About the Game:
The franchise's first two games follow Adol Christin on his first adventure as he wakes up in the land of Esteria following a shipwreck. Adol must seek out the six Books of Ys and prevent a calamitous event at the hands of dark creatures and wizards alike. While they are separate games, Ys II takes place mere moments after the ending of Ys I and are often packaged together.
