TheIron Sword (Japanese:鉄の剣Iron Sword) is the most basicsword-type weapon in theFire Emblem series. It is not very powerful, and has no special powers or qualities whatsoever. However, it is cheap, durable, easy to find and easy to wield, making it a useful resource at the beginning of any journey. It is also fairly light, making it relatively easy for characters to strike twice with it per turn. The Iron Sword has appeared in everyFire Emblem game to date, with the exception ofFire Emblem Gaiden.
