Editing Ortega (section)

==Trivia==
*The opening movie to the 25th anniversary compilation of the [[Erdrick Trilogy]] shows a life-size carving of Ortega in the Hero's home, explaining how they can recognize their father despite his departure so early in their life.
*[[Ortega's Helm]] is the only part of the [[Erdrick Equipment]] set that originally belonged to the Hero's family, making it a true heirloom for future descendants.
*[[Ortega's Helm]] doesn't exist in the {{NES}} version.  In its place is a novelty item called the [[joker's soaker]].
*In the original {{Famicom}} version, his appearance in the battle with the [[King Hydra]] is that of a palette-swapped [[Robbin' 'Ood]]. In the English-language {{NES}} version, his appearance was changed a unique sprite based off of a male [[Warrior]] wearing blue armor. The {{Super Famicom}} and {{Game Boy Color}} Versions give him his own  overworld icon and his battles are depicted as cutscenes that do not use the regular battle screen. Data in the game's ROM suggests that Ortega was originally planned to use Robbin' 'Ood colors and fight [[King Hydra]] in a normal battle screen, but this plan was scrapped in favor of the distinct design and cinematic battles.
:*The American redesign bears a striking similarity to [[Pankraz]], as the fifth game was in its planning stages while the {{NES}} localization of {{III}} was under way.
