The Hero is the name given to the protagonists from the Dragon Quest franchise.
Origin
In the Hero’s appearances in Smash, there are currently four different protagonists represented:
- The Luminary: The protagonist of Dragon Quest XI, and the basis for their default costume in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
- Erdrick: The protagonist from Dragon Quest III.
- Solo: The protagonist from Dragon Quest IV.
- Eight: The unnamed protagonist from Dragon Quest VIII.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
As a playable character
During the E3 Nintendo Direct the Hero was confirmed to be included into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a DLC Fighter alongside Banjo & Kazooie. The Hero is planned to be released during summer 2019.
Trivia
- Due to Dragon Quest XI being released in July 2017, Hero, namely the Luminary, is the most recently debuted character in the Super Smash Bros. series.
- The Hero is the second playable third-party character owned by Square Enix, the first being Cloud.
- He is the first playable third-party character whose alternate costumes replace his model with a different character.
- While several characters are given generic names (namely, Villager, Pokémon Trainer, and Inkling) because of the ambiguity of their name in their own universe (owing to the fact that the player can decide their name), the Hero instead chooses not to use any given name (despite three of them having official names in Dragon Quest media) and use the generic title of "Hero" instead.
- This makes them the only third party characters with this trait.
