Wooden Sword

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

The Legend of Zelda
The first appearance of the Wooden Sword is in The Legend of Zelda. It is the first sword Link receives; at the start of the game, he enters a cave in the Origin and is presented with the weapon by the Old Man. This serves as his primary weapon until he has acquired enough Heart Containers to allow him to wield the White Sword.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
Link is given the Wooden Sword by Impa after Veran possesses Nayru. In order to aid him in his quest to defeat Veran, Impa gives him the Wooden Sword. Link can obtain two swords that are stronger than the Wooden Sword, known as 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. Again, the Noble Sword and the Master Sword appear.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Link again has a Wooden Sword. Near the beginning of the game, Rusl leaves it in Link's treehouse after he has finished honing it. The day after Link rescues Talo from Faron Woods, Link gives it to the children shortly before he is transformed for the first time.

Later, when he 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.
