I prefer my passwords in the form of blank, holy water, heart and axe in a 4x4 grid, thanks.
It meets MFA, right? Something I am (heart), something I have (axe), something I know (don't pick up holy water) and the amount of lives I have (blank). 16 characters for complexity.
For me, legacy of the wizard was a game my parents rented once when I was young, and I had one night to play it. I stayed up late playing it all night and my parents returned it the next day.
I didn't know the title of the game so I spent nearly 30 years trying to figure out what it was, but it was obscure enough and my memories hazy enough that people thought I was making it up or something.
I finally figured out what it was about a year or so ago when I just sat down with a complete list of nes games and went through them one-by-one until I found it.
After I found it, I played it all day, and with the help of a walkthrough and save states beat it. Probably one of the most satisfying game finishes of my life even if I had to use modern cheats to get there.
I never could beat it as a kid either. It was just way too complex. I loved just wandering around and exploring though, and the music is one of the best game soundtracks ever!

...Are the parents the options to start and end the game?

The parents are playable characters, Xemn the father, and Meyna the mother.
They're all characters from a great game called Legacy of the Wizard.

Depends on your childhood. I'm in my 40s and this was one of my favorite NES games as a kid. 🤷♂️
