Head back to the left and leave the Lost Woods through its entrance to the right. Turn to the right from the entrance of the Lost Woods and head straight for the Village Entrance. Run through the tunnels and everything leading into the Kokiri Village.

Once you reach the open field of Hyrule Field, immediately use Epona’s Song to call her to Link. Mount and start galloping for Kakariko Village. Dismount when you reach the entrance stairs leading into Kakariko Village. Sprint up the stairs and into the village.

Inside Kakariko Village, you will want to go up the ramp on the left-hand side. Immediately head for the Potion Shop. Go inside the building and over to the hallway to the left of the counter. Go through the door there. Back outside, head to the House just to the South of the Potion Shop. Take the stairs up and go through the door. This will get you into Granny’s Cauldron.

With the Broken Goron Sword, Link will now need to head for Death Mountain.

Travel to the Death Mountain Crater and leave out the entrance to the mountain face. Just to the left of the entrance into the crater, you will find the Biggoron. Biggoron will be rubbing their eyes. He’ll gladly agree to repair the Broken Goron Sword, but can’t do the work because of the ash from the eruptions. He will take the Broken Goron Sword and give Link the Prescription.

Time to travel to Zora’s Domain. You can travel to Lake Hylia using Serenade of Water and use the Shortcut found among the columns coming out of the water.

King Zora will tell you that you will need to head for the Laboratory at Lake Hylia to get the Eyedrops that you will need.

Now you just need to wait 3 days. If you have the Sun’s Song, all you need to do is use it to quickly pass the time. After that has passed, return and talk with the Biggoron. He’ll thank you for your patience, remark on how big it is to Link, and give you the Biggoron Sword.

The Biggoron thanks you for your patience to get the sword.

The Biggoron Sword is twice as powerful as the Mastersword. It’s swings are a little slower and Link can’t use a Shield. It won’t be able to defeat Ganondorf, but it can still be used to bring him to his knees.
