"{{Term/Store|The Forgotten Sword||Series, BotW}}" is a [[Side Quest]] in {{BotW}}.<ref>{{Cite|'''The Forgotten Sword'''|Adventure Log|BotW}}</ref>

After the completion of the [[Side Quest]], "[[The Eighth Heroine]]", [[Link]] can find [[Bozai]] at a tent outside of the front of [[Gerudo Town]]. Speaking to Bozai there will begin "The Forgotten Sword", the second chapter in the legend of the Eighth Heroine. Like "The Eighth Heroine", Link must be wearing the [[Gerudo Set]] to initiate the Quest, as Bozai thinks Link is a woman. Bozai is surprised that Link arrived after asking him to join him later at the tent at the end of "The Eighth Heroine".<ref>{{Cite|I think I'll just park myself under the tent in front of Gerudo Town and take five. Care to join me later?|Bozai|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|You came! I mean, hey, yeah, of course. Figured you'd swing by. Yup.

Well aren't we greedy! Or should I say insatiable for boots.

Seven other heroines, they all have their swords!

Must have!|Bozai|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|To see that such a sword actually exists, that my deduction is right... There could be no greater surprise!|Bozai|BotW}}</ref> Link agrees to go look for it to Bozai's surprise and Bozai says that it could not have been carried off too far,<ref>{{Cite|Wow, all right, then. The sword would be pretty big, so I doubt it could have been carried off too far.|Bozai|BotW}}</ref> likely residing on the steeps of the [[Gerudo Highlands]].<ref>{{Cite|I'm betting it's probably somewhere in the steeps of the {{Color|BotW Blue|Gerudo Highlands}}.|Bozai|BotW}}</ref> Before he finishes speaking, Bozai is sorry that he cannot lend Link his Snow Boots this time and tells Link to find him if he needs anything beyond footwear.<ref>{{Cite|And the thing is, I can't lend you the {{Color|BotW Blue|snow boots}} this time.

Link sets out to the Gerudo Highlands and finds the Sword of the Statue of the Eighth Heroine to the southwest of the Statue, on the southeastern section of [[Gerudo Summit]]. After taking a picture of the Sword with his [[Sheikah Slate]], Link returns to Bozai at the tent. Bozai says that a traveler swore he saw Link in the Gerudo Highlands, which caused him to worry because he did not think Link would really go to the Highlands without Snow Boots.<ref>{{Cite|A traveler swore he saw you in the Gerudo Highlands, so I've been gnawing on my fingernails with worry!|Bozai|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|I mean, all that talk about the sword was just chitchat... I didn't think you'd go up there without snow boots!|Bozai|BotW}}</ref> To Bozai's shock, Link shows him the picture of the Sword.<ref>{{Cite|WHAAAAAT?! It really exists?!|Bozai|BotW}}</ref> Stating that Link risked his life for the picture,<ref>{{Cite|Yeah... You did risk your life to fulfill your promise, after all...|Bozai|BotW}}</ref> Bozai admits that it would be uncouth of him to break his promise and gives Link the Snow Boots.<ref>{{Cite|It'd be pretty uncouth of me to drop my end of the bargain.|Bozai|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Just a second. I'll take them off...|Bozai|BotW}}</ref> Although stuck barefoot,<ref>{{Cite|Well, now I'm barefoot...|Bozai|BotW}}</ref> Bozai is happy that Link is happy.<ref>{{Cite|But if you're happy, then I'm happy!|Bozai|BotW}}</ref> Before Link ends the conversation, Bozai confesses that all of this has endeared him even closer to Link and the Quest is completed.<ref>{{Cite|And what's more, this whole episode has endeared you even more to me!|Bozai|BotW}}</ref> Link can upgrade the Snow Boots at a [[Great Fairy Fountain]] after completing the Quest.
