* That [[TheScrappy annoying guy]] who's been pestering you throughout ''Oracle of Ages'' is revealed to be the future descendant of the possessed queen... and he is prepared to kill his own ancestor, [[GrandfatherParadox erasing his own existence]], if that's what it will take to stop the BigBad.
-->'''Ralph:''' Fine! If I slay you, I vanish! Maybe it is terrifying... But if I must, I must. To do nothing and live just isn't me.
* The reunion of Ambi and her lost lover, the Pirate Captain in a linked game of ''Oracle of Seasons''.
* For many people? The fact that ''Seasons'' to ''Ages'' is the canonical path. This means that canonically? The aforementioned reunion doesn't happen. Sure, they are unable to stay together - but at ''least'' Ambi gets closure. Canonically? She [[TheWoobie never gets this]] - meaning she presumably had to write him off for dead, and never got to say goodbye to him.
* The grandma whose grandson has been tuned to stone as a result of Veran's meddling, who pleads for him to return to normal. The sad music amplifies it.
-->'''Gramma:''' What's going on? My grandson has turned to stone! How??? Why??? Wake up! Call me Gramma again..
* The pirate ghost who goes to heaven after finding the bell. Of course, you find out later he got stuck halfway, apparently having forgotten how to get there.
* The sorry state of Symmetry City in the present before the Tuni Nut is fixed as the city is destroyed by the volcano and all you find is broken houses and several monsters in the ruins. The sad music that plays also doesn't help.
