* When you enter level 4-4 in ''VideoGame/{{ULTRAKILL}}'', while you're wondering what the boss of this layer could be, the music starts as a typical droning desert themed piece that you've come to expect in [[ShiftingSandLand this layer]]. [[https://youtu.be/ZFw0n198f4o?si=jBbaa4xR-2OOZwlA Then you hear a very distinct bass riff]]. The last time you heard [[https://youtu.be/BhEnjxYLBYo?si=ZFZiiuQwiTyhq7NM this particular riff]] was when you fought [[MirrorBoss V2]] all the way back in Layer 1, and since [[VillainExitStageLeft he escaped after he lost that fight]], you have a pretty good idea of [[RecurringBoss what's about to happen next.]]

** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', the melody of Midna's theme is a variation on another character's theme that hints at a relation between the two. More specifically, it's [[spoiler:Zelda's theme played in minor key, fitting with how she is a fellow princess and the game's title character.]]

** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', when the melody game's title appears at the end of the opening cutscene, you hear a few notes in the soundtrack that are later revealed to be later Midna's {{leitmotif}}, [[spoiler:hinting at who the "Twilight Princess" ''really'' is]]. Midna's theme is also a variation on another character's theme that hints at a relation between the two. More two; more specifically, it's [[spoiler:Zelda's theme played in minor key, fitting with how she is a fellow princess and the game's title character.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/RazzberryJazzberryJam'': “Disappearing Act” has an extremely odd metatextual version- the Jazzberries hear Tesla’s InUniverse {{Leitmotif}} shortly after each of them notices they’re missing something, which causes them to suspect him as the one behind the disappearances. However, eagle-eyed (owl-eared?) viewers may notice that [[spoiler:the instrument playing the theme in those cases isn’t a theremin, but rather a double bass, cluing them in that RC is the true culprit.]]

Added DiffLines:

** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'', the game's primary villain Agahnim and [[spoiler:the final boss, Ganon]] share a {{leitmotif}}, introduced in this game and reused in many later ones. In all of those later ones it is ''exclusively'' [[spoiler:Ganon's]] theme, so anyone who plays this game after playing those later ones will be clued in to TheReveal that [[spoiler: Agahnim is Ganon in disguise]].
** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'', Shiek's theme weaves in snippets of Zelda's Lullaby [[spoiler:because they're actually Zelda in disguise.]]
** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', the melody of Midna's theme is a variation on another character's theme that hints at a relation between the two. More specifically, it's [[spoiler:Zelda's theme played in minor key, fitting with how she is a fellow princess and the game's title character.]]

EXPERTLY used what a MASTERPIECE oh my LORD


* Absolutely ''expertly'' used in the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "Perchance to Dream", where careful listeners get to notice the theme tune of the villain behind that episode's plot minutes before the reveal. [[spoiler: In the final confrontation at the Bell Tower, where Bruce fights the-Batman-who-isn't-him, the Mad Hatter's theme is being played by brass (instead of the usual flute), instruments usually reserved for our protagonist.]]
** For the curious, the theme of [[spoiler: the Mad Hatter]] can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9fuuaU5IP0 here]], while the theme of that episode's villain can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZFlaUTzhKI&feature=BF&list=PLA83BE3F7E8FD0188&index=61 here]].
