What game or scene in a game took you the longest time before you understood the meaning behind it? (alien.top)

When I was young and had a super nintendo I loved playing Super Mario RPG.

I'm playing the remake and I'm at the scene after defeating Valentina. Mallow goes into the castle and Mario was left standing outside.

Back then I didn't know why Mario pulled out an umbrella and it rained. I just realised after 20 years of playing the original that Mario knew it was going to rain because whenever Mallow cries it rains; Mario knew that Mallow would get all emotional when meeting his parents for the first time.

Blew my mind.

When I first played Ocarina of Time at the age of 8, I completely misinterpreted a scene which is supposed to be a big reveal near the end of the game.

When Sheik invites you to the Temple of Time and says that someone is waiting for you there, my interpretation of the scene that unfolded was: Sheik is standing in front of you, essentially says "my task is done", disappears in typical fashion using a deku nut flashbang or something of the sort, then Zelda enters the room.

It wasn't until I played Super Smash Bros Melee and began to read discussions about it online years later that I was like "oh..."

But, Sheik is Zelda, it's constantly referenced every time sheik is present in anything besides oot. So wym?
