I've checked my FAQs collections and found a game using tides as mechanic. Here's a playthrough video to show what I meant:

At around 9:00 of video, tide is low but at around 11:00 tide is high in the same room allowing party to get items from higher platform.

Breath of Fire 3 has a mini game in which team must race against time to get all treasure in area which will be covered by tide water. It's tide for sure but more like timed mini game to me.
