He probably is , right? in the u.s. and worldwide. But iirc , Link always wins the favorite video game character contest on this site.

It's probably not even close. Mario is a worldwide icon. Link is a bitch ass elf.

Absolutely.

Mario, Donkey Kong, and Pikachu are probably the only Nintendo characters recognizable by the average person.

Some people commonly mistaken Link for Zelda
Nobody mistakenly calls Mario "Peach"

Link can't even get the franchise title named after him.

It's non debatable
Mario is unarguably a top 5 most recognizable character, period.
Link might crack the top 20, but he's nowhere near Mario's level.

Link is Scrooge McDuck-tier in terms of recognizability.

Also Link changes more than Mario. He's not even wearing green at this point, is he? He's been young, an adult, a cartoon, somewhat less cartoony, his hair has changed colors, his voice changes.
He also does weird stuff that would give the common person cause to avoid him like talk to boats and be a dog and not know how to speak and have three time clones of himself simultaneously present in the new Smash Bros game.
Also his name is whatever your game file is called so it's harder for outsiders to pick up what his actual name is.

Mario stays the same most of the time.
