What are the saddest moments in retro gaming?

I tear up at several parts of Ocarina of Time because of things like the loss of innocence/adulthood/Sarya/Link having an overall shitty life.

Yeah that was good and I know it's supposed to be a "childhood is over" thing but Klonoa could easily come back and visit those guys ... Right?

This whole game is brutal. Secret/true ending was a total fucking pita to get but I'm glad I did it.

The character in your gif has to do with the saddest moment in the game he's in.

> play the NG plus, which requires beating a post game dungeon first
> choose the hesitate answer when you talk with that Madam โ€ฆ why they did this?? I have no fucking idea

The endgame was already intense with the drama, but man, the ending pulls no punches even with replays. It's the execution of it and the acting with the gibberish is still good.

The credits music of some games like SoR2, MGS1, and Super Mario 64 make me cry. They feel peaceful like you've really been through a lot.

OoT made me cry as a kid when Zelda sent Link back in time because it was implied that she would be stuck here in the Sacred Realm as an adult. I'm not sure if this is actually correct.

I think one of the beauties of OoT storytelling is how some elements of it are free to each to interpret.
I think Zelda remained in the present/"bad future" hyrule, while Link was sent to the past, pre-dorf takeover Hyrule.
I think Zelda is sad because she probably fell in love with Link: she's been waiting him for 7 years, and then stalked him as he heroically defeated each temple boss and saved her from Ganondorf.
She could have snatched Link's lost 7 years but decided not to as to not be selfish. You can tell in Zelda's face that she feels sad, not because of Link having lost 7 years (as she was going to give them back to him), but the fact he couldn't stay with her.
So, maybe she returns to Hyrule as I think, but there's also another big possibility of Zelda "turning into a sage" which also could mean death, at least in the mortal way.

Not necessarily saddest but more of an overjoyed feeling given the right set of circumstances:
>playing RE3 like in 2001 for the first time
>the shit is so tense especially when you witness Nemesis and can actually fucking open doors
>working on every puzzle with basically no knowledge
>the worst one for me was the water thing in late game. I eventually understood what was the logic but fuck I remember it toom me 2 hours to get it right
>how the fuck does this dodge work again? Yes the manual mentioned the mechanic but it was vague bullshit
>that motherfucker doesnโ€™t want to die he keeps returning no matter what
>finally a chopper coming abd we are leaving thโ€ฆ. YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!!!!
>the subsequent events until the final battle
>this masterpiece played in the credits
