  • A lot of moments in his playthrough of Majora’s Mask.
    • When he first goes through the Anju and Kafei sidequest, he sounds sad. He watches Anju suffer from heartbreak over her fiancé possibly ditching her and feels like he’s unable to make her happy. There’s also the scene with Link and Kaepora Gaebora where Link talks about all the tragedy he’s witnessed in the game and feeling powerless as he wants to help everyone, but can’t due to the three-day time loop he’s trapped in.
    Kaepora Gaebora: What are you doing, Link? The moon will be crashing soon. You’ve not played the Song of Time.
    Link: Why does it matter? Anju is heartbroken and miserable as is her family.
    Kaepora Gaebora: Anju, much like you, has met a terrible fate, but a terrible fate is not one you have to accept. You can go back in time and find out what happened with her fiancé. You can save their marriage.
    Link: Yeah and while I’m taking care of that, Romani and the cows will be abducted, the monkey in the swamp will be tried for a crime he didn’t commit, the Gorons will be stuck in winter, the Zora eggs will be stolen, and Pamela’s father will be zombified. There’s no stopping any of this. While I help end one person’s suffering, fifty others are suffering in the process. It’s a battle we’re all losing and a war we cannot win. So what’s the point? If anything, the moon is doing this world a favor.
    • The epilogue video has a lot of sad moments. Some notable highlights include him not helping Romani and Cremia with the ranch, not saving the old woman from being robbed by Sakon, etc. The worst ones being with his involvement with Anju and Kafei’s side-quest like letting the Sun Mask fall into Sakon’s trap and not giving Anju the pendant, which results in Kafei showing up to Anju’s room alone.
  • The scenes with Mildred and George in his playthrough of Banjo-Tooie. He has to kill both of them to complete two sidequests and both of them are really nice people. Before he kills them, they both talk about each other, thus making him feel extremely guilty for killing them. Mildred’s death was even worse because her death is a parody of Jesse James’s and both Banjo and Kazooie are reluctant to kill her for the Jinjo she possesses.
