Erdrick

Erdrick (Loto in the GBC translations, Roto in the original Japanese.)  is the title bestowed on the hero of Dragon Quest III after slaying Zoma. This moniker is used to refer to the hero of Dragon Quest III throughout Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest II. This title serves as a major connecting point between Dragon Quest III and Dragon Quest I and II (along with Alefgard). As a result, the first 3 games in the Dragon Quest series are often referred to as the Roto's Trilogy

Trivia

• In the DS remake of Dragon Quest V, if the player names their character Madason then their father, who usually recommends that name, will make Erdrick his suggestion instead.
• In the United States Erdrick was referenced in the original NES Final Fantasy, where one of the tombstones in Elfland says, "Here lies Erdrick."
