Editing Dragon Quest (section)

==Trivia==
[[File:Dragon Quest jp manual art.png|right|border|325px]]
* Although the [[iron helmet]], [[leather hat]], and helm of [[Ortega]] are featured in official illustrations, there is no equipment slot for helmets.
* In the original versions, there are special menu commands to climb stairs and open chests (done automatically in later games), and in the Japanese version to select directions for certain commands, since characters do not have facings in these versions.
* The Japanese Famicom and MSX versions of this game (and {{DQ2}}) have a [[Spell of Restoration|Spell of Health Multiplication]] (password system), in place of the "Imperial Scrolls of Honor" (battery save system). The password does not save current {{HP}} and {{MP}}, or the contents of the chests. So all of these will be reset on a reload.
* Whether a treasure chest has been opened or not is never recorded.  By reloading the game, you can collect a chest multiple times.
* The [[Game Boy]] Color release changed several character and town names to more closely match the Japanese text.
* A recolor of Erdrick's Sword appears in ''Final Fantasy XII'', named Tournesol and used by the optional boss Gilgamesh.
* The original Dragon Quest logo has been credited by Minecraft logo designer Junkboy as being a major influence behind its design.
