The '''Wooden Sword''' is a weapon introduced in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. It is wielded by [[Sora]] and [[Riku]] at [[Destiny Islands]], and again by Sora at [[Hollow Bastion]], when Riku takes the Keyblade. It is also seen in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' as [[Ventus]]'s practice weapon before [[Terra]] gives him the [[Wooden Keyblade]].

==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
Ventus used a Wooden Sword as his practice weapon in the [[Land of Departure]]. At this point, the blade of the sword has many nicks and dents in it from practice fighting. Noticing the damage, [[Terra]] bestows Ventus with his [[Wooden Keyblade]] as a replacement and encourages him by pointing out that the dents show improvement.

===''Kingdom Hearts''===
On Destiny Islands, Sora and Riku would often use these toy swords to spar against each other, or against [[Tidus]], [[Wakka]], and [[Selphie]]. They would pass the time on their tiny island with friendly matches against each other—Sora and Riku even having a friendly rivalry.

During the destruction of the islands, Sora attempted to stave off the [[Heartless]] with the toy sword while making his way to Riku and [[Kairi]], but has no effect on the [[Shadow]]s. When he and Riku were engulfed in darkness, Sora received the [[Keyblade]], which he then used until he arrived in [[Hollow Bastion]].

It appears, however, that Riku kept his with him after washing up at Hollow Bastion, even after [[Maleficent]] gave him the [[Soul Eater]]. When Sora arrived in Hollow Bastion, he and Riku had a short standoff, and Riku's stronger heart prevailed. Taking the [[Kingdom Key]] for himself, Riku tossed Sora his old wooden sword, telling him to go and play hero with it instead.

With the help of the [[Beast]], Sora made his way into the Entrance Hall of Hollow Bastion, where he and Riku had another showdown, and this time, Sora's heart held out. The Kingdom Key chose Sora once more, and the two fought. It is unknown what happened to the Wooden Sword after this.

==Design==
The Wooden Sword is essentially a toy, crudely made from pieces of wood to resemble a sword. Ventus's Wooden Sword is identical in design to Sora and Riku's, except it has a darker color scheme and its blade is dented from practice fighting.

The Wooden Sword is easily the weakest weapon in the game, and possibly the weakest in the entire series, with its only rivals being the [[Struggle Bats]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and the [[Wooden Stick]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. Despite Sora's adept swordplay, melee strikes with the sword have next to no effect on the Heartless whatsoever, although he can still use it as a medium for magic if he knows any.
