I was a 10 year old boy when I saw this on TV. Odd how certain things stick in your mind.
I still remember something about the evil guy--I believe he had a black beard?--and his magic item, as a sort of contrast to the Heartbow, was, if I recall, a sort of metal gauntlet thing with a blue gemstone in it. I don't recall what its power was, but if he put it on, he had some sort of energy power. I think the screen would turn blue and dark/light inverted, as when the Heartbow arrows "exploded". A modern film reference to the blue gauntlet would be a good obscure reference.
The great thing about the internet is you can ramble like this about things that don't matter in the slightest little bit...and it's okay.
