Localization historyEdit
In Japanese, there are actually two separate but similar items which the localized English item of "magic Shield" describes:
- The first is マジックシールド majikku shīrudo (i.e. magic Shield), which first appeared in Dragon Quest V and has so far only appeared in that game and its remakes.
- The second is まほうのたて mahō no tate (Japanese for "magic Shield"), which first appeared in Dragon Quest VI before showing up in all main series installments that followed (as well as the remakes of Dragon Quest III), as well as some spin-offs.
