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. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', [[Ventus]] uses his own Wooden Sword as a practice weapon before [[Terra]] gives him the [[Wooden Keyblade]].

=== The Islands ===
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.
{{q|Don't tell me you're giving up already!|Riku, sparring with Sora}}
On Destiny Islands, Sora, [[Riku]], and [[Tidus]] would often use these toy swords to spar against each other.  They would pass the time on their tiny island with friendly matches against each other - Sora and Riku even having a friendly rivalry, the latter usually coming out the victor.


===''Kingdom Hearts''===
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]], having barely any effect on the [[Shadows|Shadow]].  When he and Riku were covered in darkness, the sword became the [[Keyblade]], which Sora then used until he arrived in [[Hollow Bastion]].

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]].

{{q|Here, go play hero with this.|Riku, giving Sora the Toy Sword}}
It appears, however, that Riku kept his and it washed up with him in Hollow Bastion.  While [[Maleficent]] gave him the [[Soul Eater]], he kept the wooden blade around. When Sora arrived in Hollow Bastion, he and Riku had a short standoff, and Riku's strong heart prevailed.  Now wielding the [[Kingdom Key]] himself, Riku tossed Sora his old toy sword, telling him to go and play.

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 Toy Sword after this.

==Composition & Abilities==
The Toy Sword is easily the weakest weapon in the game, and possibly the weakest in the entire series (its only rival being ''[[Kingdom Hearts II|Kingdom Hearts II's]]'' [[Struggle Bat|Struggle Bats]]).


==Design==
As its name suggests, it is indeed a toy, crudely made from pieces of wood to look like a real sword by the boys of [[Destiny Islands]]. It has next to no effect on even the weakest of [[Heartless]], although Sora can still cast magic through it if he knows any.  Despite his swordsmanship and magical training, Sora is nearly helpless when using this sword instead of the Keyblade, and must rely on his party members to destroy his enemies, or else run.
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.
Its effect on [[Nobodies]] is unknown, though it is likely that it is even less efficient against them, considering that Roxas cannot defeat Nobodies with his Struggle Bat.
