Full Guide to Get Biggoron Sword in Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake
The symbol of Zelda Ocarina of Time is the Master Sword, but is it really the strongest sword in the game? The truth is no—first place goes to the Biggoron Sword, and today I'm gonna tell you how to get the Biggoron Sword in Zelda Ocarina of Time. For this goal, you gotta go through a long path with all kinds of different tasks. Basically, you gotta do a Trading Sequence—take something from someone and deliver it to someone else.
When can you get the Master Sword in Zelda Ocarina of Time?
First off, I should say that to get the Biggoron Sword in Zelda Ocarina of Time, you gotta have reached Adult Link. Actually, I suggest starting this after the Water Temple, though technically you can do it after the Ice Cavern too.
Preparations before starting
Before going after the Biggoron Sword, you gotta do some things and get some stuff ready.
- Definitely get Epona ready so the trip is easier.
- You need the Longshot or Hookshot to cross the bridge in Gerudo Valley.
- You need Blue Fire to melt the Red Ice in Zora's Domain.
- You also need the Ocarina with Sun's Song and Song of Time.
Starting the steps to get the Biggoron Sword in Zelda Ocarina of Time
You gotta go through 10 different steps to get the Biggoron Sword. The first four are simple and easy to do:
- First, talk to the Cucco Lady in Kakariko Village and get a Pocket Egg from her.
- Wait until dawn since that's when the egg hatches and the Pocket Cucco is born. (To speed this up, you can play Sun's Song.) Now take the Pocket Cucco to the house near the center of Kakariko Village. Here, wake up Talon, the owner of Lon Lon Ranch, from under the stairs and show him the chicken. Now take the chicken back to the Cucco Lady, and she takes the Pocket Cucco and gives you Cojiro.
- Now take Cojiro and go to Lost Woods. After entering, take the first path that goes left. Next to the tallest tree stump, you'll see a man sleeping. Show him Cojiro to wake him up, and he gives you the Odd Mushroom. Now your race against time begins.
Guide to delivering the Odd Mushroom on time
After you get the Odd Mushroom, a timer shows on screen giving you four minutes to reach Granny's Potion Shop in Kakariko Village.
Note: Playing a Warp Song like Bolero of Fire or Nocturne of Shadow cancels the timer, so you shouldn't use them.
Best route to deliver the Odd Mushroom
The best route I suggest so you can deliver the Odd Mushroom on time is:
- From the Lost Woods entrance, turn right first, then left to reach Goron City.
- Keep going through Goron City until you reach the Death Mountain Trail entrance. To get down faster, it's better to jump off the outer edge of Doctor's Cavern.
- Head south to Kakariko Village. Here you can enter the rooftop through the side door of the Potion Shop and get into Granny's Cauldron.
- Now you can hand in the mushroom and turn it into Odd Poultice.
- Now you can use a Warp Song and go back to the man in Lost Woods. Give him the Odd Poultice and get the Poacher's Saw from him.
- In this step of get Biggoron Sword in Zelda Ocarina of Time, you gotta return the saw to its owner. The owner of the Poacher's Saw is actually the Carpenter Boss. You can find him outside the Carpenter's Tent in Gerudo Valley. After you show him the saw, he gives you the Broken Goron's Sword.
Note: If you haven't rescued the Carpenters from Gerudo Fortress yet, the bridge isn't there, and to cross you gotta use the Longshot or jump with Epona.
Making Eyedrops
You gotta give the broken sword to Biggoron, who's standing outside the Great Fairy Fountain at the top of Death Mountain Trail. Give him the broken sword and get the Prescription from him.
Go to Zora's Domain and find King Zora still stuck under the Red Ice. Free him with Blue Fire and show him the Prescription. He gives you the Eyeball Frog.
Now you gotta dive off the waterfall and go through the tunnel to reach Lake Hylia. At the Lakeside Laboratory, you can find the frog scientist and get the Eyedrops from him.
The final step to get the Biggoron Sword in Zelda Ocarina of Time
In this step, you have 3 minutes and 30 seconds to reach the castle. My suggested route is: first go from Lake Hylia to Zora's Domain—better to use the shortcut. From Zora's Domain go to Zora's River, and follow the Lost Woods shortcut on the left. When you reach Lost Woods, go straight first, then right, and take the shortcut to Goron City. In Goron City, behind the Darunia's Room statue, you gotta find the Death Mountain Crater shortcut and take the southern exit to the castle.
Now give the Eyedrops to Biggoron and get the Claim Check from him.
Waiting three days to get the Biggoron Sword
After going through all these steps, you gotta wait three days to get the Biggoron Sword in Zelda Ocarina of Time. To speed this up, take out the Ocarina and play Sun's Song a few times. After three days, give him the Claim Check and he gives you the Biggoron Sword.

Is the Biggoron Sword worth all this time?
You might be wondering if a sword this strong can just be bought. Actually, you can buy the Giant's Knife for 200 Rupees in Goron City, and its power equals the Biggoron Sword. But the catch is it breaks after a few uses. The biggest advantage of the Biggoron Sword is its durability—it never breaks, which makes it the most valuable sword in the game.
