Comment on Kids nowadays don't have many (if any) videogame heroes...

I think a lot of it has to do with how we game. Older generation games we tended to play an actual character. Then gaming shifted to be immersive, where you, the player, are the main character.

This.
Maybe that’s why I personally get irritated by games that aren’t hardcore RPGs (like New Vegas) where the character is an empty canvas with no personality of its own. I’m more used to being told “You’re this hero. You need to go to this place and defeat this villain. You like chillidog and freedom. Have fun!”

Halo 1’s release (2001) is closer to the first appearance of Mario (1981) than present day (2025). I would definitely call it a legacy IP.

Why would you do this.

Sorta, yes. Although I see Master Chief more like a teen hero.
