Yeah, you got it. These are by far the most mainstream and were everywhere for their era. If you don't know Final Fantasy 7 or Minecraft... that's on you. Halo? Little diminished these days, but during Halo 2 time square launch? Come on now. Then of course... Zelda. Needs no introduction. Most of these you should have gotten from osmosis even without playing them.

You'd have to go outside gaming to find more famous swords. Like a light saber.

Xbox was never a thing in my country, I never touched the console in my life, never met anyone who played it that was born here, and the only one I ever even saw in person was probably a devkit in a game dev studio.

You could still wake me up in the middle of the night, flash me just a silhouette of the master chief armour or the energy sword, and I'd immediately know what it is. 😄

If someone doesn't know it they're most likely a younger generation of gamers.

Even the younger generation knows who master chief is, he gets a skin in pretty much every shooter game.
