Most Nintendo characters are simply avatars, empty vessels upon which you project your own personality or any personality you like. Link, Samus etc. can be lawful good if you view them that way, since (aside from some few occasions such as all the extrapolation in Metroid Fusion) they rarely express their views or their personality.

So they're pretty much all Neutral good unless you make them Chaotic or Lawful?

I'll remember that when I'm forced to blow up a planet to stop Space Pirate plans..

Aside from the characters that express themselves a lot, anything that's happening in their heads is just happening in yours. I'd say they're all chaotic by default, as gamers tend to play chaotically (it's just a game after all).

 

Ok, it doesn't always work for Samus, and I haven't played all the Zelda games so it's possible Link shows he's unambiguously lawful/chaotic at some point, but in general they are presented as empty vessels. The times where they express a lawful/chaotic personality are few and far between.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
