==Localization history== | |||
The name zap was first used as the term for the weakest lightning spell in the [[NES]] localization of the third game, and this was carried forward into the modern period by Square-enix's new editorial standards beginning with Dragon Quest VIII. A discrepancy has emerged between the English and Japanese versions as early as Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker, however. This is due to the introduction of a new spell, ''Dein'', being introduced as an earlier and weaker lightning spell whose nomenclature is the diminutive form of ''Raidein'', which zap had previously represented overseas. Because the English word zap cannot be simplified further as it's Japanese counterpart was, the localization team instead redubbed ''Raidein'' as [[Zapple]] to reflect it's new status as the mid-tier lightning spell. | |||
In localizations of older titles, such as the [[Nintendo DS]] release of the entire [[Zenithia trilogy]], zap was retained as the English equivalent to raidein. | |||
