The Forgotten Sword, also known as the Captain's Sword, is the first sword obtained in A Link Between Worlds. It is the weakest sword in the game, and is only used until Link finds the Master Sword.
During the initial events of A Link Between Worlds, Link finds the Blacksmith in his house forging a sword for the Captain. After speaking with the Blacksmith and Link, the Captain soon departs the house, leaving his sword on the table. The Blacksmith's Wife soon realizes this, and the Blacksmith tasks Link with delivering the sword to the Captain at Hyrule Castle.
After being unable to locate the Captain at Hyrule Castle, one of the soldiers informs Link that he can be found at the Sanctuary to the north. Before Link can enter the Sanctuary and deliver the sword, the doors forcefully close, preventing him from entering. After finding a secret passageway inside, Link discovers the Captain has been turned into a painting on the wall by Yuga. The Captain remains this way for the rest of the game, allowing Link to use the sword until he finds the Master Sword.
