| 1 | * When Link finds the Old Wayfarer's hideaway, there's a message left for his estranged son. |
| 2 | -->'''Old Wayfarer''': To my son, Romanos. If you're reading these words, you have found my true hideaway. Which means you also have developed a desire to find your own way in life. Know that I'm truly sorry for putting you and your mother through so much. I'm well aware that I'm the world's worst father, leaving you both behind. There's so much about the ways of the world I don't understand. Such as why the Ghost Ship appears and steals people. Where do its victims go? I have decided to dedicate my life to finding out the answers. If I fail to return, please take care of your mother. And please forgive me. |
| 3 | * The revelation that [[spoiler:Linebeck accidentally saved Jolene from a sea monster and traveled with her before he made off with some of her loot. He was ''so close'' to developing a real friendship and perhaps more, but...old habits die hard.]] |
| 4 | -->'''Ciela''': [[DisappointedInYou Oh, Linebeck...you really are dense, aren't you?]] |
| 5 | * The final battle. It looks like Link and Tetra are about to get all of their life-force sucked out for good, but suddenly, Linebeck, of all people, starts to fight the monster off. This must be the hugest character development in a Zelda game EVER! (Not even Midna managed to change her ways ''that'' much). After all you've gone through alongside this JerkWithAHeartOfGold, he's finally proven that he's more than just a selfish idiot...and suddenly, Bellum comes up, possesses him and transforms him into a monster himself. Your only choice is to fight him, right after he got his SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. Made worse by the fact that he weakly calls out to Link, just before the transformation is done. |
| 6 | ** It's even more tear-inducing in the manga adaptation, where he [[spoiler:almost ''commits suicide'']] to stop Bellum, and it takes a time sphere to stop him. As he [[spoiler:holds the sword to his neck, he tells Link that he really ''did'' like travelling with him, and [[JacobMarleyWarning tells Link to grow up to be a better adult than he ever was.]]]] |
| 7 | * When Link finds Tetra [[spoiler:turned to stone]], his expression is heartbreaking. |
| 8 | * Hell, in this game just ''dying'' results in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EntytViqzK4 the single most heart-wrenching six notes in the series.]] |
| 9 | ** The Game Over sequence itself. The way Link keels over with a weak gasp, his [[DiesWideOpen eyes glazed and staring into space]] and his mouth agape, the way the camera slowly zooms out from his lifeless body and the music, it makes it look like the ending to a bad-ending fable. |
