Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Legacy of the Wizard is part of Falcom’s influential Dragon Slayer series and marks one of the earliest examples of an open-ended, non-linear action-RPG on a console. Originally released in Japan as Dragon Slayer IV: Drasle Family, the game features music composed by Yuzo Koshiro, who later gained fame for his work on Ys and Streets of Rage. Its intricate design and multi-character system were remarkably ambitious for the NES era, showcasing Falcom’s early innovation in blending platforming with RPG elements.
