Nintendo and Game Freak does consider Legends: Arceus and Legends: Z-A as mainline entries, not spin-offs.

Yeah, Steve is more of a blank slate, but he's definitely iconic. Fox McCloud is a honorable mention, for sure.

Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Raiden are definitely honorable mentions for this list.

Link is definitely an honorable mention, but all his varios versions across the timeline can be categorized as different characters.

While Persona and SMT are obviously different subseries, I tried to keep it to one game per franchise, but SMT V definitely deserves a spot on here as well.

I thought so myself, but Hades popped up on Steam's search feature when I was looking for 10/10 RPGs, plus it has some prominent RPG mechanics.

It's a fun arc, but most of it takes place in one generic location and the fights against the Amigo Pirates are more funny than they are intense or epic.

Ah yes, Komei from Adventure of Nebulandia.

He definitely is a strong contender for this list!

He's a movie-only character, while this list focused solely on characters from filler arcs and episodes.

Mustard is surprisingly challenging, and a worthy candidate for this list.

They aren't that bad if you're prepared, but they still are legitimately hard.

Yeah, I was surprised when I found out about that.

It's surely a solid game, but it has definitely been flying under the radar because of its dull art style and faceless characters.

Whitebeard almost made it into the list, but all the other characters in this list are slightly more important than him.

Couldn't agree more! 😥

Right now, the Five Elders' transformations have all the common attributes of an Awakened Zoan Devil Fruit, but it does seem like their powers were enhanced by Imu.

I liked the final arcs, but I agree that the first ones but a tad more interesting.

Skyrim definitely fits this topic but, as it was explained in the introduction, this list doesn't include any games from the seventh console generation onwards.
