Ocarina of Time The Trading Quest

[Fiery Klongo]

Has anyone done the "Trading Quest" and been satisfied with the results? When I got the sword my first thought was WILL THIS BREAK?:hmm: My experiences have shown me that it is a very reliable sword that wont break and will kill most monsters in one swing. Do you guys think its worth it? the sword?

 

[Linkmeister]

its totally worth it when you finally get it. especially in Oot3D because the sword gets its own sheathe finally

The Biggoron's sword will NEVER break, and this sword is gotten from the trading quest. The Biggoron's sword does 2x the damage of the master sword, so of course you'll kill many monsters in one hit.

I love it, the Biggoron Sword is the best weapon in the game I think. It comes at the cost of no shield but all the damage it causes plus using a few glitches (only in N64/GC versions), you can speedrun through all bosses in the game. Also since the trading quest isn't really that long once you get a few warp songs and Epona, getting the 2 handed blade is a breeze once you memorize how to do it/use a walkthrough ^^

Well, first before I get into anything, I want to point out that sidequests - although time-consuming - should normally done, cause the rewards will always help you. Now anyways, the trading sequence - aside from a few annoying timed parts - is an overall very easy thing. You might run across Hyrule multiple times, but the fact that you have Epona makes it less of a bother. The reward - the Biggoron sword - is definitely one of the best weapons in the game. It does 2x the damage than the master sword and even looks cool.

Although you sacrifice using a shield, the sword is so powerful that a shield probably isn't needed. Like you said, it can't break and the fact that it's there forever is nice to know. Overall, the trading sequence was easy and the reward was well worth the 30 minutes or less you spent doing it.

It really makes those Iron Knuckles that you run into towards the end of the game less of a pain. Less dying, more killing. Yay!

Completely worth it. I thought the trade off quest was actually kind of fun.

 

[WhiteRundas]

Probably the best weapon you can get after a trading sequence. It makes many bigger enemies and bosses easier.
The only part that annoys me is the last part of the sequence.

I loved the sequence and it was well worth going through because the sword even looks cool along with being strong.

I have a question about this trading quest: Is it possible to do it without Epona? Because I can't win her for the life of me, and I really want the Biggoron sword.

YOU POOR THING! How have you survived the game without her? D:
So much walking! (Well, mostly through Hyrule field, but still.)

 

[KupKate95]

Well, it's not been too bad. I've gotten used to it.

Anyway, back on topic--do we need Epona, or can we do the timed sequences on foot?

No, it's required that you have Epona to beat the timed parts, especially the last one. Link isn't near fast enough.

 

[KupKate95]

I beat the first timed part without her, but I guess the other ones are impossible to beat without her?

 

[Fullmetal]

I definately think the trading quest was worth it. It really helped me out later on. Plus, it makes fighting Ganondorf easier.
