You know it all depends on the situation it probably be a close quarter combat so link would definitely be the winner.
I doubt it. A grown man with a powersuit and a crowbar vs. an effeminate boy with a tunic and a sword; I think Link would win!
/sarcasm

And don't forget the physics gun!

I think you meant genre, but yes, I see your point.

Let the record state that puppies > apples.
Well you've got to remember link is also more fit naturally than Gordon is, and the suit doesn't seem to have that much of an effect on his physical strength and god I'm over thinking this to much

Does this count as flamebait against Nintendo? Seriously.

Did anyone notice that all of the finalists are silent? They've never spoken a word aloud in their games yet, ever (this is about to change for Samus though). Are silent people supposed to be more badass? I pick Samus by the way.
"IT'SA MEA MARIO!"

(also link spoke in wind waker)
umm when did this happen

I'm voting for link because freeman beat snake and I'm sorry I love Half-Life,but there is no way Gordon can beat snake.

I'll say Gordon Freeman, but I'm still crushed over the defeat of Bub and Bob.
As am I my friend...as am I....
OT: I'd say link personally. Half-life was great and all and I love VALVe, but I've had far more fond memories playing Zelda games than any other game anywhere.

1. Gordon Freeman is my favorite hero after Batman ... if you didn't play Half Life at his time you probably won't get were I'm coming from :p
2. Who is Link ?
3. Oke, line 2. was a joke.. I know who Link is. I played one zelda and I think I got his number. Not impressed. Back to number 3.... Samus Aran ... had to google that ... Metroid ... heard about her ... well for me the first female hero was Xena so lets move on.
4. Well Mario was one of my childhood hero and I think thats where he should remain. Mario doesn't need new games or remakes... If I want to think of Mario I want to think of the original not speaking version not the "IT'S-A-ME ! MARIO" sold out version.

P.S. I'm i the only one who noticed that number 2,3,4 are nintendo titles.. BillNyeTheColonelGuy ... mate ... try some other platforms you might find some other more AWESOME heroes to add to youre top.

This is stupid to me. It should be a contest against the 3 giants of gaming:

Gordan Freeman (from the Half Life series, the highest rated vidio game series of all time)
Master Cheif (from the Halo series, the highest selling vidio game series of all time)
Mario (from the Mario series and Mario series spin-offs, the most commonly recognized vidio game series of all time)


NO I DID NOT MAKE THESE THINGS UP, THESE ARE ACTUAL STATISTICS!

Why is Samus losing? She's destroyed entire solar systems' worth of Space Pirates and saved the entire galaxy from destruction several times and she's being beaten by Mario, who rescues some bint. Pff.
