* BullyingADragon: Gades, of all person, is toyed around by Wain's stupidity. He's not pleased.

The story's is a sequel to the first two games, after the previous two doom island wars. A [[MysteriousWaif traveling fortune teller]], Seena, who's on a "great adventure" to uncover the forgotten legend of the doom island wars, wanders into a town called Patos and bumps into an {{idiot|Hero}} swordsman named Wain. At that moment, the [[JerkassGods Sinistral of Destruction]], Gades, awakens and begins destroying a house in the once sleepy town. After the heroic deed of Wain running into the burning home to rescue a girl trapped inside, Seena finds Wain a worthy fellow and asks him to come along her with on an adventure. And thus begins the story.

While being less popular than its predecessors, ''Lufia: The Legend Returns'' provides unique battle and character skill growth systems as well as RandomlyGeneratedLevels for dungeons. Players are allowed to put up to nine of the 12 different characters on the battlefield all at once. It also has a good and surprisingly extensive soundtrack, colorful Gameboy Color graphics, and a simple yet classic storyline that is also filled with nostalgic elements from previous games, such as the dragon eggs, plus a linear [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon final dungeon]], and every single one of the Sinistrals as bosses to date.
