Capcom's overhead Willow, closer to Zelda than the film. XP, magic, and a world map with towns that sell the next sword. Bavmorda is a grind if you skip caves.

Tips

  • Start here

    Farm until the sword doesn't bounce

    Early hits that 'tink' mean grind. Buy magic that heals before magic that shoots. Talk to every dwarf twice.

  • Secrets

    The later swords are story doors

    A blocked forest is usually a missing blade or a missing NPC. Don't sell old swords until the new one is in the slot. Passwords after every town.
