* [[Exposition Fairy|Midna]] sheds a single tear at the end of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'', when {{spoiler|she must leave Hyrule.}} Interestingly, {{spoiler|after Midna materializes through the portal, the tear itself breaks the Mirror of Twilight, [[Tear Jerker|severing the only known bridge between the Light World and the Twilight Realm.]]}}

* From ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep]]'', Terra {{spoiler|when Master Eraqus dies}} and Aqua {{spoiler|during the [[Say My Name]] segment of the secret ending.}} Quite the [[Tear Jerker]] in both cases, although the latter example is more hopeful. Also Sora {{spoiler|once he starts feeling Ventus' heart and taking it in, and thus starts feeling by magic heart-to-heart empathy what any sane person would feel after [[Tear Jerker|that ending]].}} Notably, since Sora's feeling it by proxy, ''he doesn't even know why he's letting out that single tear''.
* From ''[[Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days
* From ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]] Final Mix+'', {{spoiler|after Sora fights Roxas and beats him,}} an extra cutscene not found in [[Kingdom Hearts II]] initiates, with {{spoiler|Roxas and Axel on the clocktower in Twilight Town. At the end of the cutscene, Roxas says he has to go back to Sora, Axel and Roxas say their goodbyes, and a single teardrop is shown falling and disappearing. There was no indication of the person who cried, whether Roxas cried again, or if Axel, also a Nobody, is the one who cried.}}
* In ''[[King's Quest VI Heir Today Gone Tomorrow]]'', if you challenge [[Chess with Death|the Lord of the Dead]] for the sake of two mortal souls, he defies you to make him cry. You can do so by showing him the mirror of truth, which recants his terrible history, to the point that the mirror itself shatters from the strain- and Death cries a single tear.
* In Mother 3', the {{spoiler|Mecha-}}Drago cries a single tear right before {{spoiler|he dies of his injuries given to him by Flint}}.

* [[Weebl and Bob|Weebls-Stuff]]: [http://www.weebls-stuff.com/songs/Flying+Squirrels/ Eagles are proud to fly with squirrels.]

** Happens again when Leela gets plastic surgery to make it look like she has two eyes. Upon looking into a mirror and realizing that she looks normal, she sheds a single tear. The surgeon exclaims "Woops! Looks like we got some leakage. Let me just cauterize that for you." Cue a painful scream from Leela.
