About This Game
Introduced RPG-style dungeon crawling and world map navigation - mechanics that wouldn't reappear in the series until Fire Emblem Echoes.
Features a unique promotion system where characters change classes at shrines rather than using items.
Considered a 'side story' (Gaiden) to the main series, it was the only Fire Emblem game for Famicom with battery backup saving.
