80s Trivia: Which of these video games' protagonist is female?

Video games are known for their male protagonists.  With few exceptions, this has always been the case, largely since video games appeal so much to the male demographics.  However, during the 80s, one game broke the mold.  Off of Pocket Trivia: 80s Trivia - Which of these video games' protagonist is female?  Was it?

• Excitebike
• Bomberman
• Dragon Warrior
• Metroid

The answer to this is the 1986 NES classic, Metroid.  The game was revolutionary in a variety of respects - it has varying weapons and somewhat of an open map to be explored by the player, two relatively new features at the time.  It also had varying endings if you completed the game under a certain amount of time.  One of those endings was featured here - Samus' bulky armor disappeared, revealing the hero to be a woman - something that was completely unheard of at the time.
