==Use of Erdrick in '']''== |
|
|
|
|
|
In '']'', Erdrick was the ancestor of the hero. The hero follows in the footsteps of Erdrick to ultimately reach ] and confront the ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
In '']'', the heroes are descendants of Erdrick, and also of the hero from Dragon Warrior. |
|
|
|
|
|
In '']'', the ] of the hero Erdrick are revealed; therefore, the ] of the first three games is III, I, II. |
|

|
==Alternate Names for the Same Legendary Hero== |
|
|
|
|
|
The hero, originally known as Erdrick to many North Americans, is also known by two other names: Roto and Loto. |
|
|
|
|
|
===Roto=== |
|
|
In the original ] games ('']''), Erdrick is known exclusively by the name '''Roto''', which is also used by some ] ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
===Loto=== |
|
|
Another ] of the name is '''Loto''', which was used in place of Erdrick when ] re-released Dragon Warrior I, II, and III on the ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
==Title or Name?== |
|
|
|
|
|
In ''Dragon Warrior III'', the hero, who may be either male or female, departs from ] in order to follow in the footsteps of the brave warrior ], the hero's father, by defeating the ] ]. After accomplishing that, the hero returns victorious to Aliahan only to be confronted by a new nemesis, ]. Taking up a new quest to defeat Zoma, the hero travels through the ] to Alefgard, which is sealed in darkness. |
|
|
|
|
|
At the end of ''Dragon Warrior III'', the King of Alefgard bestows upon the hero “the Order of Erdrick”, the country’s highest honor reserved only for true heroes. While this implies Erdrick is merely a title, it is possible to name the hero Erdrick at the beginning of ''Dragon Warrior III'', although an extra character is required after the “k”, such as an extra space, to prevent the game dialogue from displaying an ''enter your real name'' type of message. |
