Well it depending on what Difficulty you are playing on. And if you are playing the Final Max. But the Shield gives the early game boost.

The sword. Always. Donald has the wand. Goofy has the shield. And what do we do with the keyblade? That’s right. Whoop heartless upside the head with it. Much like a sword. They gonna learn today.

I prefer sword because melee is more fun in this game. I tried once going staff because apparently magic is stronger in the long run but unfortunately it wasn’t as fun (and challenging) as the sword for me so if you want an easy time pick the staff first otherwise go with the sword.

Sword
But haha these choices always take forever. Super important decisions

Whatever you do, do NOT get rid of the wand.
MP is extremely important later on if you’re playing Proud difficulty.

Choose the shield then ditch the staff.

Always went staff… I always like magic/ranged builds in games

FYI I am pretty sure the meta choice given what the outcomes actually are is to grab the staff and throw away the sword.
Of course I did the opposite as a child.

I always take sword because all I know is that whacking stuff harder is better.

Staff. You get extra MP you can’t get anywhere else

Use the sword. High attack stat
MURDERTRUCK
From what I remember choosing the staff is the only way to get max MP and you can just use consumables to raise your other stats

Sword

Never tried a mage build in Kingdom Hearts. Is it as viable as smacking everything?

Sword, buddy – who wouldn’t want an awesome sword?

On hard mode, shield.
Otherwise, sword.

I dont know anything about this game so i think the best choice is to take nothing and just chill in the room

Staff and get rid of sword. Staff gives you more MP to heal. Shield is also an option because it gives you higher defensive stats. Basically picking sword is the worst option

I always go sword. The staff is a good choice too since you get a permanent MP boost but magic in KH1 is really finicky and the only spells I end up using are cure and aero.
Also canonically sword seems to be the correct pick, since Donald and Goofy already have the staff in the shield.

Team staff. Anything else and you’re giving up MP.

I used to have always gone with the sword. But in my recent playthrough, I’ve gone with the wand.

Staff, you get extra MP to heal and magical attacks can help DPS keep up with the sword. Plus Magic is always the best! I give up the shield.

Staff gives you the least helpful ability lineup, however it has decent special moves, and it gives you an 2 MP points you otherwise can’t make up for with item boosts. However, it also nets you the smallest item slots count.
Sword gives you the second best ability lineup though it’s actually not that much better than Staff, it gives you a longer combo and useful close combat skills early on, and some useful defensive abilities earlier than Staff, however it has no extra bonuses to speak of in terms of item slots or stats.
Shield gives you all the most useful quality of life abilities as early as possible such as Second Chance and Leaf Bracer. It gives you the most item slots, but you also get Scan pretty late.
Overall I’d say Shield for unconfident players, and Staff for more experienced players looking to minmax their Sora. Painful as it is to say, even though it’s the most fitting option, it is always most optimal to drop the Sword.

Attack is always best. Once you get the glide power basically no boss can hit you anyways.

Take the sword, give up the shield.

Choose the wand, get rid of the shield. By far the best choice.
