You must seek out the Stones of Sunlight and the Staff of Rain so you can create a Rainbow Bridge leading to Zoma's Castle. To do so, you must travel the land, visiting places like Kol, Hauksness, and Rimuldar. And so begins the the legend that was introduced in the original Dragon Warrior. While its character development is almost nil and the graphics and sound are only average for a NES game, Dragon Warrior III still told an interesting story and was quite successful for its time. Even today, its rarity makes it highly desirable to game collectors.
Many RPG fans look back upon it as a solid entry in a well-respected series.
