The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Hints
Where can I find a sword?
1 of 13: A staple of Zelda games, finding your sword is usually the first real puzzle.
2 of 13: Ask people around Mercay Island (or at least the part of it you can access) for help.
3 of 13: Oshus seems pretty knowledgable -- head back to his house and ask him about a sword.
4 of 13: If you have tried the path to the North, he will forbid you from going that way, and simply tell you to wait for the bridge to be repaired.
5 of 13: We don't have that kind of time, old man!
6 of 13: There is another cave just to the right of Oshus' house.
7 of 13: If you head inside after being told to wait for the bridge to be repaired, Ciela will remark that she thinks Oshus hid a sword back here.
8 of 13: However, there's a rather large stone slab blocking your path to the store area of the cave.
