The Saddest Nintendo Origin Stories

On the more tragic villain side, the Three Mage Sisters suffered arguably the most tragic backstories in the Kirby series. All three of them started out as normal girls, environmental disasters struck, one suffocated by fire, one trapped in a blizzard, and one… after everything she held dear died… rather than living on a survivor’s guilt… she desperately climbed a tower to allow lightning to take her life… attempted suicide. All 3 girls at the brink of death, but hope was not lost. Hyness granted them the powers of the very elements that nearly ended their lives. Since then, they followed Hyness humbly. The future seemed brighter for these girls and the benevolent priest… until… sometime after resolving a galactic crisis, Hyness came into contact with the Jamba Heart, the essence of the god of darkness, Void Termina. Hyness’s very being turned twisted and corrupted to the point of insanity. Because of this, Hyness spread the dark influence upon his 3 disciples and soon began to perform unholy rituals to awaken the Void. The Ancients, fearing of their wrongdoings and power, intervened and stopped Hyness before the rituals can be completed. Instead of execution, they were to be spared and sealed away until the time will come for one to purify their souls. At a cost, any and all memory of them were erased. Eons have passed… Their time had come… Hyness attempted to perform the rituals again, but the ritual went awry when the Jamba Heart shattered. Its pieces scattered across the universe. Kirby, given the power of the Friend Heart, is able to triumphantly overpower the twisted beings of the Sisters and Hyness, and defeated Void Termina once and for all. But the Void’s hold Hyness and the Mage Sisters didn’t end. The Sisters, now fully succumbed to Void’s influence, are bent on the deaths of Kirby and his allies. After a fierce battle, Kirby is triumphant, and by kindness, uses his full-powered Friend Heart, and at long last, purified the Three Mage Sisters and Hyness. Their wrongs now amended, Hyness and the Mage Sisters have settled to redeemed lives. Near-death from exposure, corrupted to commit sins, sealed away for eons beyond counting, released under evil’s grip, succumbed to pure darkness, until at last in the blink of an eye, their very souls embraced the righteous light for the first time in uncounted millennia. I cannot tell if their backstories come even close to tragedy…

Rosalina's storybook was one of the saddest things I've ever seen in a video game

What about Link? He lost his parents to the Hylian Civil War in The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time. His mother, fatally injured, took him to the Kokiri Forest entrusted the Deku Tree to take care of him.

Lucas’ end story is even more tragic after pulling the last needle, cause once that seventh needle is pulled, all of Armageddon just rains Hell on Earth, basically destroying all life in a terrifying blaze. With no extra sequel to the mother series and we’re just left with “End?”

Rosalina became their mother so would not be motherless. Thats the sweetest thing i heard😭

Those Lumas literally snatched themselves a mom (permanently) by taking a clueless girl to go with them. 😂

The fact that Lucas could’ve simply stopped Claus but let him go avenge his mom anyways makes it even harder for him. And seeing how the world he once knew and loved was being turned into some dystopian nightmare must’ve been pretty rough for him as well. And on top of that Lucas couldn’t spend much time with his dad Flint until Lucas started his big adventure.

"it's enough to make a grown man cry, and that's ok"

That Rosalina one almost Made me sad😢😭

That actually got me tearing up for a bit. Also, the mewtwo one got me to remember “The Ultimate Enemy Episode” from Danny Phantom a little bit. Nice video.

Lucas’s story was also sad 😢😢😢

6:18 I didn’t see this part in the original movie but I saw the Netflix version of it and it was good. His backstory was bad, MewTwo had it rough.

I noticed in the fire emblem series that they like to kill the main character's parents as well

People seem to be forgetting that in a link to the past links only family memeber bled out in front of him and was responsible for saving the world

I’m surprised Edelgard from Fire Emblem 3 houses isn’t here, the girl literally saw all her siblings die from horrible experiments, and she barely survived herself. She got mutilated and because of those events got her lifespan incredibly shortened. Idk to me that sounds like an even more hardcore version of what Mewtwo experienced.

How do you guys find these theories you are amazing!

Perry from Super Princess Peach: AM I A JOKE TO YOU!?!

The absolute saddest origin story of any Nintendo game is rosalina

We all talk about how much pain Fox lived… but we never mention my boy, Falco, while his life wasn’t very better! His home planet, Zoness, got severely polluted by Andross and his army. While we never learn what happened to his parents, it’s likely his mother and/or his father died protecting their little bird… their son. Later, he leaded a team, including his girlfriend of the time, Katt. But later, Falco broke up with her and left the team, because he had enough to always have to save her. (At the same time, she sometimes gets abducted on purpose just so Falco can rescue her.) He then joined the Team Star Fox and one day… he returned on Zoness with his friends during the Lylat Wars, and saw the results of what Andross has done. Falco was shocked, disgusted and extremely sad to see the planet’s state. While he tempered normally in the rest of the mission, seeing Zoness in this horrific state certainly gave Falco an emotional scar in his heart… (I’ll be honest, I thought he was about to cry.) as someone who cares deeply about the environment, I understand Falco perfectly. I still feel this emotional pain... This is horrible. The very reason why he never talks about his family is because… He actually sees the Team Star Fox as his family… but why?
