Willow (1989). Play online

Summary

Willow on the NES feels like a secret Zelda‑style adventure tucked into a movie tie‑in. You control the young wizard with a sword, shield and a handful of magic spells, gathering a growing inventory of items as you explore. The game quietly adopts role‑playing mechanics: each monster you slay earns experience, and the hero levels up, unlocking stronger attacks and new abilities. Despite being rooted in the 1988 film’s universe, the NES version strips away most of the cast, leaving you to roam solo through dungeons and overworld zones. Those familiar with classic Nintendo action will recognize the familiar top‑down feel while appreciating Willow’s modest RPG twist.
