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]].

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 a weapon introduced in Kingdom Hearts. 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.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep[edit]

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[edit]

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 Shadows. 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[edit]

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.
