The situation became more convoluted with the localization of the [[Cell phone]] port of the third game, in which the Robbin Hood name was shortened to a more cockney-accented ''Robbin' 'Ood''. The reason for this is currently unknown, but it was likely done to fit more with the character's Cockney accent. | The situation became more convoluted with the localization of the [[Cell phone]] port of the third game, in which the Robbin Hood name was shortened to a more cockney-accented ''Robbin' 'Ood''.

Robbin' 'Ood's [[Robbin' 'Ood's Descendant|distant descendant]] appears in the HD-2D Remake of the original title, becoming a highway bandit and scourge of [[Tantegel]]. and fighting [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|Erdrick's descendant]]. He's stolen the [[thief's key]] from the [[Swindler]] at the [[Roadside Inn]] and have fled into his base the [[Craggy Cave]] with his peons. After fighting Erdrick's descendant, he begs for mercy and is willing to give him the key as his and Erdrick's lineage go way back. But first, he asks him for a favor to help one of his Merry Men, who's been cornered by a [[sorcerer]]. He then gives him the thief's key as thanks when the monster is defeated. He speaks in the flowery Elizabethan dialect in this game. | |||

Within the tower, Robbin' attempts to thwart the {{Party 3}} by opening a trap door beneath the group's feet. Upon returning to the previous floor, the {{Hero 3}} finds the enemy has vanished. However, after leaping off the edge where Robbin' had been standing, the {{Hero 3}} finds him several floors below. This results in the first genuine boss fight of the game (assuming the {{Hero 3}} doesn't skip the side quest). After the battle, the {{Hero 3}} acquires the king of Romaria's [[King's crown|crown]] after Robbin' starts begging for his life. | Within the tower, Robbin' attempts to thwart the {{Party 3}} by opening a trap door beneath the group's feet.

The thief's second appearance is in the appropriately named [[Kidnapper's Cave]], about northwest of [[Baharata]]. Robbin' 'Ood and [[Robbin' huddle|his goons]] advance in their criminal careers by kidnapping [[Gopal Gupta]] & [[Tanaya]], holding them for ransom. Upon freeing the young lovers, the {{Hero 3}} is confronted by the would-be kingpin himself, who challenges him to battle. After receiving a second defeat from the {{Party 3}}, the crook pleads for mercy, claiming that he'll change his ways for real. | The thief's second appearance is in the appropriately named [[Kidnapper's Cave]], about northwest of [[Baharata]].
