## Key points

- Find the Kokiri Sword in the training ground.
- Buy the Deku Shield for 40 Rupees.
- The Hylian Shield costs 80 Rupees later.

## Summary

Link must collect a Kokiri Sword and a shield before leaving Kokiri Forest to visit the Deku Tree in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The sword is found in a chest reached through a crawlspace in the village training ground, while the Deku Shield must be bought from the shop.

The sword’s chest sits on a raised platform beside a rolling boulder; Link can avoid it in alcoves, climb a ladder and jump across. The wooden Deku Shield costs 40 Rupees and can burn, so it may need replacing. After completing the Deku Tree dungeon, Link can buy a sturdier Hylian Shield in Hyrule Castle Town for 80 Rupees, though as a child he must carry it on his back.
