The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Guide | How to Get Biggoron’s Sword

Biggoron's Sword is the strongest blade in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, dealing twice the damage of the Master Sword.

Getting it takes a lot of running around Hyrule, though. You have to complete the From a Pocket Egg Comes... side quest, which sends you back and forth across the map on three strict timed runs where warp songs are disabled.

You can start this chain as soon as Link becomes an adult. Before you get too far, make sure you have a bottle of Blue Fire from the Ice Cavern to thaw King Zora, and unlock Epona so you can cross Hyrule Field quickly. Here is how to complete every trade and beat the clock.

Hatch the Pocket Egg and Wake Up Talon

Head to Kakariko Village as an adult and speak to the Cucco Lady near the chicken pen to get a Pocket Egg. It hatches into a Pocket Cucco at dawn, so play the Sun's Song on your ocarina to pass the time right away in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Walk to the house northeast of the Shooting Gallery, where you will see Richard the white dog running around outside with his owner.

Go inside and check the bed on the first floor to find Talon fast asleep. Use the Pocket Cucco next to him to wake him up. Once he runs back to Lon Lon Ranch, return to the Cucco Lady and she will reward you with Cojiro, a blue Cucco.

Find the Brother in the Lost Woods

Take Cojiro into the Lost Woods from the Kokiri Forest entrance and turn left immediately. You will spot the Cucco Lady's big brother sitting by the tree stump where Skull Kid used to hang out. Use Cojiro to wake him up, and he will give you an Odd Mushroom in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Complete the Odd Mushroom Timed Run

You have four minutes to bring the Odd Mushroom to Granny's Cauldron in Kakariko Village before it spoils, and you cannot use any warp songs. From the brother's spot in the Lost Woods, go straight, turn left, and head straight again to reach the shortcut to Goron City.

Exit out to Death Mountain Trail and run all the way down into Kakariko Village. Enter the Potion Shop on your left, go through the back door next to the clerk, and enter the small shack on the right to hand Granny the Odd Mushroom.

Hold the dash button to move faster, and pause the game if you need a moment to check your bearings.

Trade the Odd Poultice to Fado

Granny gives you the Odd Poultice in exchange for the mushroom. This step has no timer, so take whichever route you want back to the Lost Woods.

When you reach the tree stump, the brother will be gone and Fado will be standing there instead. Give her the Odd Poultice to receive the Poacher's Saw in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Visit the Master Carpenter and Biggoron

Ride west across Hyrule Field into Gerudo Valley, jump the broken bridge with Epona, and talk to the Master Carpenter standing near the tent. Hand over the Poacher's Saw to get the Broken Goron Sword.

Next, make your way to the summit of Death Mountain Trail, right outside the Fire Temple entrance. You can play the Bolero of Fire to warp straight to the crater and step outside.

Talk to Biggoron, the giant Goron sitting on the peak. He will offer to fix the Broken Goron Sword, but volcanic ash has irritated his eyes, so he gives you a Prescription for eye drops.

Thaw King Zora for the Eyeball Frog

Travel to Zora Domain and use Blue Fire from a bottle to melt the red ice around King Zora. Once he is thawed, show him Biggoron's Prescription. He does not have the drops ready, so he gives you an Eyeball Frog instead.

You only have two and a half minutes to deliver the Eyeball Frog to the Lake Scientist at Lake Hylia without using warp songs. If you have already beaten the Water Temple, swim through the underwater tunnel in Zora Domain that leads straight to Lake Hylia.

Otherwise, run out through Zora River, call Epona in Hyrule Field, and gallop straight south to the Lakeside Laboratory before the clock runs out in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Deliver the Specialty Eye Drops and Claim Your Sword

The Lake Scientist mixes up the Specialty Eye Drops, and you have three and a half minutes to get them back to Biggoron without warping. Step outside the lab, play Epona's Song (X - Y - A - X - Y - A), and ride north across Hyrule Field toward Kakariko Village.

Dismount at the stairs, sprint up Death Mountain Trail, and dodge the falling boulders on your way to the top to receive the Biggoron Receipt.

Biggoron needs three days to forge the blade. Stand right next to him and play the Sun's Song six times to skip through three full days and nights.

Talk to him again, show your receipt, and he will hand over Biggoron's Sword. Because it is a massive two-handed weapon, Link cannot hold a shield while using it, so keep that in mind during tough fights in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
