Final Fantasy Adventure

Final Fantasy Adventure (originally released in Japan as Seiken Densetsu: Final Fantasy Gaiden (聖剣伝説 ~ファイナルファンタジー外伝~ Seiken Densetsu ~Fainaru Fantajī Gaiden~?) and later re-released in Europe as Mystic Quest) was the first game to be released in the Mana series. Released in 1991 on the original Game Boy, its gameplay is roughly similar to that of the original Legend of Zelda game, but with the addition of role-playing statistical elements.

The story follows the hero and the young heroine as they attempt to thwart the Dark Lord of Glaive and his sorcerer assistant Julius from destroying the Tree of Mana and dooming their world. The game was met with generally positive reviews, noting its strong story but faulting its shaky dialogue, possibly due to the English translation.
