Mario And Zelda Fans Are Once Again Debating Which Series Is Better
With the recent release of The Super Mario Bros. Movie and the fast-approaching launch of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the relevance of Nintendo's two biggest properties has never been higher. Both series have their own merits, Mario offering up bitesized levels full to the brim with color and creativity, while The Legend of Zelda gives Nintendo fans a huge, interesting world to explore and the tools to create their own adventures. Both are iconic for their own reasons, but that hasn't stopped fans from arguing over which is best.
In a thread on ResetEra titled "Let's Start a War: Mario Or Zelda?", fans have been invited to vote in a poll to see which of Nintendo's big guns comes out on top when pitted directly against each other. At the time of writing, the poll currently has almost 500 total votes, with the majority of those (62.9 percent) naming The Legend of Zelda as the superior franchise. Of course, expecting fans to simply vote and leave it at that was foolish, and many have taken to the comments to explain why Link or Mario is Nintendo's bestest boy.

Falconhoof17 thinks that Mario's multiple spinoffs puts the Italian clear of Link and crew, while CHC says Links defenders will be sorry when their toilet starts to overflow and "Zelda doesn't know what do". A pretty convincing range of arguments right there.
Don't worry though, The Legend of Zelda fans
