Zelda isn't big in Japan. Or is it?

Yeah, I'd say of all the Ninten franchises, Zelda is talked about less in Japan, but I have met some Zelda fans. However, Mario is the big title, and then pokemon somewhat.

Mario bigger than Pokemon in Japan? You sure?

Almost everyone knows Mario in Japan, and there is a lot of merch of the franchise, like cups, plates, and cards. Pokemon is talked less about from kids, cept some more kids into anime that like Pokemon. Yokai Watch is more talked about at the moment.

Granted I haven't been to the pokemon center in a while. That place can get filled with the fan base with 3DSs opened : ) Of course, this is just from personally experience.
