Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light (ファイアーエムブレム 暗黒竜と光の剣, Faiā Emuburemu: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi), sometimes called Fire Emblem, is a 1990 tactical role-playing game developed by Nintendo R&D1 and published by Nintendo for the Family Computer, and the first game in the long-running Fire Emblem series.
Fire Emblem was one of the earliest series in the turn-based strategy genre on home consoles. However, unlike other strategy games, it borrowed several elements from role-playing video games such as Dragon Quest, and is among the first games, if not the first, in the tactical role-playing game genre. Later games in the series made numerous changes to the gameplay.
The game stars Marth, a character who later became better known for his appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. The Falchion weapon from this game acts as the Fire Emblem franchise's symbol in the Super Smash Bros. series. Additionally, Caeda appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a Sticker.
All the little girls and boys,
Playing with their little toys,
All they really needed from you is maybe some love.
All the little boys and girls,
Living in this crazy world,
All they really needed from you is maybe some love.
Why must we be alone?
Why must we be alone?
It's real love,
Yes, it's real.
I don't expect you to understand,
The king above heaven is in your hand.
I don't expect you to awake from your dreams,
Too late for pride now it seems.
All the little plans and schemes,
Nothing but a bunch of dreams,
