I found out yesterday whilst playing the Orange box (HL2 Episode 1 more specifically) that Alyx isn't actually invincible but damn she takes a beating before she goes down.
Don't ever say Link, he's not a character at all. The developers even say he's the "silent protagonist", so if you say he's your favourite you lack imagination.

You can't lack imagination for liking a character that doesn't speak, if anything you must have some creativity to form some variety of love for the character.
Anyway, why can't he be a character just because he doesn't speak words? Thats almost like an insult to a mute.
Link is just a blank canvas for you to project your own image onto. Liking Link is tantamount to liking a white piece of paper, just because you could imagine something cool on it. Unless you like his green clothes or something, there's nothing really to like.

so what about gordan freeman then. he never speaks as well.
the only thing that would make link any less of a gaming character is that there isn't only one link.
link is a completely different person in various zelda games.
"Link and Princess Zelda are reincarnations or descendants of the same two people. However, Ganondorf, the main villain, is always the same person. Miyamoto has stated, "For every Zelda game we tell a new story, but we actually have an enormous document that explains how the game relates to the others, and bind them together."
that would make ganon more of a character than link or zelda for that matter.
simply saying "hes just a green dude" or hes "like a blank canvas" isn't a good reason to say he isnt a character. even tho it may be true.
