Consistency with Princess Zelda, Roy, and King K. Rool.
m (just barely enough new QOL stuff to qualify this as a more than a non-notable port but whatever. Simon's playable in Harmony of Dissonance's boss rush) |

Simon Belmont is widely considered to be an icon of gaming, as he was one of the earliest mascots for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] and among the most recognizable video game characters from that era. He shares this status alongside characters like Nintendo's [[Link]] and [[Samus Aran]], and Capcom's [[Mega Man]]. His original barbarian-esque design and Vampire Killer are the most recognizable aspects out of all of his iterations, and the pioneering attributes of the Belmont Clan, such as the "Belmont strut", stilted jumping, delayed whip attacks, and immense knockback when taking damage all make his early home games among the most challenging in the console's library. His appearance has varied notably, often alternating between a rugged, blonde warrior clad in brown, barbarian-esque armor and a somewhat softer, redheaded design with darker clothing. | Simon Belmont is widely considered to be an icon of gaming, as he was one of the earliest mascots for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] and among the most recognizable video game characters from that era.
