Willow (NES)/Enemies

Regular enemies

Default sorting is according to the enemies weaknesses (last 4 columns on the right).

Legend

• Name: except for the monsters that appeared in the movie, enemies in the game are nameless, but since it is a Zelda clone, names from The Legend of Zelda were chosen.
• Exp: experience points gained from defeating the enemy.
• Earliest location: many enemies appear in several areas, but usually each one is a threat only in the first one.
• Magic:
  • The High Aldwin's magic acorns paralyze some enemies;
  • Renew transforms some enemies into a different species (useful against shielded enemies);
  • Terstorm blows away some enemies (usually flying enemies);
  • Ethereal enemies can only be harmed by the Devil Eye sword.
