Pornhub has revealed its annual Year In Review for 2023, with both Super Mario and The Legend Of Zelda seeing a substantial boost in interest.

For the third year in a row, Fortnite and Overwatch were the two most popular gaming titles on the adult video site.

Rounding out the top five were Pokemon, Minecraft and Atomic Heart. Super Mario was the 20th most searched for game, up 19 places compared to 2022, while The Legend Of Zelda rose 26 places to take the 29th spot.

According to Pornhub, searches for ‘Zelda’ increased 1400 per cent following the release of Tears Of The Kingdom, with Purah, Princess Zelda, Paya, Link and Urbosa the most popular characters with Pornhub audiences. Fortnite’s Chun Li was the most searched character overall, with Mario and Sonic The Hedgehog both appearing in the top ten.

“To see what video game characters were the most popular, our statisticians looked for any searches that combined a character name with the title of the video game they appear in. They did this to avoid counting searches for pornstars who may have similar names,” said Pornhub.
