What are your top 3 favourite video game characters of all time?
Hard one this, gonna think about my answer then post it, Landis (Randī) from Winds of Thunder will be one of them for sure.
Thread inspired by the below new Happy Console Gamer video.
He mentions he bought his first Tengai Makyō game back in the day at a con in England from the girl who wrote the Role Call fanzine. That's Rachel Ryan who posted here as pcenginesales (Link (https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?action=profile&u=2177)), and did the Ys IV translation for NightWolve.

Bonk
Wario
Ryu
Strider Hiryu, earthworm Jim and Kunio are up there
Myau

Kabuki Danjuro
Blue lander from most of Compile's games

Ramza Beoulve
ALL TIME:
Abobo
Birdo
The cat from City Connection
Are we talking PROTAGONISTS only?
Karnov (NES)
Magician Lord (NeonGeon)
Rygar (NES)
Are we talking TG-16 protagonists?
Adol (specifically, when he transforms into a monster...sorry, SPOILERS!)
Sphere of Kosmos (Timeball)
Rick (Splatterhouse)
Ghaleon
Goro Majima (can hardly wait to play as him)
Mail (Popful Mail)
This was pretty tricky, lots of other characters I like. This was in order, with Ghaleon being #1.

The thread idea was spur of the moment after watching the Happy Console Gamer video.
But I guess the original question is asking your top 3 of all time, any character not just protagonists, any genre, any platform.
After that anyone feel free to add their own specific lists, like top 3 TG-16 protagonists as Este has done.
Forgot to say probably best to add which game or series the character is from in brackets next to each name.
Still thinking on my picks, this is the hardest to pick "top" list I've done.
Bazzy is a contender

I would say
Dogi
Samus
The guy on sim farm who hands out cool tips.

Quote from: poponon on 08/16/2016, 12:38 PM1. Whirlo / サンドラ / Sandora / Xandra from Valkyrie series
Awsome choice! I was considering him as one of my choices.
For heroes I'd pick Edmund Honda, Adol Christin, and Cecil Harvey.
For villains? Geese Howard, Kefka, and Dr. Wily.
I guess honorable mention goes to Delita as I wouldn't consider him exactly a hero Or a villain but I do really like the character.
Very close on my list would be Arthur from Daimakaimura.
With no particular order:
Garrett ("Thief" series)
Ax Battler ("Golden Axe" series etc.)
Guybrush Threepwood ("Monkey Island" series)
Lykos from Xanadu 1&2
Amon from Albert Odyssey Gaiden
The Street Samurai from Shadowrun
Also countless others that I cant think of
Ryu
Squid Sisters (counting as 1)
Link
Tails
Megaman
Richter
Many others
