Dragon Quest 5, the whole quest is you trying to free your mom. But you need chosen blood or something to wield the sacred sword and armor needed to free her. So you bang a chick that has chosen blood and your son is able to wield the equipment and free your mom.

The whole gimmick is that it's not clear whether we actually are or if we just happened to tick off the initial boxes of the prophecy and thereafter brute forced our way because we gotta make Big U7 look good.

The Witcher. Geralt is certainly special but Ciri is the prophesied/eugenicised "child of destiny" that many events of their plane (and certain events in others) are centered around.

This actually sounds a lot like Linkle. (a girl with crossbows who thinks she is the legendary hero but isn't).

What we know about how the force "works" means that yes, Luke is also a chosen one.

Oblivion
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/6/6ba50fad.jpg

My dreams grant me no opinions of success. Their compass ventures not beyond the doors of death. But in your face, I behold the sun's companion. The dawn of Akatosh's bright glory may banish the coming darkness. With such hope, and with the promise of your aid, my heart must be satisfied.
Martin may be the guy that can wear the amulet of kings, but the player is the one who is prophecied to "close shut the jaws of Oblivion" through their actions.

Vaan and Penelo were added towards the end of development, and it shows.

Japanese media that doesn't have adolescent protags can be a death sentence. Hell, Avengers Endgame underperformed considerably compared to Infinity War at the Japanese box office due to how poorly received Spider-Man getting snapped was.

That was Wind Waker I believe. The thing they do on the Island was a coming of age thing. So every one growing up did the same thing for that Day. Wind Wakers Link just had the bad luck of the events and kidnapping of his sister. So if nothing ever happened he would just live his life normally.

The Spider-Verse movies. In fact, Across the Spider-Verse has it be a plot point that Miles should never have become Spider-Man, that the spider that bit him in Into the Spider-Verse came from another universe as a result of Alchemax's machine and accidentally escaped.

The Spider-Man comics also kept on a similar path with Peter Parker, with him gaining his "great power" by total accident, only for JMS's run to make Peter into a "chosen one" by introducing the concept of "spider-totems" to the series with the character of Ezekiel Sims, the totem-hunter Morlun, and having Peter die at Morlun's hand only to be reborn by a spider-god in The Other. Dan Slott's trilogy of Spider-Verse comic events then went further by introducing Morlun's family (the Inheritors), the Web of Life and Destiny, and the multiversal spider-totems' role of maintaining the Web (and with it, the entire Marvel Multiverse).

Pretty sure Ganondorf straight up says Link is the hero of time reincarnated at one point.

FFX was pretty unique for a videogame story because you're basically the sidekick to the main character.

I thought of mentioning this, but I reasoned that Tidus' existence was a deus ex machina for Yuna to succeed, thus he's indirectly "chosen" himself since he exists for the sole purpose of saving Spira

definitely an unusual case
