Mario.
I can name multiple Zelda games that I never want to play again. I can only name one Mario game that I'm not excited to play again.
There are specific Zelda games that are really good (I've played Link's Awakening start to finish more than any Mario game), but when you talk about the series as a whole, there are a lot of weak links.
