Fable hasn't lived as longs as a series, hasn't sold as much, doesn't get as good reviews, doesn't influence other games nearly as much as Zelda does, and doesn't generate nearly as much fan art and community buzz as Zelda.
There's no real discussion here, but of course people are allowed to prefer Fable over Zelda. That's a matter of personal taste.
