  • Timeless motivation, or tired trope?
  • You can't deny that this has been a bit of a pattern.
  • Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we're counting down our picks for the Top 10 Video Game Damsels in Distress.
  • While games these days definitely feature a larger number of strong and empowered female characters than they did in the past, it seems that from generation to generation, there's always been a few young ladies that need saving.
  • As usual, we're limiting this list to one character per franchise.
  • One of the first-ever video game damsels in distress comes off today as cliched as a distressed damsel can get.
  • Captured by the malicious dragon Singe and locked away in a crystal orb, her champion, Dirk the Daring, must traverse the wizard's castle in order to save her.
  • Like we said, cliche.
  • Once you do find her, there's not much about her demeanor, or outfit, that indicates distress.
  • However lighthearted the game was, the character's overly sexualized presentation was quite the topic of debate.
  • Whatever, man, it was 30 years ago.
  • Stripped of her freedom as an infant, this character awaits her liberation in a tower on the desolate Monument Island.
  • As fate would have it, the protagonist Booker is offered a gratuitous deal of erased debts in return for the girl's retrieval.
  • However sheltered and helpless Elizabeth comes off at first glance, she does truly come into her own as a force to be reckoned with as the game goes on, saving you from distress on occasion.
  • Then again, you do literally save her from a tower in the sky, so you're at least even.
  • Number 8, Maria Santiago, Gears of War 2 Not all damsels get out of distress, as this lady's knight in shining armor arrived all too late.
  • Once happily married to Corporal Dominic Santiago, by the events of the second game, she has gone missing.
  • After venturing underground, Dom finally finds her a captive in a locust prison camp, emaciated and lobotomized, a shell of her former self.
  • As a mercy, he reluctantly has to put her out of her misery, no happily ever after here.
  • Number 7, Kairi, Kingdom Hearts series Okay, really long story short, this girl broke up a friendship between two of the main characters, Sora and Riku, in the battle for her heart, quite literally and figuratively.
  • It gets really complicated, but at the end of the first game, it's revealed that she's one of the Princesses of Heart, which apparently is a pretty big deal.
  • Only trouble is, Sora has her heart at this point, and he sacrifices himself to...
  • We told you it was complicated.
  • Number 6, Lothariel, Middle-Earth, Shadow of Mordor Now, who said princesses couldn't be tough?
  • The smell of fresh meat always attracts the scavengers.
  • Lothariel is the adopted daughter of Lady Marwyn, and the warrior commander of the tribesmen of Nirn.
  • She's as strong as she is tactful, and fearless to a fault.
  • On a desperate mission to save her mother, she's captured by Uruks, forcing Talion to step in and save her from a terrible fate.
  • I will kill you slowly, just how I like to.
  • Of all the damsels we've seen so far, Lothariel is definitely the most badass, as you can even play as her in the game's free DLC.
  • Number 5, Ashley, Resident Evil 4 This spoiled little bundle of joy finds herself in Agent Leon Kennedy's protection, when he is sent to rescue her from a troubled Spanish village.
  • Leon, I think they shot something in my neck.
  • What's funny is that, as the president's daughter, she's technically as close to a modern-day princess as you can get.
  • Though she's definitely not strong or independent, she at least has the common sense to stay hidden in a dumpster when things get messy.
  • Number 4, Yorda, Ico This otherworldly character becomes the victim of her own mother, the queen of the castle she is captive in.
  • Once the horned exile Ico rescues the princess from her imprisonment, they find themselves relying on each other in their escape.
  • Yorda, being unfit for combat, counts on Ico to defend her from the queen's shadow creatures, and to escort her through the castle's perils.
  • She may look high-maintenance, consider Ico has to drag her around by the hand everywhere, but Ico needs Yorda's powers in order to activate many of the magical devices within the castle.
  • Number 3, Marion, Double Dragon We're instantly greeted to this character's distress with a shameful punch to the stomach, when she's knocked unconscious and kidnapped by the Black Warriors gang.
  • Jeez, you think that would fly today?
  • Anyway, it's then left up to the two martial arts masters, Billy Lee and his brother Jimmy, to rescue their shared love interest.
  • Before the climactic end to this love story, the game's multiplayer feature involves a final match between the two brothers in a duel for Marion's affection, where the winner lives happily ever after.
  • Until the sequel, when Marion is shot dead at the very beginning of the game.
  • Distressing.
  • Number 2, Zelda, The Legend of Zelda Series As the descendant of royalty, one would expect to be constantly targeted for kidnapping, although that doesn't quite sink in to The Princess of Hyrule.
  • Link, the game's protagonist, is classically sent on elaborate quests to save her from the Dark Lord Ganon, or Ganondorf, depending on which game you're playing.
  • Despite the game's cookie-cutter, hero-saves-the-princess trend, Zelda is shown in many games to have magical abilities, enabling her to fend for herself.
  • In fact, she turns out to be a skilled archer when taking on Ganondorf.
  • Before we unveil our probably obvious top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
  • Being the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom can be tough, especially when you have a giant, fire-breathing turtle monster ready to kidnap you at every turn.
  • It should be no surprise that our top pick has been kidnapped more than anyone else on this list.
  • But, Mario was saving Pauline from the clutches of Donkey Kong long before Pee-Pee ever showed up, so at least he's had a ton of practice.
  • Despite her horrific track record, Peach never seems to take measures to prevent this sort of thing from happening again, like, say, letting Mario stay in her castle?
  • Jeez, friendzone much?
  • Do you agree with our list?
  • Which damsel do you think is still awaiting her knight in shining armor?
