This might be a hard game for me looking back on BotW....
I was playing BotW when my wife was pregnant with our first son. It was fun. She'd watch and we'd chat about the future. But I had to stop somewhat after his birth then we had the nightmare the followed with him getting sick and passing. Some weeks after his funeral, I finally picked up the controller again and finished it off. I still felt hollow but it was a good distraction. When it was done, we both just kinda sat there for a moment. She cried some. We have two more boys since then, which does seem to dull the edge but its not gone. I dunno, I always associate certain games with times in my life and that one bridge some really good times to my absolute low as a human being.
Ocarina of time was college and that carefree wonderment. WoW was finding my place in my 20's. Even now Elden Ring was the first game I let my four year watch sometimes (dad of the year here...) but he got into watching me take on the bad guys but he got scared shitless by the draconic tree sentinel.
To this day, my wife cannot watch any of the Back to the Future movies because that is what she watched during labor of our first and it brings back a lot of emotions. I wonder how I'll feel when I get this....
