Wooden Sword

The Wooden Sword is a recurring sword in the Legend of Zelda series''.

The Legend of Zelda
In The Legend of Zelda, the Wooden Sword is found at the starting point in the cave, given to him by an Old Man. Link uses this sword until he obtains the White Sword, which is more powerful. It is known merely as "Sword" (ソード) in the Japanese game.

Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons
The Wooden Sword is also first weapon obtained in the Oracle games. In Oracle of Ages, Impa gives it to Link; in Oracle of Seasons it is obtained inside the Hero's Cave on the Western Coast.

Twilight Princess
The Sword is also in Twilight Princess, being the first sword he receives. He receives it from Rusl as a present (although the in-game description suggests that Rusl was simply repairing it), and it is with this sword the player learns basic sword fighting skills. Link keeps this sword until after he rescues Talo. He eventually gives the sword to Talo so he and Colin can get past them to where Ilia is holding Epona.

Later on, Link comes across the broken wooden sword when he is looking for the children as a wolf. From these pieces, he is able to pick up the Youths' Scent.

Strangely, the sword has markings on it that are very similar to the Twilight Emblem. The reason for this is unknown.
