The game tells the story of the [[Earth]]'s resurrection by the hands of a boy named Ark, and its progress from the [[Evolutionary history of life|evolution of life]] to the present day. The game is the third entry in an unofficial trilogy of action role-playing games created by Quintet, also including ''[[Illusion of Gaia]]'' (1993) and ''[[Soul Blazer]]'' (1992).

''Terranigma'' was published in Japan by [[Enix]] on October 20, 1995, and in Europe and Australia by [[Nintendo]] starting in December 1996; the game was not released in North America due to Enix having already closed its U.S. branch by the time localization had finished, and has not been re-released due to complicated issues relating to its rights. The game has been met with critical acclaim for its presentation, gameplay, and story, although it has been criticized for its difficulty.
