Fire Emblem Theme

The Fire Emblem Theme, from Path of Radiance.

The Fire Emblem Theme is a musical track which acts as the main anthem for the entire Fire Emblem series. It was originally composed for Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light by either Yuka Tsujiyoko or Hirokazu Tanaka, and its use as that game's title screen theme has continued as a tradition by the majority of Fire Emblem games since. In many games, several other tracks also incorporate fragments of the theme.
