Zelda Speedrunning makes no sense right now.
The games are "dead" on SRC with like maybe 50-70 runners at most at any given time for the most popular game.
But any youtube video uploaded about zelda speedrunning seems to get tens to hundreds of thousands of views. Even more than mario gets.

It's not because it's hard to start speedrunning. It's actually probably one of the easiest for beginners.
At least in all my time having been a spectator as well as runner, it seems like more than ever more people are watching as opposed to trying out runs for themselves.
The game isn't fun anymore, and the amount of runners reflect that. It's probably the same for the other games. But people still watch because they know the name.
