One of my fondest memories as a kid was playing the first Dragon Warrior on my NES, heading into the ruined city where my Nintendo Power map told me that one of Erdrick’s legendary items was waiting to boost my stats by some undreamt-of integer value. There were poison tiles, Knight Axes, dragons and Magiwyverns EVERY DAMN STEP… it was NUTS. But what it taught me was a hearty respect for Items.
That respect gushes over at least three panels of this comic.
Items.
