Biggoron's Sword: Difference between revisions

Biggoron's Sword is rewarded for completing the [[Ocarina of Time Biggoron's Sword Trading Sequence|trading sequence]] in the future. At the end of the sequence, [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] will obtain the [[Broken Goron's Sword]], which [[Biggoron]] can reforge into his eponymous blade. The sword functions as an indestructible version of the [[Giant's Knife]]{{Ref|OoT|12|}} - it deals double damage compared to the [[Master Sword]] and has a longer reach, making it the strongest sword in the game. However, due to it being a greatsword, Link must hold it with both hands and cannot equip a [[Shield (Item)|shield]] while using it.

Despite its strength, Biggoron's Sword is overshadowed during the final boss, as [[Ganon]] takes reduced damage from all sources except the Master Sword, which is required to deal the finishing blow. However, Biggoron's Sword is still useful during the fight, when Link loses the Master Sword.

==''Oracle of Seasons'' & ''Oracle of Ages''==

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', Biggoron's Sword can only be obtained by using a specific password: to learn it, Link must receive the password from Biggoron in ''Oracle of Seasons'', or the [[Goron Elder (Oracle of Ages)|Goron Elder]] in ''Oracle of Ages'' - in the latter case, Link must tell him the [[Elder Secret]] and then score 300 points at the [[Goron Shooting Gallery]]. The password can then be entered in a [[Linked Game]] to receive the sword.

 

Biggoron's Sword is the strongest sword in the game. It deals damage equivalent to the [[Master Sword]], but is swung in a 180° arc, compared to the 90° arc of the other available swords - it is also able to one-shot [[Armos]]. However, since it is a greatsword, Biggoron's Sword takes up both the A and B buttons when equipped, meaning that Link cannot use other [[Item|items]] alongside it.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', Biggoron's Sword is an [[amiibo (Rune)|amiibo-exclusive weapon]]. To obtain it, [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] must scan a "Link (Ocarina of Time)" [[amiibo]]; the sword can be found as a random drop, but only if Link has freed at least one [[Divine Beast]]. It has a base power of 50 and a durability of 60, making it the most durable amiibo melee weapon in the game.

|A masterfully crafted long sword forged by the best blacksmith in Hyrule, [[Biggoron]], who lives on [[Death Mountain]]. Designed specifically for Link, it is made to be wielded with one hand. Even so, swinging it with full force gets tiring after a while.
