In [[Goron City]], [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] can go to the second floor where [[Medigoron's Blade Store]] is found. It is blocked by stone walls, which Link can simply blow up with [[Bomb]]s or [[Bomb Flower]]s. If Link speaks with [[Medigoron]], he will tell him that he is working on "something really cool", which will take him five or six years to finish. When Link returns as an adult, he can purchase Medigoron's small sword for 200 Rupees. However, after hitting it eight times or four times at enemies, it breaks, and is reduced to the power of the [[Kokiri Sword]].

==How to Get It==
As a two-handed weapon, Link cannot use his shield while wielding it, and will only bend down if the shield button is pressed with it in-hand. It does twice as much damage as the [[Master Sword]].{{Ref|OoT|80|In-Game Description}}
First of all, [[Link]] needs two hundred [[Rupee]]s, which can only be held with the [[Adult's Wallet]]. Once Link has these things, he can head to [[Goron City]]. Once he enters he can down to the second level where there are some bombable walls. Blow them up with the [[Bomb Flower]]s close by, or Link's own [[bomb]]s. He will then find a [[Goron]] called [[Medigoron]] selling the Giant's Knife. If Link purchases the item, he willl discover that it uses two hands, so he can't use his [[shield]]. In addition, it will break after hitting an enemy or the wall a few times. The [[Biggoron's Sword]] will later replace the Giant's Knife. It has all of the same abilities but it will not break.


There is a similar blade made by [[Biggoron]] that Link can acquire after completing the [[Ocarina of Time Biggoron's Sword Trading Sequence|Trading Sequence]]. Unlike the Giant's Knife, Biggoron's Sword never breaks.{{Ref|OoT|12|In-Game Description}}
==Trivia==
*In ''Ocarina of Time'' (N64), the Giant's Knife and Biggoron's Sword are cosmetically identical. This was changed in ''Ocarina of Time 3D'', such that the Giant's Knife has a brown leather grip and blue pommel and the Biggoron's Sword has a white leather grip and gold pommel.

The Giant's Knife is an item in Ocarina of Time. It is a powerful, but fragile two-handed sword.

Ocarina of Time

"A large, keen, yet easily broken, blade. You can't use a shield while wielding it."

Ocarina of Time 3D in-game description.

In Goron City, Link can go to the second floor where Medigoron's Blade Store is found. It is blocked by stone walls, which Link can simply blow up with Bombs or Bomb Flowers. If Link speaks with Medigoron, he will tell him that he is working on "something really cool", which will take him five or six years to finish. When Link returns as an adult, he can purchase Medigoron's small sword for 200 Rupees. However, after hitting it eight times or four times at enemies, it breaks, and is reduced to the power of the Kokiri Sword. It can be repaired by Medigoron for another 200 Rupees, but will break again in use.

As a two-handed weapon, Link cannot use his shield while wielding it, and will only bend down if the shield button is pressed with it in-hand. It does twice as much damage as the Master Sword.[1]

There is a similar blade made by Biggoron that Link can acquire after completing the Trading Sequence. Unlike the Giant's Knife, Biggoron's Sword never breaks.[2]

Trivia
