By Marshall Garvey Welcome to the next installment of LTG’s Super Smash Bros. picks! After Terry’s mind-blowingly in-depth piece to get things rolling, my piece will be, to say the least, far less precise.

Marshall Garvey’s Top 20 Video Game Characters (#11-20)

By Marshall Garvey 20.  Link – The Legend of Zelda series While I tend to gravitate towards supporting characters in games (as well as in movies and television), any list not featuring Link as an all-time great and/or favorite is probably hard to take seriously.
