Editing Ýdalir (section)

==In popular culture==
Ýdalir was probably the inspiration for the name of a bow in the 1996 Super Famicom game ''[[Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War]]''.  A legendary bow wielded by the crusader Ullr (named after the Norse God) is called {{nihongo||イチイバル|Ichiibaru|lead=yes}}, with "[[:wikt:ja:一位|Ichii]]" the Japanese term for "Yew", and "baru" perhaps a loose Japanese syllabification of the English word "[[:wikt:ja:バレー|valley]]."  The same term was used in the 2012 anime ''[[Symphogear]]''.  In 2013, "Ichaival" was added to an [[English Wikipedia]] list, but incorrectly presented as a Norse term for a bow of Odin, rather than a Japanese phrase translating Ýdalir's meaning of "Yew Dales".  This confusion resulted in the inclusion of "Ichaival" elsewhere as a bow of Odin originating in Norse mythology, notably in the 2014 video game ''[[Smite (video game)|Smite]]''.  The erroneous term was briefly removed in 2015 but quickly restored; it was removed more finally from the English Wikipedia article in 2018.<ref name="ZAWODNIAK">{{harvcoltxt|Zawodniak|2019}}.</ref>
