Ys III: Wanderers from Ys for the Super Nintendo (SNES), released in 1991, is an action-RPG that shifts the series to a side-scrolling, 2D platformer format similar to Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Developed for the SNES by Advance Communication Company, it focuses on linear, hack-and-slash gameplay as red-haired protagonist Adol Christin, aided by Dogi, fights to save the land of Felghana.
