Zelda Voted ‘Favourite’ Kingdom Character Tears In Famitsu Survey

Famitsu will occasionally survey readers about a game with many questions.

The current asked readers which character they liked best in Nintendo’s 2023 game of the year contender The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Princess Zelda won. Link was second, Ganondorf eighth.

We only sampled 1290 of the game’s enormous user population, and not everyone answered every question. The whole list (from Nintendo Everything):
