In [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|''Majora's Mask'']], the Goron race appears much the same as in ''Ocarina of Time''. In [[Termina]], the Goron population is nestled high in the mountains near [[Mountain Village]] and [[Snowhead]], their chief settlement being the adjacent [[Goron Village]]. It is in these mountains that the Gorons practice [[Goron Race|Goron racing]], a prized pasttime in which many are put head-to-head to see who can complete the [[Goron Racetrack|race track]] the fastest. It is also here that Link can receive training in the use of [[Powder Keg|powder kegs]], as well as acquisition of the essential [[Goron Mask]] from the former Goron champion, [[Darmani]]. | In [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|''Majora's Mask'']], the Goron race appears much the same as in ''Ocarina of Time''.

Due to the [[Skull Kid|Skull Kid's]] interference, the mountains have become permanently embroiled in a harsh winter, inflicting heavy suffering onto the local Gorons. It is because of this that the [[Goron Elder (Majora's Mask)|Goron Elder]], their leader, has set out to confront the evil in the nearby [[Snowhead Temple]], but to no avail. His departure has moreover struck the ire of his own [[Goron Elder's Son|infant son]], whose constant weeping bemoans all who have taken refuge inside the [[Goron Shrine]]. Link calms the child by use of the [[Goron's Lullaby]], consequently enabling his entry into the Snowhead Temple. After Link's defeat of [[Goht]], spring returns to the mountains once again. | Due to the [[Skull Kid|Skull Kid's]] interference, the mountains have become permanently embroiled in a harsh winter, inflicting heavy suffering onto the local Gorons.

In [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|''The Wind Waker'']], Gorons are very few in number, likely due to their aversion to water. They are quite small in stature in contrast to past depictions, though they are still larger than the majority of human characters. During [[Link (The Wind Waker)|Link's]] adventure, there are only three individuals to be found—all of which are traveling merchants. It is unknown as to the whereabouts of any permanent Goron settlement, and these characters never make mention of their race. Their faces are kept obscured by the hats that they don and the brims of them can be blown upwards by the swing of a [[Deku Leaf]], revealing their true identities. | In [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|''The Wind Waker'']], Gorons are very few in number, likely due to their aversion to water.
