The '''Wooden Sword''' is the first sword [[Link]] gets in two games of [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda Series]]. Because of that, it is also the weakest sword in both games. It has appeared in the ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''.
The '''Wooden Sword''' is a recurring [[sword]] in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. It is the first and weakest sword in all games it appears in.


==Appearances==
==''Oracle of Seasons''==
As stated above, the Wooden Sword has appeared in two different Zelda games.
The Wooden Sword is [[Link (Oracle Series)#Oracle of Seasons|Link]]'s first blade in ''Oracle of Seasons'' and is acquired at the beginning of the game.


===The Legend of Zelda===
On his way to visit the [[Maku Tree (Oracle of Seasons)|Maku Tree]], Link is told to travel west of [[Horon Village]] to the [[Hero's Cave]] to prove his courage. It is inside this cave that he must make his way through various rooms and puzzles before finding the Wooden Sword.
The Wooden Sword is the first item available for [[Link]] to collect. While it is optional, if he doesn't pick it up the game becomes considerably more challenging. On the [[Starting Screen]], there is a small cave on the northern rock. Inside, the [[Old Man]] will say the legendary line, "IT'S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE! TAKE THIS".<ref>{{Cite|LoZ|41|[[Old Man]]}}</ref> He will then give Link the Wooden Sword. Later in the game, it can be upgraded into the [[White Sword]], and then onto the [[Magical Sword]].


===Twilight Princess===
==''Oracle of Ages''==
[[File:WoodenSwordBox.png|left|thumb|The Wooden Sword from Twilight Princess]]
In ''Oracle of Ages'', [[Link (Oracle Series)#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 (Oracle Series)|Princess Zelda]] entrusted her with the blade of a hero, and gives Link the Wooden Sword.
The Wooden Sword is again the first sword Link receives in ''Twilight Princess''. Link obtains the Wooden Sword from [[Rusl]] who repaired it and returned it to Link. Using this sword the player can practice all of the basic sword fighting skills on the training dummy just outside [[Link's House]]. This sword will remain in Link's inventory until after he rescues [[Talo]] whom will Link ask to borrow it. After the [[Twilight]] has covered the [[Eldin Province]], [[Wolf Link]] discovers the broken remains of the Wooden Sword on the ground. It is from these remains which he picks up the [[Youths' Scent]]. This scent is used to track down the kidnapped children.
