Giant's Knife

are recurring in the .
==Location and Uses==
======
In order to obtain the Giant's Knife in , Link must open Medigoron's shop with his Bombs as a child. When spoken to as a child, Medigoron tells the young hero that he is working on "something really cool," but that it will take five to six years to complete. When Link returns as an adult, the Giant's Knife will be finished, and it may be purchased, but it is very expensive - at the cost of 200 Rupees.
The Giant's Knife is a very large sword that looks identical to the Biggoron's Sword and shares the same raw power with double the strength of the Master Sword. However, due to the horrifically slow and cheap construction by Medigoron, the blade is extremely fragile in contrast to the Biggoron's Sword and will entirely break off after just 8 hits or immediately if Link strikes a solid wall, turning it into the "Broken Giant's Knife." Unlike a broken Deku Stick, however, the Broken Giant's Knife can still be used in combat, but its strength is severely reduced to only 1/4 its normal amount, consequently the same as the Kokiri Sword, and its reach will be drastically shorter. While wielding the Broken Giant's Knife, the Spin Attack cannot be used. The Giant's Knife can be replaced but will cost another 200 Rupees with the same problems.
The Giant's Knife can only be used by Link as an adult and must be held with two hands, thereby precluding the use of a Shield, even when broken.
With all of the aforementioned downsides, the Giant's Knife is one of the most unreliable weapons in The Legend of Zelda series.
==Other Appearances==
======
The Giant's Knife appears as Impa's starting weapon in . It does not resemble the Giant's Knife from , instead more resembling an actual giant-sized knife. It was crafted by the finest Goron smithy and is strenuous for other to use, despite its raw power. It is obtained after completing the first chapter.
By pressing the Strong Attack button, Impa can dash into enemies.
==Trivia==
*Strangely, if Link were to avoid ever obtaining a Giant's Knife and then were to instead skip to getting the Biggoron's Sword, Medigoron will still talk to Link as if he has a working, non-broken Giant's Knife even though it is in fact the Biggoron's Sword.
*Considering most real-world swords in the medieval era take about 2 weeks on average to make, while the Giant's Knife took 5 or 6 years, it is quite clear Medigoron is not very skilled as a blacksmith, as explained by Biggoron.
* contains unused text for the Giant's Knife, meant to be displayed when it is exchanged for the Biggoron's Sword, provided that Link possesses the Giant's Knife. The final version makes no mention of the replacement, and instead the Giant's Knife text is simply discarded. This text is used in , however.
*The Giant's Knife, alongside with the Deku Stick, are the first items in the series that will break or wear down after regular use. It is succeeded by the Razor Sword in Majora's Mask, and the items Link can obtain in and Tears of the Kingdom.
*The Decayed Master Sword in Tears of the Kingdom is very similar to the broken Giant's Knife in that the sacred weapon indeed has its blade broken off by the Gloom, and consequently had bare minimum damage of 1 and drastically reduced reach.
