— Biggoron

Biggoron is a recurring character in the Legend of Zelda series. As his name suggests, he is a massive Goron and is comparable in size to Death Mountain. Due to his size, he usually resides outside the Goron settlement or on top of a mountain. Although he appears in many games, it is unknown if the same Biggoron reappears in each game, or if it is a different Biggoron entirely.

[edit] Appearances

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Biggoron makes his first appearance in Ocarina of Time. He resides on the summit of Death Mountain and is actually unnoticeable until Link approaches him, causing him to sit up. Link must take the Broken Goron's Sword to Biggoron for repair during the Quest for Biggoron's Sword. Biggoron's eyes, however, have been affected by the smoke and ash from the recent eruptions of Death Mountain. Before he can repair the sword, he sends Link to make Eye Drops to cure the irritation. After giving them to Biggoron, he repairs the broken sword and gives Link Biggoron's Sword.

Biggoron also has a brother, named Medigoron. Unfortunately, he is not as talented of a smithy as his brother, and can only make the brittle Giant's Knife. He resides in Medigoron's Blade Store, on the second level of Goron City.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

By the powers of the evil Skull Kid, Biggoron has been cursed and turned invisible. He sits at the far end of the narrow pathway leading to the Snowhead Temple, blowing gusts of wind that prevent Link from walking on the path. Biggoron was the cause of the death of Darmani, who claims to have been blown off the path leading to the temple. Link can access the temple only after learning all the notes for the "Goron's Lullaby". Link plays the song for Biggoron on his Drums of Sleep — Biggoron is rendered visible again, and falls into the great ravine under the Snowhead Temple. Once Goht has been defeated and spring has returned to Snowhead, he will stand outside the Snowhead Temple, claiming that he has no recollection of what he had been doing.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons

Biggoron lives atop Goron Mountain and is suffering from a terrible head cold. After Link gives him the Lava Soup, he is instantly cured and gives him the Goron Vase in gratitude.

If a secret is obtained from a linked Oracle of Ages game and is told to Biggoron, he will give Link Biggoron's Sword and a secret to so that Link can obtain it in the linked Oracle of Ages save file.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

Biggoron lives in the mountains near Veil Falls. He will only appear if Link fuses kinstones with one of the gorons in the cave near Lon Lon Ranch. If Link gives him his small shield, he will eat it, as shields are apparently a treat for Biggoron. In return, he gives him a better shield—the Mirror Shield.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Biggoron is the leader of Goron Island. Although he is not as big as the Biggoron from other games, he is still the largest Goron on the island. His son is named Gongoron. Upon arriving at the island, he asks Link a series of questions about the island and its inhabitants. For each question Link gets right, he receives Rupees as a reward. If he answers all six questions in a row correctly, he is given the name "Goro-Link" and is required to pay a fee of the exact amount of rupees he won. Now that he is an initiated member of the Gorons, Link is allowed to enter the northwestern part of the island into the temple. It holds the first of the three Pure Metals required to forge the Phantom Sword.
