In {{OoT}}, Biggoron is a gigantic [[Goron]] living on [[Death Mountain]] next to the [[Great Fairy Fountain]]. He is a skilled blade maker,<ref>{{Cite|Hylian carpenterrrrrs praise me forrrrrr my skillssssss. I'm not lyinnnnng...|Biggoron|OoT}}</ref> and creator of the [[Biggoron's Sword#Ocarina of Time|Biggoron's Sword]]. To obtain it, [[Link]] must first complete a [[Ocarina of Time Trading Sequence|trading sequence]]. During the trading sequence, Link brings Biggoron the [[Broken Goron's Sword]] to fix, but finds that Biggoron is unable to because of his irritated eyes. He then sends Link to get some [[Eye Drops]], and gives him a [[Prescription]]. Eventually Link brings back the Eye Drops which clears Biggoron's eyes. He then gives Link the [[Claim Check]] for the Biggoron's Sword, which takes three days to complete. Biggoron has a little brother, [[Medigoron]], who is also into the Sword-making business, although the quality of the [[Giant's Knife|blades]] he produces are inferior.<ref>{{Cite|My Brotherrrr... Opened a new storrrre... It's Medigoron's Blade Storrrrrrrre... Howeverrrrr... I am betterrrrrr at making bladessssss...|Biggoron|OoT}}</ref>

In {{MM}}, Biggoron appears as the guard of the [[Snowhead Temple]]. He goes to [[Snowhead]] to investigate why spring has not yet come,<ref name="Darmani">{{Cite|Darmani!

In a [[Linked Game]] of {{OoA}}, a lone Goron on [[Rolling Ridge]] will provide Link with the [[Biggoron Secret]].
