"You got the Broken Sword! ...Hey! It's broken!"

— In-Game Description

The Broken Sword is the twelfth and final item of the trading sequence in Oracle of Ages. According to the Elderly Zora, it is a sword that a great hero gave his ancestors long ago.[1] However, as its name suggests, it is broken, and thus cannot be used.[2][3]

The Broken Sword can be acquired from the Elderly Zora, a senior memeber of the Zora race who can be found in a cave along the Coast of No Return. Once approached, the Elderly Zora tells Link that he misses the smell and sounds of the sea.[4] He also mentions that back in the day he was the best Zora musician, so he longs for an instrument so he can relive his youth.[5] Link can then give him the Sea Ukulele,[6] at which point the Elderly Zora starts to rave about the smell of the ukulele and its sound.[1] As thanks, he gives Link a Hero's Sword that a great hero gave his ancestors long ago.[1] However, the sword is broken, and whenever Link asks about it, the Elderly Zora avoids answering.[7][8]

The Broken Sword can be used to acquire the Noble Sword, the reward for completing the trading sequence. The Broken Sword must be taken to Patch, who can be found in a cave atop Restoration Wall in the Past. If Link climbs to the top and talks to Patch, he asks Link if he wants to fix his Broken Sword using Patch's Restoration Ceremony;[9] the same ceremony used to fix the Tuni Nut, although it's slightly harder now.[10] If Link successfully completes the ceremony, the Broken Sword is fixed, and turns into the Noble Sword. Furthermore, if the player is playing a Linked Game, and has already used the Clock Shop Secret to acquire the Noble Sword, the Broken Sword turns into the Master Sword instead.
