The Wooden Sword is the first item available for [[Link]] to collect. While it is optional, not picking it up will make the game considerably more challenging.

TAKE THIS".<ref>{{Cite|LoZ|41|[[Old Man]]}}</ref> He will then give Link the Wooden Sword. The Wooden Sword is by fair the weakest sword in the game. An example of this is the fact that it takes eigh thits to kill [[Aquamentus]] with the Wooden Sword, but only two with the Magical Sword.
