==Study the map well==
Although you see only a small portion of the land as you travel, the Kingdom itself is a sprawling place.  Broken by mountain ranges and split by the sea, Alefgard is not easily crossed.  Each town is an island of humanity where you can restore your HP and buy needed supplies.  But the wild forests, deserts and swamps are always near at hand.  You do not defeat the land, you merely deal with it.  Aided by this map, you should be able to begin planning your journeys.  In time, even the most distant points will be as familiar to you as the hilt of your sword or the ugly face of a Drakee.  Remember to write down the secrets you discover as you progress.


==Begin by entering your name==
The walkthrough that follows presents the chapter-by-chapter story of Dragon Warrior.  The game itself is quite simple however; once you are familiar with the gameplay very little needs be known to win the game.
Start your adventure by selecting the "Begin A New Quest" optionNext, choose the Adventure Log it will be stored in. There are three Adventure Logs, so three Warriors can store their quests in the Game Pak. After this, enter the name by which you will be known in Alefgard by moving the cursor over the letter chart.
