The Big Bridge is a location in Final Fantasy V on the second and third worlds, though only accessible in the second world, as it serves as a passage between the mainland and the Island Shrine in the third world.
Since its debut in Final Fantasy V, a location by the name Big Bridge, or simply a bridge of any kind, has become a recurring location for sighting Gilgamesh, whose boss music is "Battle at the Big Bridge".

Story[]
Gilgamesh is waiting on the Big Bridge.
After Galuf breaks his friends out of Castle Exdeath, they cross the Big Bridge teeming with monsters. Halfway, Gilgamesh attacks them, casts support spells on himself as a last resort, but loses regardless and runs off. Exdeath activates the Barrier Towers before Galuf and friends can reach the other side, which propels them all the way to Gloceana.
After the skirmish enemies stop appearing on the bridge. In the Merged World, it appears right where the Island Shrine is, allowing the party to enter.
