{{Translation|'''Dragon Quest III'''|ドラゴンクエストIII そして伝説へ…|''Doragon Kuesuto III: Soshite Densetsu he...'', "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]].     

The flow of the game is as follows;  The hero travels from his home country of [[Aliahan]] for [[Romaria]] to explore the world and acquire three [[key|keys]] needed to open sealed teleportals throughout the game. During the party's travels, they will hear tale of six mystical orbs said to contain incredible power, and that these will be necessary in overcoming the fiend Baramos. After saving a young couple of the town of [[Baharata]] from the rogue [[Robbin' 'Ood]], the hero receives [[Black pepper]], which he trades for a sailing [[ship]] at [[Portoga]]. With this ship, the hero acquires the [[Ultimate Key]] and searches for the six mystical orbs which are used to revive the legendary bird [[Ramia]]. Ramia takes the hero to Baramos' castle, flying over the tall mountains of the Necrogond.  After a ferocious battle, the hero's celebration is cut off as Zoma attacks and opens the pit to the dark world. In the dark world, the hero acquires the [[Sunstone]], the [[Staff of Rain]], and the [[Sacred amulet|Seal of Rubiss]]. These items are then exchanged for the [[Rainbow Drop]]. This item creates a bridge, which leads the hero to [[Zoma]]'s [[Zoma's Citadel|castle]] for the final confrontation. After the archfiend is slain, the king of the dark world will give the highest honor to the player: the title of ''Erdrick''.

*Under certain circumstances, [[Metal slime]] monsters will take 10 points of damage instead of 1 or 2. <!-- Needs confirmation -->

*It is possible to create a party of only deceased characters by exploiting the paralysis status condition. This was first though to be only possible using the [[Dreamstone|Dream Ruby]], but has since been proven possible using [[List of glitches in Dragon Quest III#Numb status glitch|paralysis induced by monsters]]. This glitch allows the manipulation of memory within the game, producing a wide range of effects and possibilities.
