no marios allowed!

(updates weekdays! [sometimes])

nomarios is a Tumblog where artist Ashley Davis draws all the coolest videogame characters who don't get to be under the spotlight too often.

This means no one from Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Sonic, Portal, Kirby, Pokemon, Tetris, Mega Man, Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, most other major Nintendo series and most games made in the past five years.1 Basically, any character that doesn't show up on Tumblr's gaming radar very often is fair game. 2 No licensed characters either!

1 Exceptions may be made for the stars of less popular spinoffs

2 I have nothing against these guys! I love Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Link, Pokemon and Nintendo as a whole very dearly. But there are tons of other cool guys who deserve lots of attention too!

FAVORITE FORGOTTEN ZELDA CHARACTERS?

We all know that there are hundreds of cool videogame characters that rarely see the spotlight. But did you know that a lot of these guys have to actually live in the same world as the popular guys? It’s true!

And it’s so, so sad. Which is why I want to do something special to honor them: a huge group portrait. I plan to visit many universes, including Kirby and Mario. But the first universe I want to visit is Zelda.

So tell me, who are your favorite forgotten characters of Zelda? Is it Prince Richard? Ezlo? Purdy?
