Whatever it is about classic adventure NES games that no other more advanced consoles have been able to reproduce is abundant is Willow. Its very challenging for its genre; it mazes and bosses are as hard (in my opinion) as they could be without losing the level of fun. The player is rewarded with hidden treasure for being thorough, not for some random accident or trick that you could only know from a friend or website. One thing it did well was not even try to follow the movie or book but only included bits when it would enrich the game. Its one of NES's better and more unique games, one that contributes to NES being the greatest console ever. If you liked Zelda you should definitely get Willow.
