Link's Awakening ending was good though
Maybe because it wasn't your dream it was someone else's

Becoming a slug or a creep.

I don't think it would be such a bad idea for a scenario where everything you ever loved had been taken from you and you think you're at the pinnacle of despair but you get to wake up and realise everything is ok.
Maybe the sense of relief would override the cheapness the 'it was all a dream' feeling leaves you with.

>it was all a dream
>but that dream's natives brainwashed you into thinking you were one of them
>but they also brainwashed you into thinking an old man was your grandpa, just so he would be killed and you would have a reason to save their world
>but you don't just wake up after everything happens
>you're literally removed from the dream by a vortex, while the dream world resets itself, because you don't belong there
>also your "best friend" knew everything from the start
Wahoo.

This.
When it's someone else's dream/nightmare it becomes a lot more interesting for the protagonist.

That would be even worse, it'd feel like the cop out deus ex machina to end all cop outs.

But maybe the dream was a vision of what was going to happen, the first half of the game could be spent in total despair and the second half could be spent destroying and protecting.

Yes, there is

This one is worse because people act like this is a good plot twist. The "it was all a dream" ending is a cliché and everyone knows it.
Caleb Reyes
Maybe it was a dream
Robert Brooks
What's wrong with it though
'It was just a dream' is shit because it means your actions have absolutely no consequences and everything within the story didn't matter
Colton Peterson
name one game that does this and isn't kotor

Also Link's Awakening gave info during the whole adventure that the world was a dream, but for Link was real as his other adventures.

The antagonist is trying to save his world. By killing him, you doomed his world to extinction.
Not that they didn't deserve it (they totally did), and it also gets nicely solved in the end anyway (the antagonist becomes the item that saves his world).
Another example (maybe) is in Tales of Radiant Mythology 1. There are people called Guardians (or something I forgot) that oversee the growth of their world. The antagonist is a Guardian of a world that couldn't sustain itself - everything that grew there quickly died, for the lack of mana. He became mad with despair and devised a plan to "reset" the mana distribution between all the world.
He actually succeeds in the end, although you still had to kill him. He even screams "My...world!" when he dies.

Why is that?
Adam Moore
I hate endings that "undo" everything, specially memories and character development.
Unless its a very well crafted story based on time travel from the beginning, any for of reset is cheap and shitty.
