Misuse of the page/link, Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup

* ''VideoGame/{{Illusion of Gaia}}'' featured the protagonists captured by a village where the natives were so desperate for food as to preparing to resort to [[EatTheDog cannibalism]]. The princess' pet pig, a faithful companion who has gotten the party out of many tough scrapes by luck and its intelligence, leaps into the cooking fire, sacrificing himself to be food for villagers. Kind of sad...though also somewhat {{Narm}} worthy considering the reaction Will has if you examine the cooked remains. Oh, and the fact the pig's name is ''Ham''let.

* In the original Prophecies campaign of ''VideoGame/GuildWars'', Shining Blade officer Saidra sacrifices herself to help the heroes and her leader Evennia escape from the Mursaat who are [[AdvancingBossOfDoom slowly approaching to kill you all]] by suicidally attacking them in order to buy time for you to reach the boat. Unfortunately the effect of the scene is somewhat undermined by the cold, hard facts of the game mechanics- the reason you have to flee the Mursaat in the first place is that their Spectral Agony power is so devastating at this stage of the game that any opponent not resistant to it dies in mere seconds. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome As indeed does Saidra]]. Combined with the minute-long cutscene where she says her goodbyes before her suicidal charge, the net result is that [[StupidSacrifice she lays down her life to delay you for 50 seconds]].

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'':
** After Link manages to make his way to the [[PortalToThePast Gate of Time]] just as Zelda and Impa prepare to use it, their reunion is rudely interrupted by [[BigBad Ghirahim]], who uses his magic to keep Link out of the way while he tries to grab Zelda. Impa is having none of it, however, and holds him off while telling Zelda to run towards the Gate. While she doesn't last long, she lasts long enough for Ghirahim's magic barrier to dispel, allowing Link to take her place while Impa and Zelda go through the Gate before blowing it up, ensuring that Ghirahim (and sadly, Link) cannot follow them.
** Every time Link fights [[EldritchAbomination The Imprisoned]] in the Sealed Grounds, his highest priority is to seal it again before it can reach the Sealed Temple outside the pit proper, [[NonStandardGameOver or else it's an instant Game Over]]. {{Justified|Trope}}, since [[spoiler:[[TheSlowPath Zelda is sleeping in stasis within the temple]] in order to maintain the seal, and the Imprisoned intends to [[SoulEating consume her soul]] in order to restore its power as [[GreaterScopeVillain Demise the Demon King]]]]. After [[TheRival Groose]] can do nothing but watch how his hated rival fights colossal monsters for breakfast, [[CharacterDevelopment he fights off his ensuing depression]] by helping Link from the second encounter onwards by building a catapult to chuck large bombs at the Imprisoned, stunning it long enough for Link to do his job.
** [[spoiler:After Zelda awakens in the present, Ghirahim once again interrupts the reunion, this time successfully kidnapping Zelda. Aware that his master is dead in the present, however, he quickly figures that he can revive him in the past, and prepares to use the Gate of Time. Groose [[NervesOfSteel defiantly]] stands in his way, [[SubvertedTrope but an annoyed Ghirahim easily swats him aside]].]]
