Torneko no Daibōken: Fushigi no Dungeon

Swords are a recurring type of weapon, appearing in every installment of the Dragon Quest franchise. This weapon is favored by Heroes, Warriors, Gladiators, Armamentalists, etc., and is favored by many enemies such as the legendary Estark. Swords are also favored for their effectivness against members of the Dragon family, with all swords after the ninth game dealing 10% more damage and specialty blades such as the Dragonsbane dealing even more.

Since swords are often associated with legendary heroes, there are many notable swords in the series such as Erdrick's sword, Zenithian Sword, Falcon blade, and the Hypernova sword.
