===Relation to the Dragonlord===

The act of the Queen laying her egg before her passing has stuck out to many players as possible foreshadowing to the events of the first game, with many concluding that the egg contains the [[Dragonlord]]. This speculation is based on the following points:

*ROM capacity for the original {{NES}} version meant that every last bit of data had to used efficiently, with literally no room left to spare for unnecessary events. The staff of [[Chunsoft]] would have been fully aware of this during the game's development, as would [[Yuji Horii]], and therefor it can be presumed within reason that the scene is meant to allude to something greater than just a mother continuing her family line before her passing.

:*The [[Emblem of Roto]] manga fully embraces the notion that the Queen is indeed the [[Dragonlord]]'s mother, stating that the child would succumb to darkness without the guidance of his mother during his formative years.

:*The [[Enix]]-published gamebook based on {{Dragon Quest II}} was released after the development of {{III}} and corroborates the connection by having the [[Dragonlord's great-great-grandson]] openly mention the Queen, regarding her fondly as "Hihibaa-san" (ひいひいばあさん).
