How To Get The Biggoron Sword In The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Remake

What, Master Sword not good enough for you? You need a Biggoron Sword too? Well, okay, fine. In the Ocarina of Time remake, I guess I recommend it. The Biggoron Sword is an optional weapon obtained via a lengthy sidequest. It’s the strongest sword in the game, dealing even more damage than the Master Sword, but it’s slower, and requires two hands to wield, so no shield on the side. Still, having it around can be handy, so let’s go on a little adventure to get one. First, you need to be adult Link. It’s also helpful to have obtained the Bolero of Fire for one specific part, though it’s not mandatory. You will need to have unfrozen King Zora in Zora Domain, though, so you’ll have to have at minimum done the Ice Cavern and obtained blue fire to release him from the red ice. Oh, and you’ll also want to have Epona at the ready. The entire questline takes place in the adult era, so no need to swap back and forth between child and adult Link. As adult Link, start off in Kakariko Village by speaking to the Cucco Lady, who’s to your right when you enter town from Hyrule Field, minding her Cuccos. She’ll give you a Pocket Egg. Wait one day (or play Sun’s Song twice to speed things along) and it will hatch into a Pocket Cucco. Take that to the big house near the center of Kakariko Village where Talon is sleeping, and use the Pocket Cucco next to him to wake him up. Then, go back to the Cucco Lady and she’ll trade you the Pocket Cucco for the adorable blue Cojiro. © Nintendo Take Cojiro out to the Lost Woods. From the entrance head left to where Skull Kid used to hang out in child era, and you’ll find a man sleeping against a tree stump. Use Cojiro next to him to wake him up, and he’ll give you an Odd Mushroom, asking you to take it to an old lady back in Kakariko…in four minutes flat. © Nintendo Warning: Don’t do what I did and try to do this part of the quest right between Water Temple and Shadow Temple. The cutscene for Kakariko Village triggered as I entered, and in the time it took to play out, my timer for the quest ran out and I had to go back and get another mushroom from the guy. © Nintendo You can call Epona from the exit of Kokiri Forest and ride her fast to Kakariko and you’ll easily make it on time. Using a warp song like the Nocturne of Shadow will spoil your time, so don’t do it, though there’s no real reason to in this situation. The old lady is easily reached by entering the potion shop, exiting through the back door, and then walking through the backyard to the house next door. Show her the Odd Mushroom, and receive the Odd Poultice in return. You now have to return to the man in the Lost Woods, but there’s no time limit this time, so feel free to mosey at a leisurely pace. © Nintendo However, when you return to Kokiri Forest, the man isn’t there. Instead, Fado is waiting for you. She says some ominous stuff about humans turning into Stalfos, and gives you the Poacher’s Axe, with very little direction as to who it needs to go to. Fortunately, you have this guide! © Nintendo Your destination is just outside Gerudo Valley. You can cross the bridge freely if you’ve already finished the Spirit Temple, or you can use Epona to leap over the gap. The Master Craftsman is there, and he’ll take the saw from you and give you a Broken Goron Sword in return. © Nintendo Now we’re getting somewhere, I guess. Use the Bolero of Fire if you have it to get up to Death Mountain in a jiffy (don’t forget to equip your Goron Tunic), or just walk. You’re aiming for the summit, where Biggoron is hanging out, hammering away. Give him the Broken Goron Sword to fix, but he can’t do it without eyedrops. He hands you a prescription, which you’ll need to take to King Zora back in Zora Domain. © Nintendo Whew. Almost done. King Zora will give you the Eyeball Frog, which needs to go back to the scientist in the hut at Lake Hylia in just two and a half minutes. If you’ve already thawed out Zora’s Domain, this is a quick trip through the underwater tunnel. Otherwise, you’d better sprint: you can’t use Serenade of Water, or the frog will spoil. © Nintendo The Lake Scientist can make your medicine, but it once again comes with a timer, and this one’s a doozy. You need to get all the way from Lake Hylia to the summit of Death Mountain, and you can’t warp. Using the Bolero of Fire (or any other warp) will cut the time on your medicine down to just ten seconds, and there’s no way to get from the center of Death Mountain Crater outside to Biggoron in that short a time. Head outside the scientist’s house instead, and call Epona. Ride like the wind across Hyrule Field, through Kakariko, and up Death Mountain, dodging boulders as you go. You have a little bit of wiggle room on the timer if you get hit by rocks a few times, but don’t dilly dally. © Nintendo Biggoron is thrilled, and gets to work on your sword. It’s going to take three days to make, so he gives you a receipt to hang onto for the pickup. You can either go do other stuff for three in-game days, or play the Sun’s Song six times to speed things along. At the end of it, show him the receipt, and the Biggoron Sword is yours at last. © Nintendo
