Yes, Majora's Mask was to me more character study than any of the other Zelda games. Although many characters shared the same appearance as the previous Zelda title, they were far more developed. People of course look to the Happy Mask Salesman as the pivotal example, but 'minor' characters in the story have some of the most memorable moments in the game.
Also, this game returned the sense of mystery and melancholy I felt playing A Link to the Past as a child (I am thinking specifically of the ending credits with its view of the sun-drenched mountains, the scene where Link plays a final song for the flute kid (made me think of Return to Oz), and the wonderfully named 'Tower of Hera'). Although Majora's Mask did not give me that same sense of a Greek epic, I oftentimes felt like I was steeped in Japanese folklore, especially when it came to the 'Stone Tower' that Link had to ascend.

Yes.
I also was crying almost the whole time through the intro to Alpha Sapphire. Emerald was my absolute favorite pokemon game when I was younger, and seeing it totally remastered brought back so much nostalgia I couldn't hold it in. It was pretty ridiculous.

Oh, no, I definitely don't know anything about the life of a soldier. My PTSD stems from various abuse between the ages of 11 and 20. Not sure if you presumed otherwise -- just don't want you think I was in the military. That's something I could never do.
And situations like that one in Spec Ops are truly a good chunk of why I just.. never could. I can't handle something like that.
But like you said, it is really hard to find a game that treats war as anything other than sheer entertainment; which is a little concerning in itself.
They did a beautiful job with Spec Ops though, it's hard not to get emotionally invested in it.And on the topic of Majora's Mask - I have to agree with what you said there, too. Even the most 'insignificant' NPCs have such detailed back-stories that connect them to the fates of the other NPCs. So many characters' lives intertwine so well with each other. It's amazing.
I absolutely loved the side quest of Kafei and Anju. The whole thing was just so sweet, lol, and it was based on the inn-keeper (Anju, who you might have taken the time to talk to once or twice if not for her side quest) and Kafei, of whom you can't even talk to if you don't do this quest. Yet these two 'minor' characters made the game for me when I was younger. They didn't seem to mind that the moon was going to crush their entire country as they knew it; they just wanted to face death together. <3

this game has a fantastic story, very emotional and the ending will leave you in tears....
I never cried playing a video game like I did with this one...

The 'intro' to 'The Last of Us'. Usually I don't feel anything for a character if I've barely seen any development (this goes for all mediums) but the intro to that really got me.
'Kingdom Hearts' when Sora unlocks his heart and 'dies'.
'Kingdom Hearts 2' when Goofy 'dies'.
'Metal Gear Solid 4' when Snake commits suicide.
'Final Fantasy X' in a few places.

Pretty much whenever I complete a pokemon mystery dungeon game because I get attached to my partner quickly XD
Other games include the usual ones mentioned such as The Walking Dead, The Last of Us, Bird Story and so on.
Oh! The ending of The Witches House got to me and after playing IB several times, a couple endings got me there as well. Shed a few tears, but not full on sobbed or anything.
To The Moon, I cried at... I don't anymore... much.
One isn't necessarily a game per say, more like a click novel thing but it's on steam. It's called the Planetarian ~the reverie of a little planet~ That made me cry a lot. Then again, I expected nothing less when the click novel was made by the same people who made Clannad and Angel Beats and so on. XD
I haven't really played a lot of games that made me cry despite being a crybaby. There are several games I've watched that made me cry so much I didn't want to buy it for the tears (mostly because I doubt I'd be able to see the controls in front of me)
I think the reason why I cry so much with games and stuff that have tear-wrenching moments is because I always end up putting myself in the characters shoes in a 'what if it was me with my friends/family/pet' scenario. I hate myself for it, but I feel like I get closer to the character by doing so...

I read a ton of the reviews on it before buying it on sale for $3. I thought it'd be an emotional journey.
But I saw the end coming from a mile away and that was super disappointing.
I wanted to connect and get emotionally invested in their sad story, but I just couldn't.
I was more upset about losing the hippogriff you rescue from the cage, but he comes back. :c
I don't know if it was more heart-wrenching losing him the first time or the second.

It was the end that did it for me, the journey itself was more interesting and visually pleasing imo. It was really linear, a little more than I anticipated. I loved it anyway.
ugh that feeling it left me with though...
when the older boy gets tricked by that spider girl (which obviously lead to the sad part), that really threw me down for some reason, I guess it was the way the game was playing, it just felt like I could trust her but I got tricked LOL Usually I'm more suspicious but I think it's because she partially helped as others had done before.
I thought it was going to be "boo-hoo we get the medicine to the grandpa too late" not the big bro dies and his spirit helps the little bro get strength to do some growing up and good lord are you trying to kill me what the hell

I had this whole theory that the hippogriff came back as the brother's spirit because earlier on you can clearly see that it died
