Top Ten Best Nintendo Princesses

The Top Ten
  1. Princess Peach

    Princess Peach is a major character in the Mario Bros. franchise. She is the lead female character in the series. She is usually the character who needs to be rescued in most Mario games, but she has also appeared as a playable character in main-series Mario games, including Super Mario 3D World, Super... read more

    The only thing holding her back is her kidnappings. Disregard those, and you've got yourself a beast of a princess. She even tried to escape her kidnapping once. While I say Zelda is more likable, I prefer Peach anyway.

    Most of the time, Peach is quite calm and polite. Plus, she is active in sports (like other Mario characters) and even goes on Mario's adventures (or her own) at times, encountering the same enemies.

    Under all that delicate appearance lives a tough side of Peach. Sure, she gets kidnapped often, but she is strong underneath. Do not be fooled by her looks. If you underestimate her, don't be shocked if she hits you with a frying pan!

  2. Princess Zelda

    Princess Zelda is a fictional character in Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda video game series, created by Shigeru Miyamoto and introduced in its original entry in 1986. She is typically portrayed as a member of the Hyrule royal family and often possesses magical abilities or wisdom. Zelda plays a central... read more

    I was reading the comments, and someone actually used Peach beating Zelda in a death match, made by some Peach fanboy. Get real. Peach would get destroyed. Zelda is by far the best on this list. She has the Triforce of Wisdom and an unbreakable connection with Link.

    Peach is nothing more than a rebound girl for Mario. People love to bring up all the side games and act like that is part of her "powers" and abilities. If that's the case, I would bring up the Hyrule Warriors Zelda, who would destroy any Peach variation. The games are called The Legend of Zelda. Peach is just an afterthought in Mario.

    Dude, Zelda is the best princess. She may wear elegant dresses, but she is tough as nails. She isn't all up in a tower saying "save me, save me." I mean, sure, she does get kidnapped, but she is also essential in defeating Ganondorf with her powerful magic.

    Plus, she has the badass alter egos of ninja-like Sheik and tough pirate Tetra. And when she's in her "normal" princess form, she rules the land with beyond-her-years wisdom and maturity, and faces hardship with dignity and noble defiance. Zelda is surely the best princess of them all.

  3. Princess Rosalina

    Hottest princess. She went into space alone with no parents and raised Lumas. She has the most potential and is being included in everything recently. She rocks a biker suit, is mysterious, and has a polite and pleasant attitude.

    She helps piece together the puzzle of the Mario universe and had no help making her way in space. She has an awesome spaceship and helps create a new Mario universe. Yes, her story is sad, but she is not! Vote Rosalina!

    Rosalina is super cool! My favorite Nintendo character, one of the best bikers, and the most deceptive tennis player! She can lift stuff telekinetically and travel at the speed of light. She has all the wisdom in the world, the prettiest face, and a super caring yet powerful personality!

    She's the absolute best princess ever in the whole entire Nintendo universe!

  4. Lucina

    Lucina is one of the main characters in Fire Emblem Awakening and a playable fighter in the Super Smash Bros. series. She is the daughter of Chrom and a skilled swordswoman who travels back in time to prevent a disastrous future. Lucina is recognized for her strong sense of justice and devotion to her... read more

    Lucina is a different kind of princess. Sure, Zelda is probably number one overall, but Lucina absolutely sacrifices for her people as much as the most hardcore incarnations of Zelda and more than most of her incarnations.

    She is smarter than Rosalina, is never going to be helpless like Peach, is more well-rounded than Daisy, isn't arm candy to anyone unlike Pauline, and made a difference that even surpassed Midna. She was designed with her own personality, quirks, strengths, and shortcomings. The only female character in the Nintendo universe who can compete is Samus, but she isn't a princess.

    She is the opposite of helpless, one of the strongest warriors in the Nintendo universe, and though she doesn't get the joke, everyone wants to follow her. She has conquered time and fate. She puts herself last. She considers the consequences of her actions...probably a little too much in fact. And she may be the best Nintendo swordsman.

    Good luck trying to kidnap her. She says when it ends.

  5. Princess Daisy

    Princess Daisy is a fictional character in the Mario series of video games, where she is the princess of the fictional region of Sarasaland.

    Daisy debuted in Super Mario Land in 1989. After a few other appearances, she disappeared for nine years until she was brought back in Mario Tennis (2000).... read more

    Daisy is a great princess. She only needed a guy to save her twice, once in Super Mario Land and once in Super Mario Run. That's pretty good compared to (ahem, Peach). I don't understand why people dislike her.

    Just because she's in spin-offs doesn't mean she's bad. It's not Daisy's fault Nintendo created her and was lazy with her. Don't get offended, Rosalina and Peach fans. I don't hate Rosalina or Peach. I just prefer Daisy.

    Princess Daisy is awesome! She is the coolest princess in all of Nintendo! Although she is a tomboy, she can still be quite girly as well. I absolutely love her aesthetic, attitude (especially if she loses in a game), and colors!

    She is my favorite princess not only because of how she acts, but also because my friends and family think I look just like her. We share attributes like hair color, eye color, and favorite color. Daisy will always be my favorite princess and character forever and ever.

  6. Mipha (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)

  7. Urbosa (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)

    Urbosa is pretty darn awesome. That's all I have to say.

  8. Midna (The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

    Midna is the Twilight Princess, a central character in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. She was transformed into an imp by Zant, who usurped her throne and cursed her people.

    She joins forces with Link to retrieve the Fused Shadows in order to defeat Zant and restore her kingdom. Eventually... read more

    Midna deserves to be much higher, like #5. She is a great character. She has quite a bit of personality and a very mischievous nature, which makes her fun to play with in Twilight Princess. Again, she deserves higher.

  9. Princess Ruto

    She should be under Caeda, because no one knows her.

  10. Princess Corrin

  11. The Newcomers

    Caeda

    Caeda is Marth's wife in the first Fire Emblem game, Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon and The Blade of Light. She is also Lucina's great great great grandmother and Chrom's great great grandmother. Loved by the Fire Emblem community for her high speed and luck equipped with the iconic spear she wields in battle, not limited to Fire Emblem Heroes. She remains as Marth's independent and reliant partner whenever he needs her to aid him in battle. Without Caeda, Marth would be left broken and "lacking". He desperately cares about Caeda and would feel a tremendous amount of guilt if she's gone. (Yes, in the original game, "Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon and The Blade of Light", units can die permanently. This was later optional depending on the game difficulty mode you were on in Awakening and later modern Fire Emblem games. Caeda and many other units in th game can die permanently, making the game difficult and leave supporting characters and the main character affected by the deaths of their loved ones or allies). This indicates she is crucial apart of the story and connected to the main character, Marth.

  14. The Contenders
  15. Princess Shokora

    She's from Warioware, and she's so cute and colorful!

  16. Celica

  17. Princess Hilda

  18. Pauline

    Pauline is a fictional character who first appeared in the 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong. She was originally introduced as the damsel in distress who must be rescued by Mario from the giant ape. Pauline has since reappeared in several Nintendo titles, including Super Mario Odyssey, where she serves as... read more

  19. Princess Tiki

  20. Krystal

    Krystal is a fictional character from the Star Fox video game series by Nintendo. She first appeared in Star Fox Adventures in 2002 as a telepathic blue vixen from the planet Cerinia. Krystal later became a member of the Star Fox team and developed a strong following among fans.

  21. Princess Eclair

  22. Saria

  23. Lissa

  24. Hinoka

  25. Kumatora

    Now let's see here. Oh! Nobody voted for Kumatora? None of y'all know Mother 3? Wow, I'm disappointed. Okay. Princess Kumatora is the female playable character of the Mother/EarthBound franchise (Ness and Lucas's game).

    She is the female companion of Lucas. While she's a rude tomboy, she's a complete badass with a badass attitude. She's very powerful, possessing the OP Earthbound moves PK Ground and PK Starstorm.

    She is a badass tomboy who can use some of the most powerful PSI in the game. She has a badass attitude and lives in a castle filled with ghosts!

  26. Princess Camilla

  27. Melia Antiqua

    She kicks ass more than any other Nintendo character and actually does her royal duties.

    Underrated. Nintendo's best girl. She needs to be in the top 10.

    She should be higher. She deserves more credit.

  28. Paula Polestar

  29. Princess Penny
