big in what sense? sales? On 3DS, 2D & 3D Mario are each over 10 million. On Wii U, 2D & 3D Mario are each over 5 million.
as for Zelda, the series ranges but typically sells 3-5 million (Adventure of Link, Link to the Past, Link's Awakening, Majora's Mask, Oracle of Ages/Seasons, Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, Skyward Sword), only a few have sold over or under that amount so the series is generally stable.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
