In ''Oracle of Ages'', Link is given the Wooden Sword by [[Impa]]. Shortly after [[Nayru (Oracle)|Nayru]] is captured, Impa wakes up and thanks Link for helping her. She tells him that since he bears the mark of a hero, he must be the one destined to save the Oracle. She confides in him that [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] entrusted her with the blade of a hero, and gives Link the Wooden Sword.
