A giant, two-handed sword, a weapon more powerful than the Master Sword, is up for grabs in Ocarina of Time. That is, of course, if you complete the infamous trading sequence and the nerve-racking clock-based puzzle. Here is how to get the Biggoron’s Sword in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake.
How to get the Biggoron’s Sword in Ocarina of Time
Getting the Biggoron’s Sword is a pretty straightforward process. In simple terms, it is a trading sequence that starts with an egg and ends with the sword in question. At a minimum, you'll need to unlock Epona as your steed as Adult Link.
Pocket Egg
Our journey begins at Kakariko Village with the Cucco Lady.
Talk to her, and she will give you the Pocket Egg.
Wait for a bit or play the Sun’s Song twice, and you will hatch a Pocket Cucco.
Pocket Cucco
Travel to the house opposite the Cucco pen, and you’ll find Talon inside. He is once again sleeping. And once again, it’s time to wake him up, thanks to the Pocket Cucco.
Cojiro
Return to the Cucco Lady, and she will give you the blue Cucco Cojiro in exchange for your Pocket Cucco.
The Cucco Lady’s brother is the recipient of such a colored gift. You can find him in the Lost Woods, looking for extravagant ingredients for her mother, also known as Granny.
Enter the Lost Woods and take a left. You’ll find him sleeping against the tree trunk. Bring out Cojiro, and he’ll wake up, giving you an Odd Mushroom he collected for Granny.
Odd Mushroom
Contrary to the previous items, you’ll have a limited amount of time to deliver the Odd Mushroom. You’ll have to make it to Granny in less than four minutes, and using any warp songs will cause you to fail the quest.
Therefore, ride Epona as fast as you can and deliver the Odd Mushroom to Granny at Granny’s Cauldron.
You can access it via the Potion Shop or through the fence near the windmill if you arrive at night.
She will give you the Odd Poultice.
Odd Poultice
Granny will instruct you to give the Odd Poultice to her son. Once you arrive, however, you’ll find an eerie Fado waiting for you.
Give her the Odd Poultice, and she’ll hand over the Poacher’s Saw.
Poacher’s Saw
Gerudo Valley is next. Head over with Epona and jump over the bridge gap. Alternatively, you can use the Longshot to cover the distance.
Show the Poacher’s Saw to the Master Craftsman, and he will be delighted.
In return, he will give you a Broken Goron Sword.
Broken Goron Sword
The Master Craftsman will point the way for our next step: the very top of Death Mountain.
Just outside the Great Fairy Fountain, Biggoron will be there, ready to fix the Broken Goron Sword. He, however, has some eye issues that you will need to help him with.
As such, he will give you a Prescription for some eye drops. Time to go to Zora’s Domain.
Prescription
If this is your first time stepping into Zora’s Domain as an adult, then you’ll be shocked to find it completely frozen over. Moreover, King Zora, who is supposedly the one with the eye drops, is encased in Red Ice.
The key to freeing King Zora is inside the Ice Cavern in the form of Blue Fire. This mini-dungeon is located on the north side of the area where Jabu-Jabu used to be. If you’re in a hurry, exit the Ice Cavern as soon as you can stash some Blue Fire inside a bottle.
After releasing the Blue Fire next to King Zora and unfreezing him as a result, show him the Prescription. He will give you an Eyeball Frog.
Eyeball Frog
You’ll have two and a half minutes to reach the Lakeside Laboratory at Lake Hylia and give the Eyeball Frog to the Lake Scientist, the hardest step in this trading sequence.
Rush over there by running all the way to Hyrule Field from Zora’s Domain and continuing with Epona, or take the shortcut outside Zora’s Domain to the Lost Woods. Then, arrive at Hyrule Field via Kokiri Forest, and you’ll find yourself near Lake Hylia.
Eye Drops
Time for a final battle against the clock. The Lake Scientist will give you the Eye Drops, and you’ll have to deliver them to Biggoron in less than three minutes.
Fortunately, three minutes will suffice for such a feat. Take Epona and ride to Kakariko Village. Climb all the way up Death Mountain, avoiding boulders and killing the spiders at the last stretch of Death Mountain Trail.
Give the Eye Drops to Biggoron, and after the most pleasant eye drop application you’ll ever witness, he will begin working on the Biggoron’s Sword.
Biggoron Receipt - Biggoron’s Sword
He will give you the Biggoron Receipt, which you will need to present after three days have passed. Use your ocarina to play the Sun’s Song (A-R-X-A-R-X) multiple times until Biggoron finishes his work.
Give him the Receipt, and Biggoron will finally give you the Biggoron’s Sword, concluding the trading sequence and granting you a very powerful sword. Just be mindful that you won’t be able to wield your shield, so focus on attack evasion if you wish to survive with your two-handed weapon equipped.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake is available exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2.
