Play Willow on nes Online
An NES action RPG expanding the Willow movie's world with Zelda-style combat, new enemies, and gear upgrades. Pure 8-bit nostalgia.
Capcom released Willow for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989, a time when many licensed games felt rushed or simplistic. This one, however, stood apart by expanding on the film's fantasy world rather than just retelling it. It arrived in an era packed with side-scrollers and simple arcade ports, offering instead a deeper, exploratory adventure that demanded more from players.
You control the farmer Willow, guiding him through forests, swamps, and multi-level castles. Your main goal is to rescue the infant Elora Danan from the evil Queen Bavmorda, which involves navigating the world screen by screen, battling monsters with a sword that can be powered up, and collecting magic acorns to cast spells. The game requires careful exploration to find key items and new gear, like a better sword or a raft, and the pacing is deliberate, with a difficulty that feels fair but substantial. It feels like a complete, thoughtful journey packed into a cartridge.
