Pokemon is far bigger than Zelda
These days I dont think its far bigger, at least within the realm of video games alone. Obviously Pokmon sells a TON of merchandise but how much should we consider that? In fact if were comparing video games alone a new Pokmon and a new Zelda launched six months from each other and the new Zelda wound up the same if not slightly bigger!
Of course my actual argument against Pikachu is that Pikachu is just one face of Pokmon, while Link is much more associated with the Zelda franchise as a symbol.
