* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'': According to ''Literature/HyruleHistoria'', one of the series' {{Alternate Timeline}}s occurs when [[TheBadGuyWins Ganon defeats Link]] during the events of ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]''. This leads into ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast A Link to the Past]]'', ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening Link's Awakening]]'', ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames Oracle of Seasons & Ages]]'', and the [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI original]] [[VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink two]] games (interesting that ''every Zelda'' game released before ''Ocarina of Time'' is set in this timeline). Added to the "Hero Defeated" Timeline (as of April 17, 2013) is ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds A Link Between Worlds]]'', taking place between ''Link's Awakening'' and the first game.

The reason for this is that ''Ocarina''[='s=] final battle is the only moment in the series where Ganondorf transforms into Demon King Ganon, the form he was already in during all games prior, which necessitates that he got away from said battle victorious. Added to the "Hero Defeated" Timeline (as of April 17, 2013) is ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds A Link Between Worlds]]'', taking place between ''Link's Awakening'' and the first game.

*** In ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'', the events of ''Knights of the Old Republic'' don't usually come up very often (since those games took place three centuries before the MMO), but when they do, the first game's PlayerCharacter and the Exile were Light side (Revan, for example, helped the outcasts on Taris get to the Promised Land).
** ''VideoGame/JediKnightDarkForcesII'' had two endings: In the Dark Side one, Kyle becomes the new Galactic Emperor. Naturally, the canonical ending is the Light Side one, where he defeats the bad guy and leaves the Valley of the Jedi in peace. It's also interesting how if you pick the Light Side, you get cutscenes that explain why you're performing the missions and a plot that ties itself up nicely. If you pick the Dark side, however, you barely get some exposition text that (barely) justifies doing the exact same missions and actions.
** ''VideoGame/JediKnightIIJediOutcast'', only has one ending. The spin-off, ''VideoGame/JediKnightJediAcademy'', has both a Light and Dark ending, which like ''Dark Forces II'' features an identical set of missions, but with more effort put into differentiating the endings - the Dark Side ending has [[MeleeATrois both the Jedi and the Disciples of Ragnos fighting you]], and you get different cutscenes and a different FinalBoss. WordOfGod is that the Light ending is canonical, which is where the novels starring Jaden Korr follow from.
** ''VideoGame/TheForceUnleashed''[='=]s Dark Side ending leaves Vader dead and you the Emperor's slave, while the Light Side ending ends with you dead but inspiring a resistance against the Empire. However, there's also an expansion that is a "WhatIf" story taking place right after the Dark ending, where Starkiller takes Vader's place in events from the movies up to the beginning of ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'', ending at the point where [[spoiler:Starkiller manages to turn Luke to the Dark Side and takes him as his apprentice]]. Intriguingly, the Dark Side ending for its sequel is more plausibly canon than the Light, due to the third installment being canceled. The dark-side ending ties up the loose ends of the main characters' fates [[spoiler:by killing everyone specific to the games]], whereas the light-side ending is a massive cliffhanger [[spoiler:(Darth Vader captured by the Rebellion)]] that is completely incompatible with the EU.

** The East Coast Brotherhood seems to have won out once again as the first eight episodes of the ''Series/Fallout2024'' TV series include a couple of scenes of the ''Prydwen'' intact, as well as a one-off mention of "the highest clerics in the Commonwealth", while canonically taking place nine years after ''Fallout 4'', indicating that they either destroyed the Institute themselves, or the Minutemen were the ones to do it and never picked a fight with the Brotherhood before, during, or after. Minorly, if the latter scenario were to be the one that occurred, it offers the distinct possibility that the Railroad is still around as well.
