sad endings in retro games

[The friendcode exchanger]

games in the 80s and 90s didn't have alot of sad endings
but there were some that did have sad endings such as fantasy zone and final fantasy adventure. does anybody know of any other sad ending from a retro game?.

I always got really emotional at the end of Link's Awakening for some reason.

I wouldn't really call it sad though.

EarthBound wasn't sad per say, but it was more touching. It really got to me when

Spoiler: Don't open this if you haven't played the game yet.

Ness and the gang went back to the present after defeating Giygas. I actually almost cried!

Another emotional game ending was the end of Undertale, the Pacifist route specifically.

tfw you consider retro SNES and older but you're on a forum with people much younger than you so they can consider much newer games retro

The ending in Secret of Mana was a bit sad and bittersweet.
