Cool

The critical on a HS125 for example is the downwind engine.

The 125 experiences 'negative weathercock' in that it will weathercock away from the crosswind thus any failure of the downwind engine during T/O will have the yaw enhanced by the crosswind.

On most aircraft then I guess the upwind engine(s) is the critical one.
