A lot of people would actually be like that cause I doubt that many people above the age of 50 know what Zelda is but loads will know about Mario for example. Zelda is not as popular and well known as you're suggesting it is, the gap between it and Mario is huge so a Zelda film would not get the audience numbers to reach a billion let alone equal the Mario film. I think it'd likely become the 2nd highest grossing video game ever made but a billion is a massive leap from there.

So Nintendo should do things to raise popularity of The Legend of Zelda before doing the movie?

Perhaps though BOTW and now its sequel is already doing plenty of that. A Zelda film would be a worthwhile endeavor since as long as it doesn't suck it should do at least as much as Sonic 2 and the Uncharted films did with potential to go beyond 500m if it's high quality. Doing a similar amount as the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films did though would be an extremely tall order.
