Here are the Top Seven Sad Moments in Zelda as Picked by a Member of the Community

The Zelda series brings joy into the hearts of many a gamer; any Zelda fan can tell you that. However, Zelda is not without its sad moments in the games. While we tend to focus on the cheery scenes and lovable characters within Hyrule, not all that glitters is gold. Zelda hides some pretty tragic moments within its fun-filled walls. You can hear about seven of them in the video above, which is titled “Top 7 Sad Zelda Moments.” Be warned, as this top 7 countdown does contain spoilers for various titles.

This list comes courtesy of Macintyre, a well-known member of the Zelda community. For the first sad moment, Macintyre brings up the Deku Butler’s son from Majora’s Mask. I won’t spoil what the story is surrounding him, but it’s surprisingly dark for a Zelda game.
