Editing Hero (Dragon Quest IV) (section)

==Trivia==
*In {{V}}, 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 {{IV}} as "the canonical one".
*Similar to [[Erdrick]], any references to the Hero in {{V}} 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 {{SSB5}}, 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 {{Main Series}} series, as both are floating castles.
*The Heroes of {{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 {{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.
