After Beating A Game...
Superchop:
Lol OoT was a game that I got so attached too that I ended up doing multiple runs. Then again back in the day games were few and far between so I had to make the most of what I had. 1 100% run, a run with no gold skulltula coins or heart pieces...or just tried to finish off ganon any way I could. Deku nuts were the most interesting since I didn't realize it'd cause him damage lol.
As for other games...theres been only one so far that I can remember that left me feeling unsatisfied. Ffxiii-2. I enjoyed the game and 1000/1000 it but it felt so unsatisfying...I know I ended up playing another rpg to try to fill the void but I cant remember what it was

I felt more empty after OOT when I beat the final boss, It was kinda lame and way to easy, Like most of the bosses.
It did feel weird being done with the game after spending hours running around in the world. I bet the feeling will be worse in MM, that game has such a great fleshed out world. If you play it, I suggest spending a good chunk of time in the main town when you start, living through the 3 days a couple of time.

Majora's Mask mostly just stressed me out :( The anxiety it caused for me, knowing that I had a very small window of time in which to complete a set of tasks, really sucked a lot of the joy out of the game for me. Zelda has always been about exploration and freedom. I like the long stretches of overworld exploration and treasure hunting juxtaposed with the intense puzzle solving and battles of the underworld dungeons. In both instances I am able to take my time and enjoy the scenery (at least most of the time). I felt as though I had to rush through MM, and as a result, I have very little recollection of what the game even looks like or the bosses I battled, or what I did to progress from one situation to the next, etc. I would have loved it so much more had it not been for that whole impending doom thing :(
Anyway, after a long, epic game, I tend to play something short and sweet. Portal 2 was the last game that I can recall which left me with that "aw, it's over?" Feeling. I played Beautiful Katamari afterwards :D

Most recently that would be The Last of Us, and before that Far Cry 3. Over the 20 years, that have been a few games that have had that impact on me. As a kid that would have been Castle of Illusion and Power Rangers The Movie.
Moving on to the PS1, N64, and Gameboy era, that would have been Final Fantasy VII, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Oddworld Abes Oddyssey, Oddworld Abes Exodus, Metal Gear Solid, and Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow. Tombi would have been another one I suppose. I only got Tombi last year, however I got a demo of Tombi years ago, and I must of played through the entire demo 4 or 5 times. I loved that demo and knew I had to get it.
During the PS2, GC, and Xbox era it would have been Shadow of the Colossus, Final Fantasy X, Halo 2, Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Metroid Fusion, The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap, and Dynasty Warriors 3. I'm sure there were a few others, but I can't think if them off of the top of my head. Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes was a big one as well. I played that game through every mode, got every dog tag, beat it 10 or more times. Its the one game I have never got bored of.
For generation 7 consoles, it would have been Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core, The Last of Us, Far Cry 3, Journey, Alan Wake, The Walking Dead, The Elders Scrolls V: Skyrim, Metal Gear Solid IV: Guns of the Patriots, Portal 2, and Castlevania Order of Ecclesia. There's probably a few more that I'm not thinking of, but there you have it.
For generation 8 thus far, there's been nothing.

Shadow of the Colossus, hands down! Nuff said..... ;)
