Trivia

  • Prior to being listed as "Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade" in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Japanese subtitle "Fuuin no Tsurugi" did not have an official English translation sanctioned by Nintendo. Because of this, the game is also commonly referred to by English speakers by the more literal translations: "Sealed Sword" or "Sword of Seals".
  • Roy, makes a cameo appearance as a child at the end of Fire Emblem (the prequel to Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade). Because Fire Emblem (subtitled Rekka no Ken in Japan) was the first in the series to be released outside Japan, the relevance of the boy's appearance is largely missed by Westerners.
