watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
pirates in video games but don’t give
you a heart to a stone you’re too strong
for that princess for this list we’re
taking a look at the videogame
characters most associated with the
title of pirate and ranking them based
on a mix of popularity impact and
personal preference they don’t have to
be from a pirate themed video game but
they do have to originate from video
games now are you ready why fly a black
flag on a black beard will do number 10
Tron boat Mega Man Legends series did
you get everything alright then let’s go
home heresy knows no age or gender as
this feisty little firecracker proved
when she made her debut appearance in
the alternative mega man series born
into a family of air pirates Tron was
something of hilarious
and tagging is to do to her easily
embarrassed nature and inability to
confess her crush on the mullet version
of the Blue Bomber her popularity soared
with fans to the point when she even got
her own game make sure you don’t
underestimate her though she’s packing a
hell of a lot of surf bots it’s not over
yet don’t think you’ve won next time I
won’t be so easy on you I’ll make sure
you pay for this number 9 Zack and wiki
Zack and wiki quest for Barbarossa’s
treasure
not all pirating has to be
doom-and-gloom
enters a quickie a young boy dreaming of
treasure and his adorable golden monkey
harkening back to the days of silence
protagonists thrown into grand
adventures the pair’s determination
fearlessness and knack for puzzle
solving makes them the kind of pirates
we would want to root for just be sure
to take a step back when waking turns
into a bell a break captain K rool
Donkey Kong Country 2 Diddy’s conquest
if it once you don’t succeed dress up
like a pirate and try to blow the crap
out of some more monkeys the alter ego
of the villainous King K rule this proc
Adele served as the main antagonist
against DK sidekick Diddy Kong trading
in his crown for a black flag and a
blunderbuss he may not have been the
most threatening of pirates but he still
could take a piece out of you if you
weren’t on your toes number 7 buys Skies
of Arcadia Pirates of old defend our
cause if there was ever a pure-hearted
swashbuckler it would have to be this
blue Roger unlike a lot of Square Enix’s
protagonists this young captain is
outspokenly compassionate and optimistic
in all of his endeavors
even when tasked with taking on a whole
Armada
driven to succeed and always driving to
stand as a role model for his crew this
is a pirate you probably wouldn’t mind
sailing with number six tetra The Legend
of Zelda the Wind Waker we all know the
character of Princess Zelda an immortal
staple of gaming and one who will be
remembered for generations so I guess
the obvious next step in her evolution
was to turn her into a pirate and you
know what it worked one of the greatest
aspects of the Wind Waker was the
reimagining of her character in the form
of tetra hard-as-nails captain who is
just as likely to cut off your giblets
as help you out she’s no damsel and she
can handle any kind of distress in fact
she may want to give up that princess
role altogether number 5 fall here
Final Fantasy 12 we’re on the Empire’s
doorstep now so we shouldn’t have to
worry quite so much but that’s no excuse
to get sloppy the question that all
Final Fantasy fans ask themselves every
time they play this 12th installment of
the series is why why was fall fear not
the main character I said you’re the one
that stinks ham shanks hear me now the
sky pirate is the definition of smooth
he’s got the voice he’s got the look he
even has a gorgeous half bunny lady on
his own along with his impressive
marksmanship skills this cool customer
could charm the pants off of any enemy
just as easily as he could shoot him
down where are we
prison where else more a dungeon but
it’s really all the same number four
boss Montenegro far cry 3 did I ever
tell you
the definition of insanity take away the
Black Flag the eyepatch and the love of
treasure you may not have much of a
traditional pirate but when you’ve used
a real-life fear of modern piracy with
the psychotic persona of this guy then
you have a recipe for a memorable and
terrifying villain character look at me
go Feeny you know I look me in the eye
you’re my bitch totally without remorse
utterly insane and with a tendency to
leave anyone he crosses riddled with
bullets your only chance of surviving an
encounter with boss is either to run
like hell or just get as mad as him if
this job doesn’t eat you up alive
good job okay chicken number three
Edward Kenway Assassin’s Creed 4 Black
Flag for years I’ve been rushing around
taking whatever I fancied not giving a
tinker’s curse for those I heard what
could be more macho than the Italian
stallion of assassins Ezio Auditore da
Firenze well how about an assassin who
is also a swashbuckling ship sailing
badass with a penchant for trash-talking
and taking out Templars on the coast of
the Caribbean you hungry grandfather of
Connor Kenway and buddy buds with
Blackbeard Edward Kenway stands out
amidst the franchise as the guy you’d
want to go drinking with before you went
out and launched a hidden blade into
some guy’s throat go to Moscow
it’s our present course you West captain
if it’s still Kingston we’re sailing for
it is indeed husband number two
Cervantes de Lyon Soul Calibur series
you stay shall we never
take the badass Piracy of edward kenway
turn him pure evil and just for the
helmet make him under and then you have
sir ventus if you truly wish to make
your end in battle I will perform the
last rites
while nightmare is the poster boy and
primary antagonist of the soul series
this merciless pirate is not far from
claiming that title when he was human he
purged lives everywhere he sailed and
then he took it to a whole new level
when he got his hands on a smaller but
still lethal version of the soul edge
needless to say he’s worthy of the title
terror on the high seas yes this isn’t
the power before our number one pick
makes us walk the plank here are a few
honorable mentions as unpredictable as
he is brutal
gangplank reigns is built waters
uncrowned King through a mix of fear
violence and cunning
number one guy brush tree boy monkey
island series Captain’s Log
Guybrush Threepwood lost at sea for days
now he may not be as imposing as other
traditional pirates but over the course
of the Monkey Island games the character
of Guybrush Threepwood goes through what
can only be described as a hilarious
hero’s journey when I find big whoop
I’ll become a legend among pirates for
generations to come
starting off as a meek young man
desperately trying to become a pirate
his various battles and escapades
eventually turned him into a dashing
rogue of the high seas who also marries
the girl of his dreams it’s a classic
tale with a hilarious twist that we
never get tired of hearing we also have
to give a shout-out to his archenemy
Captain lechuck it takes some serious
anchors to brush off death numerous
times and come back as a ghost zombie
and demon that serious commitment guys
