Long ago, an evil dragon named Keela was imprisoned inside a magical dungeon.

The Drasle family decides that it's time to destroy the dragon once and for all.
However only one weapon is capable of doing this, the Dragon Slayer, which is itself sealed away by four magical crowns.
The Drasle family decides to take on this quest, and will use every member of the family in order to accomplish it.
Legacy of the Wizard is a side-scrolling action platform game with light role-playing elements.
The player chooses a character from among five different members of the Drasle family.
The choices are: Xemm the father and woodcutter, Mayna the magic-using mother, Roas the brave warrior son, Lyll the athletic daughter and Pochi the domesticated monster-pet.
Each character has unique abilities (including attack and jumping abilities) and can only use certain items from those collected.
Players can travel back to the Drasle household at any point to change characters.
The object of the game is to enter the large dungeon, itself divided into 5 areas, collecting a variety of items (which as mentioned, can only be used by particular characters) and use them to progress through the dungeon, defeating monsters.
Power-ups dropped by monsters include gold, keys, health-restoring bread, magic-restoring potions and health-damaging poison.
Gold can be spent on items and other power-ups that are available at various shops hidden inside the dungeon.
The player must eventually defeat the four bosses guarding the crowns that seal the Dragon Slayer and then use that weapon to defeat the Kress.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Legacy of the Wizard for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Legacy of the Wizard to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1987.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Legacy of the Wizard, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Entertainment System titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
