Hard to pick because so many iconic characters over the years, i'll try and i'll only picked one per franchise, also not including fighting games cause they're special genre (if i pick FGs it would change tho also)

Solid Snake MGS saga (It's freagging Solid Snake, you can't test, main character of the best game ever made)
Kratos GOW Saga (Greek Kratos was iconic, and Nordic Kratos was different and also iconic, when you combine the 2 you get a legenday AF main character)
OG Lara Croft from Core Design TR (Legendary and best main female in any adventure game, even after the reboot games people still talk about her all time)
Jill Valentine from RE3 (It's so hard between her and Leon, It's honestly tie with Leon tbh tho)
John Marston RDR (Hard to pick between Arthur but i'm gonna go with this guy cause i'm never tired of hearing him talk lol)

Special mentions: Noctis, Cloud, Bayonetta, Dante, Axel Stone, Blaze Fielding, Amaterasu, Ezio, Link, Samus, Nathan Drake, and more

I really adore the characters with real personal growth and progression over time, plus let's exclude adaptations (like Geralt), so...

Ezio Auditore da Firenze (Entire life in 3 games, wow, flawless 1st)
Kratos
Solid Snake
Rebooted B.J. Blazkowicz
Joel Miller

I would've added Master Chief, but Halo5/Infinite destroyed everything good about his personal ark imo.

Link (mostly WW version, so cute and expressive)
Terra (FFVI, miles better than anything the series have brought us afterwards)
Yuri Lowell (not my favourite Tales game, but my favourite protagonist from the series)
Farah Oersted (we all know she's the real protagonist from Tales of Eternia)
Dunban (could've been the hero in his own game, what a badass)
Dunban is easily the coolest character in the game.
 
1. Sonic from Sonic 3 and Knuckles
