The Kokiri Sword is a recurring Sword in The Legend of Zelda series.

Overview

Ocarina of Time

"You got the Kokiri Sword! On the Equipment Subscreen, select it with the cursor and equip it with N64-A-Button.png. This is a hidden treasure of the Kokiri, but you can borrow it for a while. Be sure to practice with it before you really fight!"

In Ocarina of Time, the Kokiri Sword is located inside a Treasure Chest in a hidden chamber in the back of the Forest Training Center, which Young Link can access by crawling through a hole. It is a shortsword with a wooden cross-guard and pommel, and a dirty brown grip; The cross-guard has a studded pattern along the edge, and a ruby with gold accents is present on both sides. The sword is stated to be a sacred treasure of the Kokiri.

The Kokiri Sword is Young Link's main weapon, enabling him to perform vertical and horizontal slashes, as well as the Jump Attack, to defend himself from enemies. Link must have both the Kokiri Sword and a Deku Shield in order to get past Mido and visit the Great Deku Tree.

Majora's Mask

"Kokiri Sword The trusty sword you're familiar with that's from Kokiri Forest."

— In-game description, Majora's Mask

In Majora's Mask, Link begins the game with the Kokiri Sword, having kept it following the events of Ocarina of Time. The sword's design has been altered in this game, to reflect the modifications Link has made to it; The cross-guard is now a yellow, metal rectangle, with two stud indentations on either side, a metal frame surrounds the ricasso, the grip has been replaced with a clean white one, and the pommel is a blue, gold-tipped gem.

The Kokiri Sword is Hylian Link's main weapon, functioning identically to its appearance in Ocarina of Time. It can be temporarily upgraded to the Razor Sword, and then permanently to the Gilded Sword. After Link obtains the Hero's Bow, the Kokiri Sword can be stolen by Takkuri, requiring Link to either purchase it from the Curiosity Shop (which labels it as a Good Sword) for 50 Rupees, or play the Song of Time to reset the three-day loop.
