* Similar to the comics counterpart, in ''Series/TheFlash2014'' Barry goes back in time to save his mom, resulting in the Flashpoint timeline. This version is LighterAndSofter instead of the utter hell of the comics version, and he only restores time when Wally West is mortally wounded. He restores an altered version of reality, causing changes in the lives of the people around him (yes, they learn. Yes, they take it about as badly as you think.) And, as in the comics, Barry learns that ''everything'' isn't his fault (though it's not quite to the extent of "a totally unrelated reality-warping character really did it" like the comics. Rather, when we learn Savitar's deal it's clear it would have happened anyway, and just because Barry didn't ''know'' of Caitlin's AnIcePerson powers until after the reset doesn't mean for sure that it's the cause of her stint as Killer Frost. With things like this he learns to let go of ItsAllMyFault mode and accept the current world.)

** However ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'' reveals that Kronika, the Goddess of time in the MK universe, has actually been doing this ''several times'' even way before the events of the first game [[spoiler: largely as a way to turn Raiden and Liu Kang against each other as the two are the major threats to her plan to create a universe how she wants it, even stating that in some cases Raiden finding out in previous timelines hasn't deterred her. However in this reiteration Raiden gives up his god power to Liu Kang (the one that got pulled from the past, not the one in this timeline who turned evil when he became a revenant) who proceeds to (canonically) defeat Kronika and take control of the hourglass. This time intending to make a new timeline without her influence, thus being the rebooter for the next installment.]]

* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'': The "Hero of Time" Link from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' is retroactively revealed to be one in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' and the ''Literature/HyruleHistoria''. The bulk of the story for ''Ocarina of Time'' takes place in a timeline where Ganondorf takes over and ravages Hyrule until Link and the Sages [[SealedEvilInACan trap him in the Sacred Relam]]. Afterward, Princess Zelda sends Link back in time to his childhood so that he can live it out properly and peacefully. Link uses the opportunity to preemptively warn Zelda and the King about Ganondorf's EvilPlan, leading to the attempted execution of Ganondorf and his imprisonment in the Twilight Realm. In the original timeline, Ganon breaks out of the Sacred Realm, but now there's no Hero to stop him, so the gods flood Hyrule to keep it out of his hands, leading to the events of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker''.
