''Zeliard'' is a [[Metroidvania]]-style adventure game by [[Game Arts]], considered to be one of their better pre-''[[Lunar]]'' titles. Like [[Game Arts]]' earlier titles ''[[Thexder (Video Game)|Thexder]]'' and ''Silpheed'', it was originally released in Japan on the [[PC 88]] and brought to western shores by [[Sierra]].
 
The game takes place [[Exty Years From Now|two thousand years after]] a [[Cosmic Horror]] known as Jashiin was [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can|sealed away]] by the nine Tears Of Esmesanti, after causing much havoc upon the world and claiming it for his own. After the self-proclaimed "Emperor of Chaos" somehow breaks free from his prison, he causes an extremely long sandstorm (it was raining sand, actually) that severely damages the beautiful landscape and [[Taken for Granite|turns Princess Felicia la Felishika to stone]], simply as an act of revenge against the descendants of those who imprisoned him. Duke Garland, guided by the Guardian Spirit and appointed by King Felishika, sets forth to reclaim the holy crystals and finish off Jashiin and end his reign of terror. There is a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJHDgHKciew video review], for those who'd like to know more.

* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: The [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons|dragon]] of the Volcano cavern is vulnerable in the face; anywhere else is just [[Scratch Damage]].
* [[Big Bad]]: Jashiin, who was a [[Cosmic Horror]] from another galaxy before becoming a [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]]. He didn't take it very well, and it shows.
* [[Blob Monster]]: Two of the bosses are gelatinous cubes. Many of the more-common monsters are some kind of blob, especially in the final world.
* [[City of Gold]]: Complete with a place named "El Dorado," although very little of the gold is available for the taking.
Line 21:
** The "slashing at a frog" part is pretty accurate for the first two levels, at least.
* [[Disc One Nuke]]: The better spells you acquire serve this role, being far more effective than sword around the time they are first learned.
* [[Everything's Squishier Withwith Cephalopods]]: The second boss is a giant octopus/squid.
* [[Faceless Eye]]: One of the levels features giant eyeballs that rush at you at high speeds.
* [[Giant Enemy Crab]]: Cangrejo
