Because they don't know what Zelda is? Surprise, there are people who don't pay attention to the gaming industry. Point is Pokemon, Mario, Call of Duty, GTA, have much more notoriety when it comes to pop culture. 

Oh yeah, and Zelda also has quite a lot of notoriety. It's actually very well-known by a lot of people, which is why I said you've weird friends and family. Of course it isn't as well-known as Pokémon, Mario, Call of Duty or GTA, because those are 4 of the largest and most well-known franchises in the world (not just gaming). It's ridiculous to use that as a comparison for what is or isn't niche - it's like saying average Marvel movies are niche because they're nothing compared to Star Wars.

Which goes along with my ORIGINAL point, that it's an abberation for a ZELDA title to sell 10 million when the aforementioned do so on a regular basis. So in comparison to the aforementioned, yes Zelda is very niche IMO. Picking apart my choice of verbiage is moot to the original point.
