 The '''Hero''' of {{DQ3}} is a fabled, Legendary Hero from the days of lore and the ancient history of [[Alefgard]]. Though only appearing in one game, the legacy of The Hero would live on in the "[[Erdrick Trilogy]]", so named for the [[Erdrick|title]] bestowed upon them and carried forth by their descendants.
-In {{SSB5}}, The Hero of ''Dragon Quest III'' is playable as an alternate costume for [[Hero (Super Smash Bros.)|the game's version of the Hero]], alongside [[Luminary (Dragon Quest XI)|the Luminary]] and The Heroes of ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Dragon Quest IV]]'' and ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|VIII]]''. This Hero has been given the default name '''Arusu''' in order to differentiate him from the other three Heroes appearing in the game.

 ====Equipment====
-The Hero has access to a very wide range of both weapons, ranging from swords, spears, axes, as well as whips and boomerangs in the remakes. They are capable of being outfitted with the heaviest armour, shields, and helmets available. Erdrick is also the only character capable of using the legendary equipment, which will prove useful when fighting against [[Zoma]]. In the remake versions, The Hero begins his journey equipped with a [[Copper sword]] and [[Wayfarer's clothes]].

 *The Hero shares his voice actor in the audio drama with Android 16 from Akira Toriyama's ''Dragon Ball'' series. He also shares his voice with Marth from the ''Fire Emblem'' and ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. [[Hikaru Midorikawa]] also voiced the character Derolin in the original ''[[Dai no Daibouken]]'' anime, a false hero who dresses almost identically to the male Hero a few years prior to the CD drama.
 ** In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', he shares his voice actor, [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0387033/ Nobuyuki Hiyama], with Barry Kahn from ''Dragon Ball Super'' as well as the adult incarnation of Link from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'' (and, by extension, Link's appearances in the first two ''Super Smash Bros.'' games). ''Super Smash Bros.'' series creator Masahiro Sakurai also noted that Hiyama's performance may be recognized as Guy Shishioh from ''The King of Braves GaoGaiGar'', and that his recording sessions for ''Ultimate'' as ''DQ III's'' Hero were surprisingly quick and easy, thanks to his extensive prior experience in video game voice-acting.
+*The name Arusu (アルス) has appeared various times throughout the series history. It appeared as a default name for the Hero in official screenshots for the Super Famicom version of ''Dragon Quest III''. It is also the name of the main character from [[The Emblem of Roto]] manga first released in 1991. Arusu has been the default name for the {{Hero 7}} of ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]'' in both the official manga adaptation and in various screenshots for the game. Lastly, in the CG movie ''[[Dragon Quest: Your Story]]'', the [[Hero's son]] was named Alus.
