The Recruit's Sword (みならい兵士の剣 Minarai Heishi no Ken?, Apprentice Soldier's Sword) is a sword from The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. This dangerous yet unremarkable weapon is obtained in the training room of Hyrule Castle, as Link requires a sword in order to traverse the hidden back way into the Tower of Spirits, which is infested with enemies. Russell, the leader of the castle guard, gives it to Link, whom he mistakes for one of his recruits due to his Recruit Uniform, after Link successfully completes a basic sword training exercise. It is eventually replaced by the Lokomo Sword, that Link receives from Anjean after he completes the Sand Sanctuary. The Recruit's Sword has an average-length blade and a very short cross-guard. It has a tan hilt with a blue gem in the pommel.
Interestingly, the Recruit's Sword is nearly identical in appearance to Oshus's Sword from The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, and the Hero's Sword from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
