Willow Legend

Willow (威洛传奇) is a 2D action RPG developed by Capcom for the NES/Famicom. Players control Willow Ufgood, who wields a sword, shield, and magic spells against evil in the kingdom of Bavmorda. Gameplay is top-down exploration with real-time combat, gaining experience points to level up attributes like Strength and Magic. The game uses a password system instead of saves and features no money. Story is original, with Willow traveling through villages and dungeons to battle enemies and complete quests. Characters include Willow Ufgood as the hero, with appearances from the 1988 film by Ron Howard. What makes it stand out is its strong RPG elements in Zelda-like format, including combat, leveling, and equipment, plus original story content.
