The Kokiri Sword can be skipped using the Deku Scrub that sells the Deku Stick upgrade to hover glitch your way onto the bridge and out of the forest. You then proceed to visiting Zelda, and learn the Zelda's Lulaby (observing that Link plays it on the Ocarina of Time, since you don't have the Fairy Ocarina). This removes Mido, allowing you to enter the Deku Tree with out the Kokiri sword. Klydestorm of youtube had a set of videos showing how this is performed, and the consequences of the glitch.
