STRONG FEMALE FANTASY HEROES IN GAMING AND THEIR WORLDS
If you think you're cool only on the other side of the screen, where you're a fierce Valkyrie, a victorious warrior, and a beautiful elf, then yes, you really think so... In reality, you're much cooler! After all, it's easy to defeat enemies with a two-handed sword at the ready, but you've managed to deal with an arrogant colleague with a smile on your face and a cup of coffee in your hand more than once! But a sword would certainly make the task much easier, wouldn't it😉?...
To create our framed video game art, ZeWood was inspired not only by heroes from computer games, but also by the best female protagonists in video games. And in this article, we'll remember the key strong female game characters who stole our hearts and saved their worlds - often while looking effortlessly cool. These women are not just pixels on the screen; they are icons of strength, resilience, and wit! And you can learn more from them than you think!
ALOY (HORIZON ZERO DAWN): THE TECH-SAVVY SURVIVOR
Aloy is the ultimate example of a female fantasy hero who doesn’t wait for a knight in shining armor. She’s too busy taking down robotic dinosaurs with her bow and arrow. Her world, a post-apocalyptic Earth overrun by machines, is as harsh as it is beautiful. Sound familiar? Aloy’s resourcefulness and determination remind us that you should always have a backup plan (and a backup charger😜).
ZeWood, like you, couldn't resist the versatility of this heroine, and now you have the opportunity to touch her world with our gamer wall art 3D Horizon Zero Dawn Map - explore every corner of her stunning, dangerous landscape on this 3d video game map — minus the robot dinosaurs, of course.
CIRI (THE WITCHER): THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL BADASS
Speed, magic, and a wit sharper than Geralt’s swords—Ciri from The Witcher is a legend. A trained fighter with the power to jump between worlds, she balances destiny, duty, and the occasional sarcastic comeback like a pro. If you’ve ever felt like you’re being pulled in a million directions but still manage to kick butt, you’re basically the Ciri of your friend group👍.
Not only Geralt, but this green-eyed beauty inspired us to create a Custom 3D wooden map of the Northern Kingdoms - a framed video game art piece that lets you track Ciri’s incredible journey across The Continent.
ZELDA (THE LEGEND OF ZELDA) – THE PRINCESS WHO SAVES HERSELF
Who says princesses need saving? Zelda has been a scholar, a warrior, a strategist, and—let’s be honest—the real brains behind most of Link’s adventures.
Her wisdom and determination make her one of the best female protagonists in video games. And let’s not forget her iconic world, Hyrule, with its lush forests, towering mountains, and mysterious temples.
If you’ve ever juggled work, studies, and an overwhelming to-do list, congratulations—you’re channeling Zelda’s energy. And what better way to honor this legendary kingdom than with the perfect Hyrule 3D Poster, a gamer room wall art masterpiece that deserves a throne of its own.
SADIE ADLER (RED DEAD REDEMPTION) – THE OUTLAW QUEEN
Sadie Adler is proof that you don’t need magic or futuristic tech to be a strong female game character. This sharpshooting outlaw is as tough as they come, with a heart of gold (and a trigger finger to match). Her world, the rugged American frontier, is as wild and untamed as she is.
Want to channel Sadie’s fearless spirit? Our Custom 3D wooden map of RDR brings the Red Dead Redemption world to life in stunning detail. It’s the perfect framed video game art for any fan of the Wild West.
WOMEN WHO GAME HARD & RULE HARDER
We hope that ZeWood was able to remind you with this article that real heroines are different and unique. And it doesn't matter what battle you won - the Battle of Kaer Morhen or the battle in line for a latte at Starbucks, the main thing is that you fought😏!
And you deserve to have your own 3D video game world at home, and a donut with your latte of course❤️!
