History Main / ItemGet

* ''TheLegendOfZelda'' series is probably the UrExample of this trope, so much as to [[LampshadeHanging hang a lampshade]] on it in ''[[TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast A Link to the Past]]'' and earn a ShoutOut in the ''HomestarRunner'' game ''Thy Dungeonman'': every time Link obtains a new weapon or item, he holds it over his head as a brief fanfare plays. Plot-relevant items get a more dramatic fanfare (and typically restore Link to full HP; hoisting divine relics can probably do that to a person).

* Link's stock Item Get pose was actually parodied, multiple times, in ''TheLegendOfZelda: Phantom Hourglass''. At one point, Link opens a treasure chest and instantly strikes the pose, only to discover that he's triumphantly grabbed ... nothing at all. Several minutes later, Link finds the aforementioned missing item after being shaken around to the point of dizzyness. When he held up the item, it teetered all over the place, and the fanfare was off-key. And then again when Link opens a Rupoor chest, resulting in a minor key fanfare and a look of dread on Link's face, as Rupoors are [[PoisonMushroom bad]]. And when he presents an item he's carrying to an NPC, he does his dramatic pose, complete with fanfare, to show it off - but the fanfare is cut off as the NPC snatches it away quickly.

* In the ''FinalFantasyVII'' prequel ''CrisisCore'', Zack Fair does a item holding pose -- complete with glowing rays and triumphant tone-- after he [[strike:molests]]... er, ''searches'' the Magic Pot in one of his Chocobo Mode summons.

** And '''[[WallBanger dubbed into English]]''' in MegaManX 8.

** Somewhat justified considering the requirements for the Power Cells are, as Daxter lampshades, rediculous, contrived and difficult at times.

* ''GoldenSun'' has Isaac/Jenna/Felix pull Link's pose whenever they obtain an item or when they get a new Djinn, arms above their head. It'll have to be seen whether Matthew will do it as well in "Dark Dawn".

** He's not amazed by the song-he's amazed that learning that song [[DistractedByTheShiny makes his ocarina sparkle.]]

** In ''Link's Awakening'', there is one point where you get Marin to briefly join you. This does usually come with fanfare in RPGs, but it's usually only accompanied by a brief message saying "[name] joined your party." But no, this is a Zelda game. Link does the usual Item Get pose, complete with fanfare, as he holds Marin over his head. A pity the gameboy graphics were too primitive to show Marin's reaction to being treated like this...

* The Zelda version was parodied in episode 27 of ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series}}'': Joey [[strike:hums]] nyehs the "treasure chest opening" musical cue, then the "item discovered" sound cue as he holds the Duel Disk over his head. Yugi says, "Looks like Joey found a Duel Disk!"

* From the beginning, the ''MegaMan'' series has rewarded the eponymous Blue Bomber with a new weapon for every boss defeated, but starting with the second game, you were actually ''told'' what weapon you'd just earned in a brief cutscene, complete with a little animation of Megaman turning the appropriate color. Later games also have Megaman demonstrate the weapon's use.

** In ''Megaman X6'', the weapon demonstration cutscenes include the hilarious Engrish phrase "Weapon Get!".
