History TearJerker / SpyroTheDragon

* In ''Dawn of the Dragon'', when the world is breaking apart, Cynder tells Spyro that she loves him and it is assumed that they died. Despite them being shown flying above the Valley of Avalar in the end, Spyro and Cynder's ultimate fate on whether they're alive or dead is left up to interpretation by WordOfGod.

* In Dawn of the Dragon, When the world is breaking apart, Cynder tells Spyro that she loves him and it is assumed that they died, only by watching the credits is it shown that they're still alive

* In Dawn of the Dragon, When the world is breaking apart, Cynder tells Spyro that she loves him and it is assumed that they died, only be watching the credits is it shown that they're still alive

* The epilogue of the third game. It comes with the normal goofy pictures, but the last image is just the entire cast of characters lined up with the words "Thanks for playing! ''We'll miss you!''" It's like they knew this was their last game before Insomniac gave them up, and while there would be other Spyro games, none of them would be able to capture the magic of the original trilogy.

* Bianca in ''Year of the Dragon'' as she becomes stuck between a rock and a hard place- she doesn't want Spyro, Sparx and Hunter to get killed, and she knows that they'll take care of the baby dragons that should rightfully be back in their world, but the magic in her world is dying and her boss has a heavy hand...

* The ending of ''[[SpyroTheDragon The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon]]'' does this troper in. It's not so much the ''game'' that does it. But the fact is she has been a fan of the series since the beginning. Spyro was the initial motivation for her to begin studying animation. So yeah, there's a lot of nostalgia wrapped up in this little purple dude. So after getting through twenty odd hours of ''infuriatingly'' difficult gameplay, to then see her [[spoiler: favourite character die, (even if it was a DisneyDeath, we didn't ''know'' that until after the credits rolled)]] and receive a ''Thank You "for helping us complete this series, without you it wouldn't have happened"'' to the last decades worth of fans, brought the last ten years of her life back in one big, freaking TearJerker of a sob.
* Ignitus' story about Cynder's past, if the fact an entire generation of unborn babies was just slaughtered doesn't do it, what was done to Cynder certainly would.
** Also, Cynder's explaination at the beginning of ''The Eternal Night'', she's leaving because her past is hurting her so much she can't stand staying somewhere she clearly enjoys being, it's clearly hard for her to leave but she feels she has to. Worse, it's not her fault at all. She's an innocent victim and blames herself for 12 years of murder and destruction she was forced to cause, and is just a poor little kid!
* [[spoiler:Ignitus's death.]]
* When this troper played ANB, she found herself becoming rather fond of the swamp. Easy game level, pretty lighting, seemed like a rather beautiful place, right? Now consider this: The swamp surrounded the Temple. The Temple that Malefor raised into the sky and turned the land around it into the burned lands. The swamp. ''And ever wonder what happened to Spyro and Sparx's parents?'' Hell, this troper was near in tears when she saw the view from the floating isles level, sap that she is. This only made this troper more determined to get to Malefor and make the bastard pay.
