It is designed to be a sword for large Gorons, which makes it an especially giant sword for someone such as [[Link]]. Due to its size, Biggoron's Sword has the advantages of being the most powerful sword available (even moreso than the [[Master Sword]], but without its mystical powers) and having a longer reach. Its only drawbacks are that when wielded by a human-like creature such as Link, the sword is somewhat heavy and unwieldy. Link can also only hold it with both hands, which leaves him undefended as he cannot use his [[shield]]. |

These swords were powerful and similar to Biggoron's Sword, but they were not as well made and would shatter after being used too much. To obtain Biggoron's Sword, Link had to complete the game's trading sidequest. A Broken Goron Sword was initially given to Link by [[Mutoh and the Carpenters|Mutoh]] after he returned his old saw to him. Biggoron agreed to repair the sword, but only after Link filled his eye contact prescription. Once Link finally brought him his eye drops, Biggoron spent the next three days reforging the Broken Sword into Biggoron's Sword and gave it to Link. The Biggoron's Sword was part of Link's collection screen as the third and most powerful sword, although the screen could be used to have Link switch between the Master Sword and Biggoron's Sword at will as an adult. |

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'', Link could provide a password from a linked ''Ages'' game at which point Biggoron would forge a Biggoron's Sword for him, due to his desire to make a great sword like the Gorons of old were known for. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', it was instead received from the Goron Elder at Rolling Ridge's Goron Shooting Gallery, but after giving the password, Link first had to complete a minigame using the Biggoron's Sword. Within these games, Biggoron's Sword was presented as a separate inventory item and took up two separate item slots to represent the sword's two-handed requirements. |

*Biggoron's Sword can be unlocked as a weapon for Link in ''Soulcalibur II'', where it is paired with the [[Hylian Shield]]. It raises his attack to 130% and has the additional advantage of its long reach, but as it can only be wielded with one hand, each swing drains Link's health. | *Biggoron's Sword can be unlocked as a weapon for Link in ''Soulcalibur II'', where it is paired with the [[Hylian Shield]].
