[TAS] NES Willow by TDrop in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2023-03-09
Willow is an NES game developed by Capcom that's loosely based on the Ron Howard fantasy movie of the same name. It is an action RPG that plays like The Legend of Zelda, with the ability to talk to people for advice and items and real-time fighting. You play as aspiring sorcerer Willow Ufgood, who, unlike in the movie, travels alone in his quest to take down the evil Queen Bavmorda of Nockmaar, who rules over her lands with an iron fist.
TDrop ( tasvideos.org/... ) in this run completes the game as fast as possible by using a variety of glitches, including one where Willow can gain huge amounts of experience in a short amount of time.

Watch this run being played back on a real console ( • [TAS Verified] NES Wil... ).

The Curious Case of the Genuinely Good Movie License Game. My childhood memories hold this game more closely than the actual movie, heh.

Turns out this game is just a walking simulator.

Flashing Lights for every boss fight and complete HP loss, watch your eyes.

The obscene amount of empty dead ends and uneventful backtracking really punishes the player for exploring. That being said, it's a pretty solid Zelda clone I wish I owned as a kid.

I loved this game growing up, but I hated that you could lock yourself out of the end game if you missed a key item midway through. I remember my dad used to play this every day trying to figure out how to beat it, unfortunately he never did ;(

A very underrated game that made my childhood awesome

Es mi juego favorito de la Nintendo, es de primero de locura qué rápido se lo ha pasado este tío a mi en 55 minutos no me daba tiempo a nada, y el atajo del castillo es la primera vez que lo veo😮

For a minute it looks like a swordless run but damn this game looks daunting!! Reminds me of games where Game genie doesn't help!!!

Is the glitch bush rush to level 13 something a human being can do? No grind Willow?!

[@deathblowringo4168]

I wonder myself how a Arcade Willow TAS will be?
