After much speculation, Link has finally picked a running mate -- Fox McCloud will stand by his side representing Nintendo in the 2012 Video Game Presidential Election!
While Link was widely expected to pick Mario -- who he beat to accept the Nintendo nomination -- he instead chose Fox on the grounds that the space traveler was exactly the kind of maverick the campaign needed. While Link didn’t comment on the matter himself, his campaign advisor, Peppy Hare, told IGN that he was confident Link made the right pick. “You're becoming more like your father,” Peppy told Fox, choosing to ignore the question about foreign policy that was asked. “Never give up. Trust your instincts. Press Z or R twice,” he said of Link’s campaign strategy.
“We’re going to take down Andross and Star Wolf,” McCloud said during his acceptance speech. “Also Ganon,” he added when given a dirty look by his running mate.
Link and Fox are the first candidates to announce their full ticket, with announcements expected later this week from PlayStation candidate Nathan Drake, Xbox 360 candidate Commander Shepard, PC candidate Gordon Freeman and the recently-announced multiplatform candidate Ezio.
For all of IGN’s coverage, including whether or not Nathan Drake and Kratos will be a pair, keep your eye on our 2012 Video Game Presidential Election site!
