*One reason the town | *One reason the town was given a different name in the NES version is because the localizers may have thought that it would be odd to call it the same name as its castle, as it is entirely separate from the castle on the world map. However, in ''Dragon Quest II'' and ''III'', Tantegel is composed of both combined locations. | ||
*Tantegel is named after the real-life village [[wikipedia:Tintagel|Tintagel]] and the nearby [[wikipedia:Tintagel Castle|Tintagel Castle]] in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. They are associated with the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and have become one of the most visited places in Britain. | *Tantegel is named after the real-life village [[wikipedia:Tintagel|Tintagel]] and the nearby [[wikipedia:Tintagel Castle|Tintagel Castle]] in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

*In all remakes of ''Dragon Quest'', there is a woman in the Town of Tantegel who will remark on the hero's good looks and follow the player around until they enter a new area. Interestingly, if the player lodges at the inn with her in tow, the innkeeper will comment that they got up late. | |||
