Dragon Slayer IV: Drasle Family, released outside Japan as Legacy of the Wizard, is a 1987 action role-playing platform video game developed and published by Nihon Falcom for the MSX2. A port for the Nintendo Entertainment System was released in Japan in July 1987 by Namco and internationally in 1989 by Broderbund. It is the fourth installment of the Dragon Slayer series, and one of only five Dragon Slayer games that were localized outside Japan. The game was an early example of an open-world, non-linear action RPG, combining action-RPG gameplay with what would later be called "Metroidvania"-style action-adventure elements.
