Wooden Sword

The Wooden Sword is a recurring sword in the Legend of Zelda series. It is the first sword Link obtains in games in which it appears.

The Legend of Zelda
At the start of the game, Link enters a cave in the northwest of Origin and is presented with the weapon by the Old Man. When all of Link's Heart Containers are full, the Wooden Sword can shoot Sword Beams.

Curiously, the Wooden Sword is referred to simply as the "Sword" in the introduction screen. It serves as Link's primary weapon until he has acquired enough Heart Containers to allow him to wield the White Sword. In both the First and Second Quests, it is possible to get the White Sword before Level 1 by finding the secret Heart Containers. Interestingly, the sword's handle will change to the color of the current tunic Link is wearing.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
Link is given the Wooden Sword by Impa after Veran possesses Nayru, to aid him in his quest to defeat Veran. Link can eventually obtain two stronger swords, the Noble Sword and the Master Sword.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
The Wooden Sword is needed in order to enter the grove of the Maku Tree in Horon Village. Link has to pass the trials in a cave known as the Hero's Cave to obtain the sword. As in Oracle of Ages, the Noble Sword and the Master Sword are also obtainable.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Near the beginning of the game, Rusl leaves the Wooden Sword in Link's House after he has finished honing it. With this weapon, Link demonstrates various sword fighting skills on the training dummy outside his house, while the village children watch. Link gives it to the children shortly before he is transformed for the first time, the day after rescuing Talo from Faron Woods.

Later, when Link reaches the Twilight-covered Eldin Province, he finds the Wooden Sword broken and stuck in the ground. It is from this that Link, as a wolf, learns the Youth's Scent. The Wooden Sword is not seen again.
