** A Digimon may also have an item, which according to their bios/backstory may have some kind of lore or origin, but if the Digimon Digivolved with it, then it would have just appeared from the ether. One such example is Zudamon's Thor's Hammer, a weapon which it explicitly dug out of ancient ice... which is generally contrary to the fact it probably just materialized when a player's Ikkakumon reached Ultimate level, no digging required.

* Averted in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' with Relic Weapons, depending on the expansion:
** In ''A Realm Reborn'', you specifically go out to find the legendary weapon, and it's in terrible shape. You then use a specific non-legendary weapon as a base to have a smith reforge the weapon, and then increase its power through various actions until it ceases to be the legendary weapon and instead becomes an even more powerful legendary weapon, specifically using the power of aether and magic to transcend.
** In ''Heavensward'', you're approached to ''create'' what the designer hopes will become a legendary weapon, by using a heretofore unknown and potentially dangerous technique to give your weapon sentience and sapience through sheer power and incredible craftsmanship.
** In ''Shadowbringers'', the legendary weapons were lost entirely and cannot be found or reforged. So instead the smiths work to create new weapons ''inspired'' by those legendary weapons, including using the same names, and end up making them even better using modern techniques.
** In ''Endwalker'', there's no talk about legendary weapons at all. Instead, you just have the Impossible Blacksmith team up with another Impossible Blacksmith, use techniques that make no sense ("Why am I being oiled by up a mythical concoction that includes sweat?"), and turn out some of the greatest weapons ever made through sheer ingenuity, craftsmanship, and rare materials. And also a lot of weirdly oiled up men.

In it, she fell in love with a co-worker named Dr. Brad Scott years ago, who then proceeded to die to a Cybug just before they got married. Hero's Duty, the game Calhoun comes from, is implied to have only been brought in to the arcade very recently, making it impossible for this to have actually happened to the Calhoun we see in the movie. Also applies to most of the games in general, with Ralph and Felix having the origin story of Ralph's stump being moved over to a dump nearby the Nicelanders' apartment complex, with Felix having obtained his magic hammer from his father, who doesn't exist in the game itself, and the Sugar Rush racers [[spoilers:having their memories altered by [[BigBad King Candy]] to believe that Vanellope was never a real racer, and was always a glitch.]]
