6- Marcus Fenix from Gears of War
Hat: Do-rag
Who wears do-rags? Only the coolest of the cool. Do guys named Ed Thompson wear Do-rags? No way, because that moniker is way too lame. Only guys with bitchin' names like Marcus Fenix, or Max Turbo, or Axel Lightning can wear those gnarly lids.
5- M. Bison from Street Fighter
Hat: Visor Cap
Visor Caps are generally worn by military heads after years of toil in some armed forces division, and in order for someone to obtain one, he'd have to be a pretty shrewd tactician. Shrewd like M Bison, who commands a massive military power, but prefers to take over the world via one-on-one street fights.
4- Raiden from Mortal Kombat
Hat: Conical Straw Hat
As a God, it takes pretty big deity-balls to wear the conical straw hat (traditionally worn by peasants when working in rice fields). Of course, it takes even bigger deity=balls to repeatedly get your ass whooped by mortals, especially by that one guy who fights with his hat.
3- Mega Man from Mega Man
Hat: Future Helmet
Many adjectives are used to describe the Blue Bomber: dangerous, adorable, mega. But what truly makes this gaming legend effective, aren't those turquoise tights, or those dark blue underpants he wears over them. No, what makes this Man mega is that sweet futuristic bonnet.
2- Link from The Legend of Zelda
Hat: Phrygian Cap
If Link is worried about looking androgynous, there are a couple of things he can do to change his image. One, stop wearing a dress. And two, take off that customary Phrygian Cap, change your name from Link to Ace Cannon, and start wearing a Do-rag and battle armor.
1- Mario from Super Mario
Hat: Flat Cap
It's obvious every Italian visits the same tailor in the Mushroom kingdom. They all done the same overalls and stylish flat cap, whether they be on the side of good, evil, or baby. However, amongst that collection of caps, one stands heads and shoulders above the rest. Mario's caps have come in a variety of flavors, including Wing Cap, Vanish Cap, and Steel Cap. When you can imitate half of the powers of the Fantastic Four via your headwear, you've got to pay homage to your hat.

Yeah, I was wondering if the Black mage hat was going to get in there...you usually can't have a list without something Final Fantasy related in there.

Most useless article I've ever seen... but I looked at all pages anyway hahahaha. Kung Lao's hat is SO the best... It's the only one you can acutally use... as a weapon too!
