Hero (Dragon Quest IV): Difference between revisions

The Hero of ''IV'', under the name Solo, appears as one of four {{Hero Smash}}es, alongside the Heroes of ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|XI]]'', ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|III]]'', and ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|VIII]]''. He wields the {{Zenithian helm}}, the {{Zenithian sword}}, and the {{Zenithian shield}}. Just like in his post-[[Famicom]] era artwork, he is also seen wearing a [[Slime earrings|Slime earring]] on his left ear. While playing as the Hero in Classic Mode, Solo appears as Round 3's opponent and is fought at Temple.

* In {{DQ5}}, the Hero is primarily remembered for vanquishing Estark rather than Psaro or Aamon. This may be to avoid establishing either of the two possible endings of {{DQ4}} as "the canonical one".

* Similar to [[Erdrick]], any references to the Hero in {{DQ5}} are gender-neutral.

* Both of the Hero's voice actors have provided the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog. Jun'ichi Kanemaru started voicing the character in 1998, beginning with ''Sonic Adventure'', while Takeshi Kusao voiced the character in various arcade games in 1993 through 1996.

* In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], Round 3 of the Hero's Classic Mode route is against the Hero from ''IV'', fought on Temple. This may be a reference to Zenithia, an important location in the ''Dragon Quest'' series, as both are floating castles.

*The Heroes of [[Dragon Quest IV]] are seen wearing the [[Slime earrings]] in their artwork starting with the [[Playstation]] remake of IV. Depending on the artist, the male hero either wears the earrings in both ears or only one of them. Despite this, the slime earrings themselves don't actually appear as an accessory in any version of Dragon Quest IV. They also do not wear this accessory in any of their [[Famicom]] era artwork, presumably because the accessory itself didn't exist at that time.
