You can't really compare the "Zelda Cycle" and the "Sonic Cycle." Even if we acknowledge both of them, the way they purport to work is completely different.

Yes I can. They're both cycles in which people judge the franchise. Its perfect valid and its completely based off real events that commonly keep occuring

I would argue that both cycles are not really based on 'real' events. They occur on internet forums. Internet forums do not represent the majority of the fanbase.
I know people personally that have either Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword as their favourite Zelda title (despite what Zelda title followed). 
There are still people that have A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time as their favourite titles and so forth. 
Different generations tend to have different Zelda games. This is not always the case, but a more accurate factor than the Zelda Cycle.

Internet forums do not represent everyone.
