Objectives[]
Take Linken's Sword to Donova Snowden in Winterspring
- [Linken's Training Sword] (provided)
Description[]
You see, I have no idea how I ended up here. No one really knows—it's a secret to everybody! I just can't seem to remember anything...
These items you brought to me, though... I am remembering something.
My sword. I am supposed to strengthen it somehow, but I'm really not sure why. Sorry I can't tell you more, but I just don't remember!
Anyhoo, I do know where you can take it—Donova Snowden in Winterspring. You'll find her by the hot springs. She can temper the sword by the pools there.
Rewards[]
You will receive:
- 7350 XP
Progress[]
My, my... So Linken did finally get around to sending me his sword.
Completion[]
Well, of course I can temper this sword. While I'm working, you can explain what took Linken so long to get this to me. He's not usually one to forget things...
Notes[]
On completion:
- Donova Snowden says: Please, follow me.
- Donova runs over to the nearby pool and kneels next to it.
- Donova Snowden says: I haven't really figured out what it is, but there's something strange about the hot springs...
- Donova Snowden tosses the sword into the shallow pool.[1]
- She runs back to her tent.
- Donova Snowden says: I've found that when I throw something into this water, it has improved incredibly when I retrieve it.
- Donova Snowden says: Well, whatever it is, it works quite well!
- Donova Snowden says: And I am determined to find out more... So if you need my help again, you know where I'll be.

Trivia[]
The next quest, It's a Secret to Everybody, rewards Linken with Linken's Training Sword after some traveling, which is quite similar to how Link always starts off acquiring a weak sword. In a later quest, [52] Linken's Sword, Linken upgrades his sword to Linken's Superior Sword. To get this upgraded sword, you have to push on a gravestone ( [52] A Grave Situation), as in the original Legend of Zelda.[2]
