There is a miniscule (0.014%) chance for the very first enemies in the game to drop an extremely powerful item that normally isn’t available until much later. Getting it early is absolutely wild because one of its effects is doubling stat gains when leveling up, which can quickly snowball your characters into godhood.
Forza Horizon 5. The game literally throws hypercars at you within the first few minutes. It’s fun, although many people complain that it ruins the sense of progression (nevertheless the game has hundreds of cars, unlocking them all would take forever).
My third or so wheel spin got me the Lambo Forza Edition that comes with some massive XP boost for when driving around
Even though I liked driving my other cars around the fact that they couldn’t go half as fast or earn the XP nearly as quickly made me use almost exclusively that for the open world bits. Felt too wrong not to unless I was specifically going off road or something

Bit of an obscure one, but Fire Emblem Gaiden.

Now THIS is the first actual example of an early/tutorial enemy dropping a ‘rare’ item.
