For me, I grew to like Luke as the character himself grew. He went from a shitty guy with a decent heart hidden underneath to a true empathetic person.

[@ivanbluecool]

@@Lin2Waterfall it's more so he didn't understand how the world worked first and had a hollow title as ambassador at first. I mean we are as blind as he is to the entire world and how it works until he cuts his hair and starts to learn. I mean ion saw the goodness in his heart even before Luke could. Plus the twist he was the clone TO START HIS STORY is amazing even now. Most other stories would save that for the ending but this is where Luke begins his journey to grow up in the world.

[@numebernode]

I think it is pretty apt to call Link the true spirit of heroism, all things considered. Now that makes me think of Kirby's Sword hat being Link's hat. It fits not just as a tribute to the character, but also for Kirby's own heroism.

[@TheDreadyGamer]

One I gotta shout out for this list is Joker from Persona 5. The dude puts himself through the worst of it for the sake of no one’s benefit except his own. Being arrested multiple times, putting his own life, both physically & in society on the line for the sake of helping innocent people. And he does it all while explicitly never taking any credit for it. He sacrificed EVERYTHING, for the sake of the people & the future. Even as a silent protag, the dude’s actions are freaking insane in terms of how heroic he ended up becoming among protags.

Zero was created by Wily to be the ultimate killing machine but throughout the X & Zero series he goes in the opposite direction & becomes what Mega Man & Mega Man X were design for.

It's an oft-repeated theme with creators that they hate the first videos they've made. And honestly, I think that's a short-sighted approach. Sure, your first creation is not going to be your best. But that's the point. You had the courage to step out anyway and show what you created to the world, even if it was flawed. And you can also do what Oscar has clearly done, and go back to his previous videos, and learn from them, improving on what started him out. Short version, I'm glad you decided to do this.

[@RomanVulcan83]

I love that you included Phoenix Wright on this list. And that is a great moment when he sacrifices having a perfect record to do the right thing. I also like how baffled Franziska is with him afterwards. And also, he inspired Edgeworth in turn to start seeking the truth rather than victory, as seen in case 1-3 and later the Investigations spinoffs. Also, a quick correction: Zak Gramarye, aka Shadi Enigmar and later Shadi Smith, was never jailed; he disappeared from the courthouse, thanks in part to Trucy.

How about Makoto Naegi? During the cousin of Danganronpa, Despitr Makoto not having a talent, he has always put others before him and never thought for himself. He did his best to save them and never gave up on his friends and the world, doing his best to bring hope to everyone. He even tried to talk Junko out of execution despite her being the mastermind of the killing game.

Happy anniversary.

I wish was there during the premiere. This felt very heart warming I must saying but for now "I should go".

[@Kpimpmaster]

I still think Commander Shepherd is the better hero because of their story ends with Shepherd willingly sacrificing themselves to stop the Reapers (regardless of what way they do it) a hero to the very end

hornbill mention to Lucas from Mother 3 as number 12.

Hey where can I go to make countdown suggestions? I had a really good one and it’s bouncin’ around the ol’ noggin.

[@OmnicidalClown1992]

I remember first seeing your first video of the Top 10 Video Game Heroes nearly a decade ago. And man, do I feel old saying that. I still remember the time when I requested a countdown of the worst to best bosses in the Banjo-Kazooie franchises, and you replying back by saying that you were gonna put it on your list of Countdown ideas. That countdown still hasn't happened yet, but it's impressive that over a decade has happened, and I still remember that little detail about that video. Do you remember that comment many years ago Green Scorpion, or because you have so many comments in your videos that you don't remember? Either way, I hope that another decade (or more) of content will be added to you channel...... and on a sidenote, I hope that I could one day see that idea of the Worst to Best Bosses in the Banjo-Kazooie Series. I'm not demanding, but I still hope that it can happen one day.
