Non-Final Fantasy guest appearances

Captain N: The Game Master

Elfheim is never mentioned by name, but it is the home of the Prince and elves. Astos is trying to overthrow the Prince and take his kingdom.

Behind the scenes

In the WonderSwan, GBA, PSP and iOS versions, the left gravestone in Elfheim reads "Here Lies Link." This is a reference to Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda, as Link has an elf-like appearance. The elves in Elfheim have a striking resemblance to Link from The Legend of Zelda as they wear green tunics, green hats, and have yellow hair. In the Final Fantasy Origins version, the gravestone reads "May Erdrick rest in peace". In the English localization of the NES version of the game, the aforementioned tombstone says "Here lies Erdrick." Erdrick is a reference to a character in the Dragon Quest series. In the original Japanese Famicom version, however, the tombstone has always been for Link.

Etymology

[view · edit · purge]"Álfheimr" is one of the Nine Worlds of Yggdrasil in Norse Mythology. Álfheimr was inhabited by the light elves, and the name of the world literally translates as "elf home."

[view · edit · purge]An elf is a type of supernatural being in Germanic mythology and folklore. Reconstructing the early concept of an elf depends almost entirely on texts in Old English or relating to Norse mythology. Elves entered the 20th-century high fantasy European genre in the wake of works published by authors such as J. R. R. Tolkien.

[view · edit · purge]Heim is German for "home".
