A gift from Sarah at the start of The Last of Us, Joel is always found with his broken watch – an item that symbolizes numerous points in his life.
The Last of Us franchise is rife with symbolism. From Ellie’s switchblade in The Last of Us to Dina’s bracelet in The Last of Us 2, numerous items signify the importance of someone or something to their owners. It turns out that no matter the state of the world, human beings can still be materialistic, including Joel.
If you’re like most players of The Last of Us, the tutorial might have thrown you off course a bit; while being thrust into the start of a horrifying outbreak of a deadly fungus is certainly terrifying, the death of Joel’s (Troy Baker) daughter, Sarah (Hana Hayes), is what really hurts. The player is introduced to Joel through Sarah when she gives him an expensive watch for his birthday. Their bond is strong; Joel is a hardworking single parent who still makes time for his daughter, with whom he jokes and laughs with. From the very first moments of the game, the life that Joel and Sarah have built together is, while modest, clearly something they cherish.
Then, of course, it all goes wrong as the world crumbles – horrific newscasts, distant explosions, and the eventual death of Joel’s neighbor after he is infected and Joel is forced to shoot him. From then on, it becomes an escape mission, with Sarah, Joel, and Joel’s brother, Tommy (Jeffrey Pierce), all piling into one truck; the player watches through Sarah as the outbreak takes over. She is made out to be the main character of this game, the one through which the player will experience the world.
Then she dies; it’s a heartbreaking moment that doesn’t seem real at first. It is raw and terrible, and really drives home the reality of the outbreak and what kind of game this is going to be. It also marks the moment that Joel’s world truly shatters… along with his watch. The watch; as the game progresses, it becomes clear that this seemingly innocuous piece of jewelry means more to Joel than he lets on. If players pay attention, they may notice that, in times of stress or high emotion, Joel has a habit of touching the watch, as if grounding himself in its connection to his lost daughter. Even 20 years later, when his life before the outbreak is something of the past, the watch remains.
In part one of Couchsoup’s The Last of Us: Definitive Playthrough, Troy Baker talks about the idea that Joel’s watch broke when Sarah was shot; while the theory was never confirmed officially, many still see the watch as a sort of time capsule for the night everything went wrong.
A Surprise Birthday Gift And An Unlikely Memento
Joel receives the watch from Sarah during the last few minutes of his birthday. Exhausted from the day’s work, Joel collapses into his couch before Sarah presents him with the gift. The watch comes as an obvious shock to Joel. Not only is he surprised that his teenage daughter was able to save up for such an expensive gift, but his work obligations must have caused him to forget his own birthday. With no words to show his appreciation
