Kokiri Sword

The Kokiri Sword is the first blade, and only a child can use it. It sits in a chest inside the Hole of L in the Kokiri Forest training area. Mido asks for it before the Deku Tree.

The hole, not the pedestal

Searches for “where is the sword” split in two. The child sword is this one. The Master Sword is in the Temple of Time and has another page. The wiki calls the Kokiri blade a treasure of the Kokiri and the weakest sword in the game. You crawl into the training-center hole — the Hole of L — and open the chest. There is no rupee cost in the notes I have. A Deku Shield from the shop is the partner item Mido also expects.

As an adult the sword is replaced in your hands by the Master Sword. You do not carry both as your main blade. I have no attack number worth printing. I also have no sentence that says the remake moved the chest. The manual jump might change how you climb to the hole, and I will not invent a new route until someone documents it.

If a Portuguese guide says “pegar a espada,” check which era you are in. Child means this chest. Adult means the pedestal. Linking both pages is the whole point of splitting them.

Search the Forest Training Center as child Link before trying to pass Mido. The small tunnel identifies the route into the sword area; the sword chest is separate from buying the Deku Shield. Equip both required pieces before returning to the path toward the Great Deku Tree.

Questions
