My point is that things that no longer are actively popular will get forgotten and things that may never have been as popular as them will actually be "better known."  Do you get what I'm trying to say?  

There's also another thing you failed to take into account.  It's the fact that new people are being born all the time.  Things like Zelda existed a long time ago, too.  However, with games like Sonic not as many people who are being born now will know the game.  So you combine the people in the past that knew Zelda with the people now that still know Zelda, it could very likely be more known in an active kind of way.

Disagree with Sonic, every kid nowadays still knows it. It's definitely remained relevant far better than the likes of Mortal Kombat or even Donkey Kong.

Sorry to jump into conversation (since I have no idea what you're talking about), but I occasionally do a survey through my kids - both when they were in kindergarten, and later in school - you'd be surprised how few kids know about Mario, let alone Zelda - of course, everyone knew what Angry Birds are and most what Minecraft is.
