Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, known in Japan as Fire Emblem: Shin Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Ken (ファイアーエムブレム 新・暗黒竜と光の剣?, literally Fire Emblem: New Shadow Dragons and the Blade of Light), is a tactical role-playing remake of the first Fire Emblem video game, Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi, developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo. It is the eleventh installment in the Fire Emblem series, first for the Nintendo DS and first to feature online play.
Shadow Dragon is the second enhanced remake of the first Fire Emblem game'. An older enhanced remake, Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo, includes the original game as book one of two. The game offers a graphical enhancement from Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Ken as well as utilising the dual screens, touch screen controls and online capabilities of the Nintendo DS. The game's story centers on Marth as he embarks on a quest to win back his home kingdom and rescue his kidnapped sister. Characters and chapters that were not present in the original or were omitted for Monshō no Nazo have been introduced in this version. The artist of the character illustrations is Masamune Shirow.

Famous quotes containing the words fire, shadow and/or dragon:
“My arising prodigal
Sun the father his quiver full of the infants of pure fire ...”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“I have often told you that I am that little fish who swims about under a shark and, I believe, lives indelicately on its offal. Anyway, that is the way I am. Life moves over me in a vast black shadow and I swallow whatever it drops with relish, having learned in a very hard school that one cannot be both a parasite and enjoy self-nourishment without moving in worlds too fantastic for even my disordered imagination to people with meaning.”
—Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)
“And then at last our bliss
Full and perfect is,
But now begins; for from this happy day
The old Dragon underground,
In straiter limits bound,
Not half so far casts his usurped sway,
And, wroth to see his kingdom fail,
Swinges the scaly horror of his folded tail.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
