Mario, and it's not even close!!

Zelda only broke the 20-million mark with *BotW*; before that, most games didn't even reach 10 million!

Mario should be compared to Pokémon; Zelda doesn't even come close in terms of popularity, fame, or status as a pop-culture icon.

lol comparing Mario with Pokemon...is there a skull and bones emoji?? cuz that x1000 haha

Please don't compare the Nintendo staple that is probably the single most embarrassing franchise in the gaming industry to Mario which is probably the most consistently great franchise in gaming.
