NES Longplay [031] Willow

Willow was undoubtedly one of my favorite NES games growing up, and in my eyes, it still holds up as one of the best games of the action/RPG genre. While playing, there was really a sense of adventure and danger that seemed absent in most other games of that class.

The game's world is humongous and it's almost a necessity to design some sort of makeshift map system if you don't wantto get lost (since no in-game maps are provided). For this longplay, I referenced some very crudely drawn maps I had sketched out on graph paper when I was a kid and to my surprise, they actually seemed to help in most cases.

I didn't play this on any time-constraints so there are a couple of sections where I just spend time battling and gaining experience. I edited the section where you have to reach level 13 to free Fin Raziel because I was just going through the same battles using the same strategy for every bit of 25 minutes. I went ahead and leveled up to 15 since I believe that's the required level to beat the game. -
