Zelda franchise strategy guide/Items/Biggoron's Sword

In Ocarina of Time, the Biggoron's Sword is a weapon rewarded from the immense Goron smith Biggoron after the completion of an optional trading sequence in the form of a side quest. The sword resembles a German Zweihänder, and is identical to the Giant's Knife, another optional weapon in the same game; the Giant's Knife breaks after several uses, while the Biggoron's Sword is indestructible. It is twice as strong as the Master Sword (making it the strongest weapon in the game) and requires two hands to hold; while equipped, Link cannot use a shield. In the final fight with Ganon at the end of the game, the Biggoron's Sword cannot deal the finishing blow. Only the Master Sword can defeat Ganon, likely because of its magical abilities.

The Biggoron's Sword has a cameo in Soul Calibur II, and is used as a very long one-handed sword that Link partners with the usual Hylian Shield.

A similar sword, called the Great Fairy's Sword, appears in Majora's Mask. It has the same use as the Biggoron's Sword (twice as strong as the Gilded Sword, also needs both hands to use), but is green/purple in color and is a C-button item. Link receives this from the Stone Tower Temple Great Fairy if he can retrieve all fifteen Stray Fairies inside that temple. This sword also has a cameo in Soul Calibur II as Link's best weapon, with increased attack plus the effect of healing with every swing.
