The Legend of Zelda

The Wooden Sword is the first item available for Link to collect. While it is optional, not picking it up makes the game considerably more challenging. The Wooden Sword can be found on the Starting Screen, where there is a small cave on the northern rock. Inside, the Old Man says the legendary line, "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this".[1] He then gives Link the Wooden Sword. The Wooden Sword is by far the weakest sword in the game. An example of this is the fact that it takes eight hits to kill Aquamentus with the Wooden Sword, but only two with the Magical Sword. Later on in the game, it can be replaced by the White Sword and/or the Magical Sword.
