The lack of Kefka alone invalidates this list... I hate that freakin' clown but even I acknowledge he's one of the rare few villains who not only succeeded in his batshit crazy plans, he succeeded with style.
I remember in IX that Kuja blew up a moon/planet and in V Exdeath not only erased a planet was was going to bring down the entire universe for a last laugh. They has to seriously deus ex machina that one.Imperioratorex Caprae said:The lack of Kefka alone invalidates this list...

Demise only threatened the surface world twice; once in the 'ancient battle' against Hylia, and once again in the Sky Era. Ganon, on the other hand, is nigh-immortal, and has threatened Hyrule dozens upon dozens of times, and will doubtless live on (or resurrect) to do the same again. He's done more damage over the centuries and lives on to do more.Hawki said:2) No, not really. Ganon's intimidating, but I'm sure there's stronger villains out there. Heck, Majora or Demise are arguably stronger than Ganon.
Yeah, he's done that, and been defeated each time.Silvanus said:Demise only threatened the surface world twice; once in the 'ancient battle' against Hylia, and once again in the Sky Era.

They've all been defeated each time. Even Kefka, who people are mentioning above as a relative villainous success story.Hawki said:Yeah, he's done that, and been defeated each time.
That's not to undersell Ganon, but I would rank Majora above him, in that in addition to Link we needed four giants to thwart its ability to MOVE THE FREAKIN' MOON. Ganondorf's actions generally threaten Hyrule, while Majora could have caused a global apocalypse.
Nope. I would have went with Kuja. Dude literally blows up a planet and tears the fabric of reality to enter not one but TWO different dimensions. And he is the only villain that actually does not get beat by the Heroes. He just gets bored and decides to blow everything up.Hawki said:5) Sin (Final Fantasy)
Kind-of this. Jeff, I don't think you really wanted to use the term "strongest". Especially not "of all time". The "dragon"(wyvern) from Skyrim is something I kill for breakfast in Monster Hunter and have killed probably stronger about fourteen times over today alone just for a damn plate.MiskWisk said:*Raises eyebrow*
Strongest video game villains of all time? Really?
Do you need someone to send you a dictionary? Because what you seem to have selected does not match with the English definition of those words.
