The Biggoron Sword is considered the strongest sword in the Ocarina of Time Remake, but it’s the most tedious to get.

This weapon is a two-handed sword that deals twice the amount of damage as the Master Sword. It is the strongest melee weapon, offering massive damage output with longer reach. It's also an indestructible weapon. The only major con is that you can't use a shield while using the Biggoron Sword.

Want it? Here's how to get it.

How to Get the Biggoron Sword in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake

You can start the journey to get the Biggoron Sword as soon as Link becomes an adult in Ocarina of Time. Which is great, because the journey to secure the weapon is long.

To get the Sword, you'll need to progress through the "From a Pocket Egg Comes..." quest given to you by the Cucco Lady in Kakariko Village. To start, head to the Village and talk to the Cucco Lady. She will give you a Pocket Egg that will hatch into a Pocket Cucco at dawn.

Now, you can wait it out. But it would be faster to play the Sun's Song on the ocarina until the egg hatches. When the egg is close to hatching, you need to find someone to wake up with the Pocket Cucco.

Head into the house northeast of the Shooting Gallery. On the first floor, you'll find Talon sleeping in a bed. Take out the Pocket Cucco, and Talon will wake up. He'll go running with the white dog Richard from Hyrule Castle Town. Once he's awake, return to the Cucco Lady, and she'll give you another chicken, Cojiro.

You'll be tasked with finding the Cucco Lady's older brother (The Master Craftsman's Son), who is located in the Lost Woods. Head to the Kokiri Forest entrance, then turn left, and you'll find him sitting next to the tree Skull Kid used to be on. Approach him and use the Cojiro to wake him up.

Once he is awake, he'll inform you that he needs to drop the Odd Mushroom off at Granny's Cauldron. He'll ask you to do it - and you must be quick.

In four minutes or less, you need to bring the Odd Mushroom to Granny's Cauldron in Kakariko Village. If you take too long, the Mushroom will rot. Take note that you can't use any songs to warp during this part of the quest.

When you arrive at Granny's Cauldron, show Granny the Odd Mushroom. She will then give you Odd Poultice, which you need to give to the Master Craftsman's Son. You'll return to Kokiri Forest only to discover he's gone, and Fado has taken his place. Give her the Odd Poultice, and she'll give you the Poacher's Saw in exchange.

Head over to Gerudo Valley, which is located on the west side of Hyrule Field. Cross the bridge with Epona, and you'll come across the Master Carpenter. Give them the Poacher's Saw, and they'll give you the Broken Goron Sword.

With the broken sword, head to the top of the Death Mountain Trail. At the top, you'll meet a big Goron named Biggoron (yup, a pretty straightforward name). He has a big problem - he got ash in her eyes, and they're very itchy. He'll give you a prescription for some eye drops, and you'll have to get them for him.

You must now head into the Ice Cavern to collect some blue fire and melt King Zora. After you've melted him, show him the prescription, and he'll inform you that you need to take the Eyeball Frog ingredient to the scientist located at the Lakeside Laboratory at Lake Hylia.

This is another task where you need to be quick. Take the Eyeball Frog and head to the scientist at Lake Hylia in two and a half minutes. Again, no songs can be used to warp time here. Once you give them the Eyeball Frog, the Lake Scientist will give you Specialty Eye Drops for Biggoron. However, it will only be fresh for three and a half minutes.

You guessed it - you need to get back to Biggoron in that time. Once you make it back to the top of Death Mountain Trail, give Biggoron the Specialty Eye Drops. You will get the Biggoron Receipt, but you need to wait three in-game days to claim it.

Use the Sun's Song to speed up time, and then speak with Biggoron again. Hand over the receipt to him, and you'll receive the Biggoron Sword.
