Game Description

The once-great land of Ys was home to vast knowledge, great wealth, and widespread fortune. The land's prosperity was driven by the Dark Pearl, a magical object capable of creating valuable objects and performing wondrous feats. But the Dark Pearl's powers had a shadow side, one that ultimately brought down the great civilization. Now a curious youth named Adol has set sail for a mysterious island where his destiny stands to meet the Legacy of Ys. The Legacy of Ys Books 1 & 2 combines two classic RPG sagas on one DS cartridge, brought to life with new Touch Screen controls, new equipment and enemies, new multiplayer options, and more.
