Ocarina of Time Biggoron's Sword Trading Sequence
The Ocarina of Time Trading Sequence is an optional trading quest that involves trading twelve items with various people. The reward for completing the sequence is the Biggoron's Sword, a two-handed weapon that deals more damage than the Master Sword. It is very similar to the Giant's Knife, which can be bought at Goron City, but unlike the Giant's Knife, the Biggoron Sword never breaks.
Requirements
Link needs to do two jobs before or during the Trading Sequence. He must free King Zora from the Red Ice and he needs Epona. Young Link can also plant Magic Beans to make the sidequest easier, but this is completely optional.
Items
Pocket Egg
The Pocket Egg is the first item in the trading sequence. Link can get it from the Cucco Lady in Kakariko Village. She wants Link to make the Cucco happy by waking up a very lazy person.[1]
Pocket Cucco
After one night passes, a Pocket Cucco hatches from the collected Egg.[2][3] It needs to be brought to Talon, who sleeps in a house in Kakariko Village.[4] When Link takes out the Pocket Cucco in front of him, he wakes up and returns to Lon Lon Ranch.[5] Link can now go to the Cucco Lady to gather a special Cucco.
Cojiro
After waking up Talon, the Pocket Cucco is happy. The Cucco Lady decides that Link is good enough at taking care of Cuccos that he can handle Cojiro, who used to belong to her brother and is no longer happy now that he has left.[6] Link needs to bring Cojiro to a stranger in the Lost Woods. He gives Link the next item.
Odd Mushroom
The guy in the Lost Woods is asleep when Link first arrives.[7] However, once Link takes out Cojiro, he awakens and asks Link to take the Odd Mushroom to Granny in the potion shop of Kakariko Village.[8] However, it disappears if Link takes longer than three minutes, so he has to move quickly.[9] Warp Songs don't work.
Odd Potion
Granny, who obviously knows the person in the Lost Woods, calls the stranger a "bum" and then demands that Link gives her the Odd Mushroom.[10] She makes the Odd Potion and tells Link to give it to him.[11]
Poacher's Saw
When Link returns to the Lost Woods, he finds that a Kokiri named Fado has taken the place of the man. She tells Link that the previous person became a Stalfos and only his saw is left.[12] She asks for the potion and in return gives him the Poacher's Saw.
Broken Goron's Sword
Link's next destination is Gerudo Valley. After crossing the broken bridge, he can talk to Mutoh, the leader of the Carpenters, who claims the saw is his.[13] If Link returns it, he offers the Broken Goron's Sword.[14][15]
Prescription
The creator of the broken sword is Biggoron, who can be found on top of Death Mountain. Once Link talks to him, he assures Link that his Swords are much better than the Giant's Knives made by his brother.[16] He wants to repair Link's sword for free, but his eyes are irritated by the last eruption, so he cannot fix it.[17] He wants Link to go to Zora's Domain to get some Eye Drops for him.[18] Biggoron gives Link a Prescription.[19]
Eyeball Frog
Once Link arrives at Zora's Domain, he can talk to King Zora. The King tells Link that he only has the ingredients -- the Eyeball Frog. The Lake Scientist can use it to make the World's Finest Eye Drops, but it has to be delivered within three minutes or it will spoil.[20]
World's Finest Eye Drops
The Lake Scientist is surprised to see the Eyeball Frog and thinks that it is for him to eat.[21] However, once Link explains it to him, he quickly makes it.[22] He tells Link that the drops will spoil if they are not delivered to Biggoron within 4 minutes.[23]
Claim Check
Biggoron is very relieved when Link presents the eye drops.[24] He uses them right away and immediately feels better.[25] Now able to continue his sword business, he gives Link the Claim Check and tells him to return after a few days.[26]
Reward
Biggoron's Sword
Finally, once 3 days have passed, Link can show Biggoron the Claim Check get the Biggoron's Sword.[27][28] It is stronger than the Master Sword and does not break.
