The 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 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"''.{{Ref|LoZ|41|[[Old Man]]}} He then gives Link the Sword, which can fire [[Sword Beam]]s at full health.

The Sword is by far the weakest sword in the game - for instance, it takes eight hits to kill [[Aquamentus (The Legend of Zelda)|Aquamentus]] with the 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]].

The Sword is an [[amiibo]] exclusive weapon found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. It can be obtained by scanning a Link (The Legend of Zelda) amiibo, through the use of the [[amiibo (Rune)|amiibo Rune]]. Scanning the amiibo will drop various items from the sky, along with a treasure chest, which has a chance of containing the Sword, but can also contain different items. The amiibo can only be scanned once per day.

It represents the iconic sword used by [[Link#The Legend of Zelda|Link]] in the first Zelda game, as referenced with the nod in the description above. The design comes from the promotional pictures of Link holding it from the original game, rather than the in-game sprite itself.
