Zoids Saga DS: Legend of Arcadia is the conclusion of the Zoids Saga series. It comprises scenes from Zoids Saga, Zoids Saga II (released in the west as Zoids: Legacy) and Zoids Saga III: Fuzors. It features upgraded graphics and sound. Additionally Zoids and story elements from the Zoids Genesis anime have been included.

The game plays like a traditional JRPG with the player controlling characters and mechs from the Zoids titles. Enemy Zoids wander around the overworld and chase you on sight, which takes the player into the turn-based combat system. An English patch for the game done by Traceeytrace in 2022.

The gameplay is the same as Zoids Saga except that Takara Tomy used the DS split screen feature to introduce the radar system. Regina gave him a peculiar device which he wore on his left arm called Arm Retcomm, a radar watch device with map, item locator, trap, and Zoids mining system. Right now, you only have level 1 of these systems, but you will get more upgrade for the device starting from midgame.

Entering Genesis timeline, the party asked everyone about what's going on. Apparently, Digald Empire rules here and if you attempt to fight them...they will send armies of Bio-Zoids to you and give you death punishment. Oof! Here, you get the Mining and Trap radar from a villager, he then explains to you how the feature work. Trap radar here lets you see if there's a hidden trap which is shown with red squares and stepping on these red squares will trigger an explosion, dealing tiny damage to your Zoids. Mining will let you see if you're close to a spot burying Zoids core or Zoids which converted to Zi data.

On the way, the party encountered Orpis after successfully digging their first treasure. The party knows what Orpis is planning in this timeline but when they first meet Orpis, he called the Prince as pathetic which offends Regina. Regina challenges Orpis to a battle and push the Prince to join the battle too which Atory instantly follow along.

When the time device transports them to a different location, the party got themselves involved with the conflict between Digald Empire and the team led by Ra Kan. Those Bio-Zoids are tough and Atory's party can't hurt them at all which seems to introduce us about weapons ignoring defense (Some Bio-Zoids had Shield Ignore which mean...even if you had E-Shield active, their attack still deals normal damage on your Zoids directly and ignoring your barrier basically). And peculiar Zoids with blade had special animation of completely cut a Zoid in half followed by red screen (Must be bloody if this game is anime). If Ra Kan hadn't been there, the party would be instantly eliminated in a short time. The party thanked Ra Kan for the help and Ra Kan tells the party about a metal that they can use to fight those Bio-Zoids. Metal Zi, the material was said to be strong enough to pierce Bio-Zoids tough defense. What a complicated situation.
