In General Gaming

EDIT: actually im changing the question...

EDIT: Actually, this is gaming related... seem that maybe it shouldn't be in Off-Topic?

yeah i guess.

EDIT: Karnov

haha, i was going to put that, but then there wouldn't be a competetion if you guys were voting.

Mario has the better games, but Link has better everything else. clothes, style, look, weapons, etc.

Hmmm.

Link does have a cool sword and a flute (so not only is he physically fit for fencing but he's a musician as well) but Mario can turn into an airplane, racoon (and other cool stuff) and has a "porn" mustache.

I'll have to put more thought before I cast my vote, much like I did for the presidential election.

i myself am debating... haha

I think i would have to go with mario

I voted for Mario. I mean, he can jump from wall to wall and stomp on enemies.
But Link is very close my 2nd favourite in this poll.

Link. Nothing beats the godlike POWer of Hook shots, trans-world travel and boomerangs.

FEAR ME, FOR I AM ELF!

I voted for Mario. I mean, he can jump from wall to wall and stomp on enemies.
But Link is very close my 2nd favourite in this poll.

Second is also last...

manuel hates Link!

2nd winner = 1st loser and in this poll 2nd means last, that's right.

I love Link, even more than Mario, but still I think Mario is better, because of the reasons Imentioned above.

Who could hate that little Elf with his little green hat.

We should extend that poll and add Karnov and Tingle.

Well, we'd know who'd lose in that case........
I'm joking.

Hands down--Link. He can't fall into pits (at least in the 1st game), he tends to have a longer life span in general, and...well, I'm an RPG fan in general so I guess I'm a bit biased on this.

mario definately had a longer life span if you use him right!

I died more often in Mario games than I did in Zelda...

yeah and Marios enemies are Easiar, what that telling you?

What should this tell me?
Mario games have a lot more cliffs to fall of and stuff.

i've died a lot more times in mario than Zelda, but i have played mario a lot more. They both tend to live quite a while.

I think and am quite sure everybody dies more in Mario games (except perhaps the Mario RPGs) than in Zelda games.
In Mario 64 e.g. you fall off the blocks in the special stages (when your backpack is stolen) very often.

yeah i would say that, but doesnt that make it more challanging?

i had a tough time decideing between who was better myself. i still dont know if i made the right choice....

yeah, there's health more health in Zelda than in Mario, and you can store faries to help you live longer
