What game has the least likeable characters?

I would say Phantom Hourglass. Aside from the carried over characters from TWW (Slyvester, Beedle, Tetra's Pirates, Tetra and Link, there might be one or two more that I forgot) I didn't care for any of them.

Ciela was more annoying then Navi, I didn't like her at all.

Leaf and Nevi were boring and annoying.

Oshus was this irritating old man that kept limiting what I could do and kept acting all condescending.

Linebeck was a irritating coward, who kept insulting me and acting like I was some kind of fetch monkey.

Bellum wasn't even a good villain! I didn't even hate him, he was sort of just...there.

All of the side characters were annoying too.

I just wanted to save Tetra, I didn't care if all of the other characters died.

Somehow though, even the TWW characters that were carried over still were lousy. Tetra was too mean and Link lost his personality.

But yeah, I didn't care for any of the PH characters besides the ones carried over from TWW. (and I only liked them because they were great in TWW)

But what do you think?

Probably Alttp, due to the fact that there wern't that many characters in the game to begin with.

TP. Zant was some kind of crazy....thing....Midna was annoying, Ganondorf acted as if he were some kind of super powerful being when he was just weak. The postman was just weird. I could go on and on...

Well, there are plenty of dislikeable characters from the series: Linebeck, Ralph (or Rolph- the OoA guy, can't remember his name), and quite a few others. However, I'd have to say Wind Waker takes the cake on this one due to Zill (the kid with the gigantic booger on Outset Island) and the Killer Bees gang on Windfall.

I would say LoZ is the obvious choice since.

I would have limited this poll to.. OoT, MM, TWW, TP and PH since those are really the only games where the surrounding characters can be considered deep. Out of those choices, I'd probably go with OoT, even though I love a lot of characters from that game.

No Ciela was far less annoying than Navi, but she was far more useless, she didn't even tell you how to beat monsters.
Leaf and Nevi were boring and annoying.
Yeah I wouldn't call them charecters, as I would call them collectibles.
Oshus was this irritating old man that kept limiting what I could do and kept acting all condescending.
Actually Oshus was kind of entertaining I love how he grabbed the hourglass from Link when he was having one of he Da-Dum-Dum-da moments.
Linebeck was a irritating coward, who kept insulting me and acting like I was some kind of fetch monkey.
His cowardice and laziness are what make him a good realistic charecter.
Bellum wasn't even a good villain! I didn't even hate him, he was sort of just...there.
Agreed, he had less motivation than Majora.
All of the side characters were annoying too.
I agree. Except for Jolene a Cosplaying pirate Gerudo was an interesting idea.
I just wanted to save Tetra, I didn't care if all of the other characters died.

Somehow though, even the TWW characters that were carried over still were lousy. Tetra was too mean and Link lost his personality.
Yeah Tetra seemed to ignnore the charecter development she got in Wind Waker, and they didn't use Cel shading to effectively show Link's emotions.
But yeah, I didn't care for any of the PH characters besides the ones carried over from TWW. (and I only liked them because they were great in TWW)

But what do you think?
Comments in purple. I'm going with LoZ becuase there were very little NPCs at all I heard.

It had more than AOL and LOZ though.

I've got to say Phantom Hourglass. I agree completely with NintendoTogepi - the characters in that game were just so blah

It's gotta be TP for me. Why? Because:
I.
HATE.
MIDNA!
She's evil, ugly, and a real jerk (and a bunch of other bad words), not to mention that she gets to ride Link like a horse! Midna's not worthy, and I just want to...grah! *strangles Midna* Yeah, I'm an anti-Midna person, don't kill me XD

Anyways, that one creepy-looking guy at that chicken place in Lake Hylia, the postman is a wackjob, and Telma (and many other female characters in the game) need to put something more over their chests...it's disgusting.
Oh yeah, and some of the people look like Michael Jackson monkeys.

I didn't like LOZ charecters because there were barely any, and they had 0 personailty. At least PH had Linebeck, he was a funny charecter.

I haven't played LOZ, and I only play AOL for a little bit before giving up in frustration.

HEY LISTEN.
But seriously I wouldn't say that OoT had the Worst charecters, they all were either great (Sheik, Saria, Nabooru, Darunia) or bad (Ruto, Navi, KG).

Oh, not Navi, I was talking about the Great Fairy and her ugly looks and obnoxious laugh.

Oh yes, they were terrible but that still doesn't make OoT the game with the worst characters.
