Dragon Warrior is set in a classic medieval fantasy world filled with strange monsters, armor and equipment to find and purchase, and magic spells to learn. The player controls an heir to a brave warrior, Erdrick, who defeated an evil in days gone by. He is given the task of recovering a stolen "ball of light", rescuing the king's daughter, and defeating the Dragon-lord.

Enix Corporation (Enix) created the original Dragon Quest and Enix America Corporation released the series as Dragon Warrior in the United States. The Nintendo port was slightly modified to remove swear words and some dialog with sexual connotations. Enix America had to change the name to "Dragon Warrior" because Tactical Studies Rules (TSR), the maker of Dungeons & Dragons, already bought the name of "Dragon Quest."

On October 8, 2003, Square Enix USA registered a trademark in the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the name "Dragon Quest" (Serial Number 78310830) to be used in video game software, video game strategy guidebooks, comics, toys, and other merchandise. This could be the signal of the end of the "Dragon Warrior" name in North America.

Note: The Dragon Quest series is so popular in Japan that a law was passed forbidding the release of a new game on any day other than a Sunday or a holiday.
