I have an apposing question. Who has actually reached legend status? Characters that even non-gamers can identify and relate to. So far I know Mario and Sonic have reached legendary status, but what other gaming icon has done so?

I believe the legends at this moment (besides Mario and Sonic) are;

Pac Man


Link


Kirby


Ryu + Ken


Scorpion + Sub Zero


Megaman

There are most likely a lot more, seeing as gaming has existed for so long and it's no surprise that older franchises would be more established than things like HALO, and as the latter may be popular this day, a legend is a character that defines a genre and can be identified even by those who do not dabble in such affairs. An analogy would be Kobe Bryant::Michael Jordan. While one may be exceedingly popular, they still cannot be considered legends until their name becomes more than that.

Gotta give toon link credit, he turned Ganon into stone. And he has a talking boat.

Yeah!! Who else can turn people into stone by thrusting their sword into the forehead?

Seeing as Ocarina of Time has just been released.

YES as well!!

She is awesome.

I agree with you too!

Does this count?

Yes it does!! He's the other Hero of Time (as well as our hero)!!

Personally, I believe this guy should be a legend:


I mean, come on!! He deserves it! He stopped the destruction of innocent reploids, stopped an imminent threat of people using the Dark Elf to rule the world TWICE, prevented Ragnarok from firing its laser, and destroyed his OWN ORIGINAL BODY THAT WAS CONTROLLED BY OMEGA!! He is the best Megaman Character ever and if only three Capcom characters could be considered legendary, it would be Zero, Amaterasu/Shiranui, and Phoenix Wright!!

That looks like a very promising character, and look forward to playing his game. I think zero should get legendary status next to mega man

I showed mu mum (non gamer) these pictures and she recognised Pac-man and Kirby, she also got Street Fighter but she didn't know their names just called them Street Fighters,

She is awesome.

Changed my mind from awesome Link to sexy Samus.
