Biggoron’s Sword is the strongest sword in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. However, it’s also the most time-consuming weapon to get in the entire game.
You’ll need to go on a wild goose chase all around Hyrule, trading items like a blue Cucco named Cojiro and the Poacher’s Saw to people that you most likely never interacted with. This quest is also fairly difficult if you don’t know your way around the map, as you do need to get from point A to point B within a certain amount of time.
Here’s how to get Biggoron’s Sword in Ocarina of Time remake, along with what to do with every item and who to trade them to.
How to get the Biggoron Sword in Zelda Ocarina of Time
You can start your hunt for the Biggoron Sword as soon as you become an adult in Ocarina of Time, but to get the sword, you must bottle some blue fire from the Ice Cavern and thaw King Zora.
To get the Biggoron Sword, you need to progress through the “From a Pocket Egg Comes…” event given to you by the Cucco Lady in Kakariko Village.
- Get the Pocket Cucco from the Cucco Lady in Kakariko Village.
- Wake up Talon in Kakariko Village with the Pocket Cucco.
- Take Cojiro to Cucco Lady’s big brother in the Lost Woods.
- Take the Odd Mushroom to Granny’s Cauldron within four minutes.
- Take the Odd Poultice to the Cucco Lady’s big brother in the Lost Woods.
- Take the Poacher’s Saw to the Master Carpenter in Gerudo Valley.
- Take the Broken Goron Sword to Biggoron at the top of Death Mountain Trail.
- Take the Prescription to King Zora in Zora Domain.
- Take the Eyeball Frog to the Lake Scientist at Lake Hylia within two and a half minutes.
- Take the Specialty Eye Drops to Biggoron within three and a half minutes.
- Wait three days to claim the Biggoron Sword.

‘From a Pocket Egg Comes…’ event quest starting location in Zelda Ocarina of Time
First things first, head to Kakariko Village and talk to the Cucco Lady. She’ll give you a Pocket Egg that will hatch into a Pocket Cucco at dawn. To speed up the process, you can play the Sun’s Song until the egg hatches.
Now, you need to find someone to wake up with the Pocket Cucco.
How to rouse a heavy sleeper with the Pocket Cucco in Zelda Ocarina of Time
Luckily, the heavy sleeper is very close to the Cucco Lady. Head into the house northeast of the Shooting Gallery. You’ll also find Richard, the white dog from Hyrule Castle Town, running around outside with his owner. On the first floor, you’ll find Talon sleeping in a bed. Take out the Pocket Cucco and use it to wake him up. He’ll go running back to Lon Lon Ranch, but now you have to go back to the Cucco Lady.
What to do with Cojiro in Zelda Ocarina of Time
Now, you must find the Cucco Lady’s big brother, who happens to be in the Lost Woods. From the Kokiri Forest entrance, turn left and you’ll find him sitting next to the tree that the Skull Kid used to be on. Walk up to him and use Cojiro to wake him up.
He’ll tell you that he needs to drop something off at Granny’s Cauldron, but you must be quick.
What to do with the Odd Mushroom in Zelda Ocarina of Time
The Master Craftsman’s Son will give you an Odd Mushroom, and you must take it to Granny’s Cauldron in Kakariko Village in four minutes or less, or else it will rot. You cannot use any of the songs to warp during this portion.
The best route that we’ve found is to go through the Lost Woods to the shortcut that takes you to Goron City, which is straight from the area with the Cucco Lady’s big brother, then left and straight. Then, go down Death Mountain Trail into Kakariko Village. Enter the Potion Shop, which is the first building on your left, and go through the door to the left of the shopkeeper. Finally, enter the building on the right, and show Granny the Odd Mushroom.
Remember to hold A to dash, and this should all take you a little over a minute to two minutes. If you forget where to go, you can pause the game at any time, and time will stop.
What to do with the Odd Poultice in Zelda Ocarina of Time
Granny will give you Odd Poultice, which you need to take back to the Master Craftsman’s Son. As this isn’t timed, you can take your sweet time and go through Kokiri Forest or back the way you came.
Once you make it back, you’ll realize that the Master Craftsman’s Son is missing, and Fado has taken his place. Give her the Odd Poultice, and she’ll give you the Poacher’s Saw.
What to do with the Poacher’s Saw in Zelda Ocarina of Time
Take the Poacher’s Saw to Gerudo Valley, which is on the west side of Hyrule Field. Cross the bridge with Epona, and you’ll find the Master Carpenter by the tent. Show them the Poacher’s Saw, and they’ll give you a Broken Goron Sword.
What to do with the Broken Goron Sword in Zelda Ocarina of Time
Take the Broken Goron Sword to the top of Death Mountain Trail. If you completed the Fire Temple, you can use the Bolero of Fire to get there almost immediately. If not, you can climb up Death Mountain Trail, and you’ll find a big Goron named Biggoron at the top.
Unfortunately, a bunch of ash got into their eyes, and now they’re very itchy. Biggoron will give you their prescription, so you can get some eye drops from King Zora.
What to do with the Prescription in Zelda Ocarina of Time
Now we’ve reached the point in the quest where you must head into the Ice Cavern to collect some blue fire and melt King Zora.
After you’ve melted him, show him the prescription from Biggoron, and he’ll tell you that you need to take an ingredient to the scientist at the Lakeside Laboratory at Lake Hylia. However, you’ll need to be quick again.
What to do with the Eyeball Frog in Zelda Ocarina of Time
You need to quickly take the Eyeball Frog to the scientist inside the Lakeside Laboratory at Lake Hylia, and this time you’ll only have two and a half minutes. Again, you can’t use any songs to warp during this portion.
The quickest way to get there is to swim through the shortcut that takes you to Lake Hylia from Zora Domain, but this is only possible if you’ve completed the Water Temple.
The alternative route is to leave Zora Domain through Zora River, and ride Epona over to the laboratory. Just remember that Lake Hylia is the southern exit of Hyrule Field, and you’ll make it with barely any time to spare.
What to do with the Specialty Eye Drops in Zelda Ocarina of Time
The Lake Scientist will give you Specialty Eye Drops to take to Biggoron, but they’ll only stay fresh for three and a half minutes. And no, you still can’t warp using songs during this part.
Call Epona over using Epona’s Song (X- Y – A – X – Y – A), and cross Hyrule Field as fast as you can. Then, go up Death Mountain Trail and try your best to avoid the rolling boulders. Once you make it to the top, give Biggoron the Specialty Eye Drops.
What to do with the Biggoron Receipt in Zelda Ocarina of Time
After you give Biggoron the Specialty Eye Drops, he’ll give you the Biggoron Receipt, but you need to wait three days before you can claim it. You can play the Sun’s Song to speed up the process, and he’ll give you the Biggoron Sword. The Biggoron Sword is a two-handed sword that deals twice the damage of the Master Sword. The only downside is that, because it’s two-handed, you can’t use a shield at the same time.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is a little bit different than the original game, so if you need guides to help you through, we don’t blame you. We have walkthroughs for all the dungeons, from the Deku Tree to Ganondorf’s Castle. We also have guides for the sillier, in-between parts of the game, like when you have to find Richard (the dog) or Cuccos.
For those going for 100% completion, we also have guides on where to find every Piece of Heart, every Gold Skulltula token, and where to plant every Magic Bean.
