* According to Diablo 2 Items, the canon hero who defeated Diablo in Tristram was a Warrior: the wanderer who is possessed by the Lord of Terror is clearly a man, ruling out the Rogue. His skin is pale, implying he is not the dark-skinned Sorcerer, and in the opening cutscene, the wanderer leans on a sword, the weapon most closely associated with the Warrior. (Plus in one of the cinematics Marius says "He told me he was once a great warrior.")
* Blood Raven (the corrupted Rogue from the first act of Diablo 2 Items) was evidently the Rogue in the first Diablo game. Akara and Charsi say that Blood Raven was a rogue captain at Tristram, battling Diablo. They say she returned unlike before, bringing an evil influence. Shortly thereafter, Andariel's uprising in the west began and Blood Raven began raising the dead.
* The Summoner, the corrupted Mage from the Second Act that was impersonating Horazon, was supposedly the Sorcerer in the first Diablo 2 Items game. Jerhyn and Drognan speak of a near-insane Vizjerei mage who arrived in Lut Gholein (presumably seeking Horazon's sanctuary) claiming to have fought against Diablo in Tristram, suggesting that mage became the Summoner. The Summoner is also dark skinned, like the dark-skinned Sorcerer in the original Diablo.
* Both the Diablo 2 Items manual and the Arreat Summit battle.net strategy guide gives an account of the Sin War between Horazon and his brother Bartuc. Bartuc, who was known as the Warlord of Blood supposedly meets his end in the first Diablo 2 Items self-titled quest Warlord of Blood though this is disputed (see below). Horazon presumably meets his fate in Act II, although this is disputed as others say that Horazon was being impersonated by the Sorcerer (in this case, Horazon's end is unknown).
* Bartuc the Bloody makes an appearance in the Lord of Destruction expansion Act V, as the leader of Baal's Council Members during the battle in the Throne Room of the Worldstone fortress. This however may conflict with the Warlord of Blood quest from the first Diablo 2 Items.
* Act I continues the story of the town of Tristram and Act IV revisits Hell, making these acts the most similar to the first Diablo 2 Items game. In Tristram, the player rescues Deckard Cain and learns the fate of both Griswold the Blacksmith and Wirt, though there is nothing told of the whereabouts of the other town characters (Pepin, Adria, Ogden, Farnham and Gillian). In Tristram, corpses can be seen on the ground where the original town members once stood. (The lone exception to this is Adria, but only because the general location of her hut is inaccessible.) Whether or not the nameless corpses are the unaccounted-for townsfolk is unknown. However, since the unveiling of Diablo III and the subsequent creation of the website, you can find in Cain's journal on page 16 that all of the townsfolk were reanimated into undead, except for Griswold who, "had so faithfully armored the one I called friend during his battles, suffered perhaps the worst fate of all, being corrupted into a slavering demonic beast thirsting after human flesh."
* Although Act II and Act III present an entirely new theme, they expand upon what happens to Tal-Rasha's tomb and the Zakarum religion, respectively, stories which were presented in the first Diablo 2 Items manual.
* The expansion Act V pays little homage to the first Diablo 2 Items, but it does bring back Succubi, enemies that were not found in the original Diablo 2 Items. Although it is thought that all of the Succubi were killed in the battle beneath Tristram, Baal unleashed his personal harem on Arreat.
l After the player beats Diablo 2 Items or the expansion, an item called "Wirt's Leg" (which is obtained from Wirt's body in Tristram) can be used to open the Secret Cow Level.[12] This item is a reference to the character Wirt from the original Diablo 2 Items, a teenager who lost his leg to demons and wears a peg leg, and the level it opens is a homage to the well-spread "cow level" rumor from the earlier game.
