Most tragic or emotional video game moments in history

[Archem]

Well,
[spoiler]I never saw it as "just a dream". I always saw it as a world inside of dreams, almost another dimension. Sure, the world was created by the Windfish, but who's to say that it didn't actually exist? Who's to say it doesn't still exist? Remember that one house where you could go into a dream world? I forgot what the item you went in there for was, but the item was real. You got it, woke up, and used it. Think of this dream world as that sort of thing. Think of the dream as a portal to this otherwise inaccessible place. Sure, the Windfish woke up, but why would a place it brought into existence be destroyed by its waking? None of the characters knew for sure what would happen when it awoke, and we don't, either. We may never be able to return there, but we can't just assume that everything there is gone forever.[/spoiler]

I think it was [spoiler]the ocarina[/spoiler]

I like your view of [spoiler]the dream as being another world. And you may be right about it. Apparently, when you beat the game with a certain condition I forgot, you can see a seagull fly (presumably Marin, since she said she wished to be a seagull to fly etc.) and I think you can also see the Windfish. However, I'm not sure about that...[/spoiler]

There is something I don't understand, though... it's been a while I haven't played Link's Awakening...
[spoiler]When you beat the game, Link wake up in the middle of the Ocean... how can he return home now that his boat has been destroyed?[/spoiler]

[Red Giant]

Who says he does? lel.

[Archem]

Oh, neat bit of trivia: The Windfish can be seen flying around one of the sets of line tracks in Kirby Airride on the Frozen Hills track. Quite a neat thingy. That level was my favorite because of that easter egg.

[Cerebus]

Who says he does? lel.

Uhm, indeed. Then that would mean it could be one of the most tragic video game moment, since
[spoiler]he doesn't go home, he would just die there if no one comes to save him. That's tragic.[/spoiler]

[Archem]

Oh, you know, it's also pretty tragic when
[spoiler]you lose.[/spoiler]

[Cerebus]

Well, not really since when [spoiler]you lose, you just don't wake up. That means, in some way, that you will die in your sleep. However, when you complete the game, you wake up in the middle of the ocean, where probably no one will come to save you, so you will die slowly, alone...[/spoiler]

Or unless you actually meant [spoiler]The game.[/spoiler]

[Archem]

Ah, you caught me! #2, S.V.P.

[spoiler]At the end of the game you see a seagul, but if you beat it with 0 deaths, you see Marin's sprite flying by with wings instead of the seagul. Hard to say if this is canon or just a little easter egg. Honestly if they added her in as a cameo in a later game, even an extremely small nearly inconsequentially small role, it would prove her existance at all and make me a Zelda fan until the end of my days. But they don't really do things like that.[/spoiler]

[Archem]

Oh, yeah. I remember that. I didn't know it was the result of a deathless run, though.

I don't die in Zelda games.

[Cerebus]

Me neither. Well, actually I do sometime, but I always reset.
However, I don't remember it, even though I did beat the game without dying. But that's probably due to my bad memory.

[spoiler]Honestly if they added her in as a cameo in a later game,[/spoiler]

Actually... I seem to recall her having a cameo somewhere...

[WarxePB]

They made a trophy in SSBM for Marin. But that's about it.

[Legacy of Elecrusher]

They made a trophy in SSBM for Marin. But that's about it.

I mean in another Legend of Zelda game, I seem to recall some small underlying reference...
