 {{Translation|'''Dragon Quest III'''|ドラゴンクエストIII そして伝説へ…|''Doragon Kuesuto III: Soshite Densetsu e...'', "And into the Legend..."}}, is the third game in the {{DQSeries}} of role-playing games published by [[Enix]] and released on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Famicom/NES]]. It was later remade and released on the {{Super Famicom}} and [[Game Boy]] Color. The original Famicom version, as well as the Super Famicom remake, were re-released on the Nintendo [[Wii]] in 2011 as part of the ''Dragon Quest'' 25th-Anniversary. A second remake was also made for Japanese mobile phones and later then re-released worldwide for smartphones running Android and iOS. A graphically modified version of this mobile port was released alongside {{DQ11}} for Sony {{PlayStation 4}}, [[Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Nintendo Switch]]. ''Dragon Quest III'' is the third and final game in the [[Erdrick trilogy]].
+On May 27th, 2021 during the ''Dragon Quest'' 35th Anniversary broadcast, ''Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake'' was announced, which will utilize the same graphics engine seen in [[Square Enix]]'s ''Octopath Traveler''. A release date was not announced, but it will be released worldwide simultaneously.

 Like most ''Dragon Quest'' games, ''III'' was renamed in its initial appearance in America to {{Dragon Warrior III}}. The Priest character class was renamed "Pilgrim," while the priests at churches were renamed healers. The churches themselves were referred to as Houses of Healing and had their Christian crosses replaced with six-pointed stars. Finally, dead party members were depicted as ghosts rather than as coffins with crosses on the lid as they were in the Japanese version.
-The Japan-only 1996 remake of ''III'' for the Super Nintendo featured significantly updated graphics and sound quality, a new Thief character class, and an extra dungeon to explore and a [[Xenlon|hidden boss]] to defeat after the credits rolled, the first for a remake.  The {{SNES}} version also included a [[List of personality types in Dragon Quest III|personality system]] for all members of the player's party to influence their statistical growth, adding much more customization to the game.  This personality system would later be adopted by the {{DQMSeries}}, {{DQ10}}, and ''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Parade]]''.

 The 16-bit version of ''III'' also added the board game-like minigame from {{DQ5}}, [[Treasures n' Trapdoors]]. The game was also originally slated to have a collectible [[Mini medal]] side quest, but this was cut due to cartridge space constraints. While later titles in the series would include this quest in their original releases, all remakes of ''Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation'' have included an extensive mini medal quest. The later {{Game Boy Color}} version of the game, which saw release in America in 2001, was based on this version. The {{GBC}} edition would include minor balance tweaks, but is mostly recognized for the inclusion of monster medals--gold, silver, and bronze tokens awarded when a particular monster is the last defeated in battle. They do nothing themselves, but attaining all of them opens yet another bonus dungeon with a superboss to vanquish at the end.
-In 2014, an enhanced port of the {{SNES}} version was brought to Android and iOS mobile phones. It retains most content from the {{SNES}} version and some of the minor balance tweaks from the {{GBC}} release, but removes Treasures n' Trapdoors, the monster medal feature, and its associated dungeon. This version was made available outside of Japan on December 4th, 2014 and featured a newly translated script in-line with the standards set by [[Plus Alpha]] that also does away with the lingering censorship of the {{GBC}} version. This version would later be re-released in Japan for the {{PlayStation 4}} and [[Nintendo 3DS]] on August 24th, 2017.
