Surprised I haven't asked this question yet, that's quite interesting.

Well this is even a hard question for me since several  video games I've played have had awesome protagonists  so what are yours and or just your favorite protagonists. 

My favorite protagonists would have to be : Pit from Kid Icarus uprising, Phoenix wright from Ace Attorney, Jude from Tales of Xillia, Luke from Tales of the Abyss, Yu Narukami from Persona 4, Link from the legend of zelda , Neku sakuraba can't believe I forgot him 

( I know I have to many even some are silent protagonists but I don't care.)
