old school in what way? because link is is a 37 year old character

Ryu and Raiden are huge oversights, especially against Sackboy and Shadowheart, lol. What about the Angry Birds?

Mario, Pacman, Sonic, and Pikachu are top 4. Lara is in the top 10, along with Duke Nukem, another oversight.

Parents of genZ or Alpha kids will know who Steve is.
