GameFAQs Character Contest 5

It’s that time again! GameFAQs started a few days ago their fifth annual battle of videogame characters. Sixty-four characters will be thrown into the ring, but only one can be the best of them all. And as a community, we’ve always loved to see our Zelda characters come out on top. The competition will continue all the way through November 18, right up to the American launch of Wii.This year, as the past couple have been, is split up into two rounds. The first is a classic Battle of the Sexes which pits 32 lovely ladies against 32 gaming gents to see who will conquer the rest. Then, the winner and runner-up of that contest will be thrown into the second and final round: The Battle Royale. The winning male and female character will be thrown into the ring with the four previous winners of the character battles past—Link, Mario, Cloud, and Sephiroth—and each day the character with the least votes is ousted from the competition. It should be a wild ride.This year, we’ve got three Zelda characters in the mix with Zelda for the ladies and Ganondorf and Tingle for the gentlemen. You can vote for them on the following dates:
