Their definition of iconic is so off. If I were to poll even a groups like totally random gamers that play > 40 hours a week, the number that don't recognize Donkey Kong is near 0. I wouldn't be shocked if the annoying owl from Zelda games polled higher than Kiryu Kazuma.
I would say Mario, Pikachu, and Link easily beat her.
And Master Chief, Gordon Freeman, Sonic, Marcus Fenix, Pac Man...
Donkey Kong, Minecraft Steve.
