Legend of Mana is a 1999 action role-playing game developed and published by Square for the Sony PlayStation. It is the first spinoff game in the Mana series, and the fourth game overall following 1995's Trials of Mana.

Legend of Mana is notable as the first game in the series to adopt a "choose your own adventure" model, combining numerous elements of strategy-simulation titles with the series' time-honored action RPG mechanics, placing the player in control of a hero who builds their own world while resolving the various issues that they and the other citizens of this world encounter. The very composition of the world determines the balance of mana as well as the events of the story, since the player can also choose which quests to undertake in any order they wish. However, the player's choices may also have rewards and consequences that extend far beyond the current quest in play. The quests themselves are presented as chapters in the stories of individuals or entire communities of people that the Hero will meet in their overall quest to revive the Tree of Mana that was lost in ages past.

Story

Opening cutscene

Nine centuries ago, the Mana Tree burned to ashes. The power of Mana lived on inside Mana stones, enchanted instruments, and artifacts. Sages fought with each other for control of these last remnants of Mana. Then, after hundreds of years of war, as the power of Mana began to wane, those who sought it grew scarce, and the world returned to peace. After that, mankind grew afraid to desire. Their hearts filled with empty emotions, and grew estranged from my hands. They turned their eyes away from my infinite power, and were troubled by their petty disputes. Remember me! Need me! I can provide you with everything! I am love. Find me, and walk beside me.
