Dream Sword



The Dream Sword (ソードオブドリーム) is a weapon from Kingdom Hearts, and is one of only two weapons unique to Sora, the other being the Wooden Sword. It appears in Sora's Awakening, alongside the Dream Shield and Dream Rod. These three weapons represent the paths Sora can take - that of the warrior, the guardian, or the mystic. Once Sora leaves his awakening, the Dream Sword disappears. Unlike the other two weapons, which can later be obtained by Donald Duck and Goofy, the Dream Sword does not explicitly appear later in the game. However, it is the core of the first Ultima Weapon keychain, Sora's most powerful weapon.

Sora can either choose to wield, discard, or ignore this weapon, determining his initial stats, his max AP, MP, and Item Slots, and in what order he learns abilities. By choosing the Dream Sword, Sora's stats will focus on Strength, and he will learn abilities such as Combo Plus earlier than on the other two paths.

The Struggle Sword replaces the Dream Sword in Roxas's Awakening in Kingdom Hearts II, but immediately becomes the Keyblade if chosen. Its purpose is the same as in Kingdom Hearts.

Appearance
The Dream Sword is a generic sword with a small black Hidden Mickey symbol on the hilt.

Trivia

 * By using a Game Shark to modify the game a player can obtain the Awakening version of the Dream weapons later in the game. Unlike other weapons, the strength of the Dream Sword is based on Sora's level; it starts at 1, but increases for every 10 levels that Sora grows. Therefore, at level 100 its strength is 10, which is as strong as Metal Chocobo or Divine Rose.
 * The Ultima Weapon of Kingdom Hearts looks like the Dream Sword under the lacing.
