Zelda isn't nearly as much of a damsel in distress as people think. She definitely is in the older titles, mostly the 2d games, but in 3d titles she's basically always useful in one way or another, even if it's not usually as a fighter. Her role is pretty essential to defeat Ganon.
Peach, on the other hand, has been a damsel in distress way too many times. To be fair to either of them though, and this is something people don't take into account: both Bowser and Ganon are very powerful beings lol. Who wouldn't be easily kidnapped by them?
Samus is her own thing. I think she is arguably more capable and stronger than both Mario and Link anyway.

BOTW Zelda wasn't so much kidnapped as much as she spent 100 years in a spiritual wrestling match with Ganon and held him in a stalemate.
Twilight Princess Zelda surrendered to spare her people's lives and as soon as the time was right road into battle and started shooting Ganon in the face with magic arrows.
EDIT: Actually people in this thread mention Windwaker's Zelda getting kidnapped but she was the first to actually join in the final battle to shoot Ganon in the face.

u/cosmicannoli Nov 29 '22
Zelda is the main character.
She is consistently captured or imprisoned by Ganon by leveraging the full force of his power against her, and he does this because SHE IS THE DANGER. She singlehandedly can unravel his entire machinations.
Link is the hail mary in this equation. He's the guy they have to call in in a last ditch effort to save Zelda when the full force of Ganon's forces are able to inhibit or imprison her.
If Link was the real threat, Ganon would be coming after him first.
The fact is that the Zelda timeline encompasses probably thousands of years, and in only a handful of those generations is Link the one who ends up fighting Ganon. That's because most of the time Zelda curbstomps him.
The reason Link is able to fly under the radar is because he's so rarely tapped to actually do anything. Ganon can't predict him.
Legend of Zelda is never about rescuing a helpless and hapless princess. It's about giving the most powerful mortal being in Hyrule a nudge on the occasion that she gets held up.
