Women love Zelda and Metroid. Zelda's fandom has an absurd percentage of women in it. Most of the sales of Skyward Sword, on launch day? Made them to girls and ladies.

No objections regarding Zelda, but Metroid? I think you are basing this too much of your wife's taste, I just can't see women liking sci-fi themed entertainment a lot. There's of course some who do, but they are a clear minority.

There are certain sci-fi series (Metroid somewhat, Mass Effect moreso) that women just devour. It's a simple point of fact! My wife is an example of it, but for the sake of this discussion it's more important to look at the communities she participates in, which are over 90% female as a rule of thumb. The really serious fans, fans of the characters and the lore, are increasingly female.
