About this game

Willow is a top-down action RPG developed and published by Capcom for NES in 1989, adapted from the fantasy movie produced by George Lucas. Willow, a farmer from the Nelwyn dwarf village, is tasked to protect the prophesied baby Elora Danan and defeat the evil sorceress Queen Bavmorda. Players travel through forests, caves and towns, recruit allies and rescue the sorceress Fin Raziel trapped in animal form. There are no shops; swords, shields and 12 types of magic are obtained from NPC conversations. Killing monsters levels up Willow, raising HP, MP and attack speed. Magic spells include stun, offensive and healing skills. Enemies are visible on map instead of random encounters, and the game uses password save system. With impressive 8-bit pixel graphics, it is a well-known fantasy ARPG on NES.
