History LoveAtFirstSight / VideoGames

* VideoGame/{{Guenevere}}: Examined, as this is fertile ground for ChivalricRomance:

* In the ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' franchise, this is implied to be a recurring thing between the various incarnations of Link and Zelda. One moment that stands out is early in ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors''; Zelda is walking along the battlements while Hyrulean soldiers-in-training are sparring. Link happens to look up as she's looking down. Nothing is said; nothing needs to be.

* In ''VideoGame/FableI'', having a high enough attractiveness and a [[HundredPercentAdorationRating good enough reputation]] means that the Hero can't walk down the street without a few nearby men and women hopefully saying, "A wedding ring would be nice..."

* ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrangeBeforeTheStorm'': The morning after Rachel and Chloe meet at the Mill, Rachel drags Chloe into Drama club to give her opinion on the supposed LoveAtFirstSight between Miranda and Ferdinand in ''Theatre/TheTempest''. Subtext makes it clear that she's also talking about herself and Chloe. Chloe can either dismiss it as stupid kids who don't know any better or something real. Of course, [[ManipulativeBitch since it's Rachel]], it's hard to say if she actually believes it or is just trying to manipulate Chloe. For what it's worth, with high enough RelationshipValues Rachel spends pretty much the entire rest of the game trying to prove that her love for Chloe is real.

* Naked Snake and Ocelot in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'', according to WordOfGod, fell in 'a pure love' from the moment they first saw each other. Unusually for this trope, while they maintain undeniably strong feelings for each other ever after, Ocelot even being revealed to have [[ThePowerOfLove dedicated his entire life to Snake]] in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4'', they are not the OfficialCouple and are demonstratively pretty bad for each other.
* ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2'' has Neeshka, who starts acting rather possessive towards the player almost immediately after he rescues her ([[FanPreferredCouple except that the conclusion]] [[ExecutiveMeddling to that story was cut]]). The two romances that stayed in the game are much more realistically played, due to both of the non-player partners being quite shy.
** Though Neeshka admits later on that the player was the first person to be nice to her. It's understandable that she'd latch on to him.

* Entirely possible in ''VideoGame/TheSims 2'' if you have the Seasons expansion and earn the Wishing Well reward. If a sim successfully wishes for "true love", another sim (usually a Townie or another playable) with the most compatible traits and personality emerges from the well and greets them for a kiss, which automatically boosts their relationship to 70/70 and raises the "in love" flags.
* Downplayed in ''VideoGame/TheSims 3''. Highly compatible sims will not fall in love just by meeting each other, but will express a strong interest in each other to indicate that they can make a very good couple. The player has the option of playing it straight by romancing and starting a relationship on the spot though.

* Averted in ''VideoGame/{{Magiulovestruckm}}'', as while Barry is physically attracted by Rose at first sight, choosing to have him declare love for her in chapter 6 will [[RealityEnsues result in her not taking you seriously, since you've only just met]]. Even if you just decide to tell her that Barry was stunned by her beauty, he makes it clear that he doesn't plan on starting a relationship before taking the time to know her. Rose herself will only start to have some feelings for Barry after witnessing him take on Tyrath.

* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestV'': If the Hero chooses to marry Debora Briscoletti, she reveals -during a Party Chat shortly before challenging the final boss- she fell for him right when she met him.
