The version of Willow released for the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Famicom is an adventure game in the vein of The Legend of Zelda. The game has the player taking on the role of Willow. Unlike the film and arcade game, Willow generally travels alone, only briefly meeting other characters. In the tradition of The Legend of Zelda, Willow wields a sword and shield and many supplementary items along with a wide variety of magic spells. As the game progresses and Willow defeats enemies, he gains experience points and levels as in a role-playing video game.

Great game! It gives me those nostalgic Legend of Zelda vibes in gameplay. Although the story feels a bit bland (I haven't seen the movie it's based on), the music, especially the village theme, is simply fantastic. Progression is enjoyable, and you become incredibly powerful. However, towards the end, it gets a bit too grindy and repetitive. Despite that, it's still a super fun experience!
