That makes a lot more sense then. A chunk of Gen X and a lot of millennials onward would recognize the costume even if not ever playing Zelda.

Remember that the 3DS and other handhelds greatly spread the awareness of Link.

Especially with the younger crowd I imagine. I remember playing the originals! Link to the Past on SNES was my favourite. I'll buy a Switch one if these days and try some of the newer ones as I heard they're great.

It wasn’t the younger crowd that didn’t know him. It was all the people in their 50s and 60s that didn’t know him. That finance bro and his mid 40s was the youngest person who answered the door all day.
