The Roto Trilogy is the name of 3-related role-playing games by Enix in the Dragon Quest video game series. In earlier English localizations, Roto was named Erdrick.
Dragon Quest is the first game of the Roto Trilogy. It takes place many years after Roto's death. The main character of Dragon Quest is the descendant of Roto, the legendary hero.
Dragon Quest II is the second game of the Roto Trilogy. It takes place after Dragon Quest. The main characters of Dragon Quest II are decended from the hero of Dragon Quest and the princess he saves during his adventure.
Dragon Quest III is the third game of the Roto Trilogy. Unlike the others, this game's relation to the Roto Trilogy is kept a secret until the very end of the game. The hero of Dragon Quest III starts in a different universe, but, after vanquishing a great evil, is teleported to the universe of Dragon Quest I and Dragon Quest II to defeat the source of the evil. In doing so, he inadvertently destroys the link between his home universe and Dragon Quest's universe.
At the end of Dragon Quest III, the king bestows upon the hero the title Roto, or "Legendary Hero." So, at the end of the game, during the credits, you learn that Dragon Quest III 's hero is actually the person whom the other two games' heros are decended from. Dragon Quest III is a prequel to the other 2 games, a technique Yuji Horii would later use in Dragon Quest VI.
