'''Gorons''' are a recurring race in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. Massively heavy and equally as hardy, the Gorons' sturdy exteriors and hulking statures grant them impressive strength and defense in comparison to other races. They are fond of mountainous regions for their abundance in stone, the Gorons' preferred form of sustenance. Furthermore, their unique anatomy enables them to easily traverse these areas by way of curling into a ball and rolling about. Though slow and lumbering while standing, Gorons can achieve very high speeds when in this position. | |||
It is said that Gorons are born from the rocks of [[Death Mountain]], though the specifics of this process are unknown. Every Goron is assumed to be male, as all refer to themselves as such, and the virtues of Goron society seem to have been heavily steered by this. Confidence and physical strength hold great value to the Gorons and many are further defined by an easy-going demeanor. They are skilled in the making of weaponry, such as bombs and swords, and are known to operate vast mines as a means of gathering food. | |||
==''Ocarina of Time''== | |||
Gorons first debuted in [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|''Ocarina of Time'']], in which they inhabit [[Goron City]] on top of [[Death Mountain]]. The Gorons are depicted as a tough, prideful, and jolly race of creatures; a standard that has remained constant throughout the series. They hold much respect for the [[Royal Family of Hyrule]] and were long ago trusted with the safekeeping of the Spiritual Stone of Fire, also known as the [[Goron's Ruby]]. | |||
On [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link's]] initial arrival to Death Mountain as a child, the residents of Goron City are struggling with food security on account of [[Dodongo's Cavern]], the Gorons' primary source of rocks, having been sealed off by a large boulder. Additionally, it is now inhabited by a gigantic monster known as [[King Dodongo]], further complicating the harvest of stone. [[Darunia]], leader of the Gorons, bestows upon Link the [[Goron's Bracelet]] and sends him to rid the cavern of evil, later resulting in the resumption of mine operations. | |||
Upon Link's return as an adult, the Gorons are troubled once again, as most have been imprisoned in the nearby [[Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Fire Temple]]. The Gorons are freed by Link after his slaying of [[Volvagia]], an ancient dragon previously known for eating Gorons that had been resurrected by [[Ganondorf]]. | |||
===Notable Gorons=== | |||
[[Darunia]], as the so-called "big boss" of the Gorons, is the most important Goron encountered in ''Ocarina of Time''. It is through him that Link receives the Goron's Bracelet, enabling his entry into Dodongo's Cavern. Though fickle upon first meeting, Darunia is soothed by [[Saria's Song]], revealing his love for song and dance. After Link completes the Fire Temple, Darunia is awakened as the [[Sage|Sage of Fire]]. | |||
[[Biggoron]] is an individual known for his skilled craftsmanship. He is a known acquaintance of the [[Master Craftsman]] and is the apparent creator of the [[Broken Goron's Sword]]. If Link obtains the weapon via the [[Trading Sequence]] he can bring it to Biggoron for repairs. After which, he will receive an incredibly powerful weapon known as [[Biggoron's Sword]]. Biggoron is additionally noted for his incredibly large size, being dozens of times larger than any other Goron in [[Hyrule]], including [[Medigoron]], his younger brother. | |||
==''Majora's Mask''== | |||
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]]. | |||
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. | |||
==''Oracle of Seasons''== | |||
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'', the Gorons live on [[Goron Mountain]]. | |||
==''Oracle of Ages''== | |||
In [[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|''Oracle of Ages'']], Gorons again share many similarities with their depiction in ''Ocarina of Time''. The Gorons inhabit [[Rolling Ridge]], an area located in north-eastern [[Labrynna]]. Here, they were previously known for their farming of [[Bomb Flower]]s, but have been recently impeded in their efforts by the [[Great Moblin]] from his fortress atop Rolling Ridge. It is after [[Link (Oracle Series)|Link]]'s defeat of this moblin that the Gorons are once again able to continue this practice. | |||
By traveling between the past and the present, Link can encounter both of the [[Graceful Goron]]s. They are unique in their respective colorings, with the third-generation Goron of the past being red in color, and the fifth-generation Goron of the present being blue. They will each invite Link to dance if spoken to, rewarding him with a prize if he puts on an adequate performance. Also notable is the [[Goron Elder (Oracle of Ages)|Goron Elder]] whom Link rescues from the clutches of a large, fallen boulder. It is after which he proclaims Link a hero and awards him with the [[Crown Key]]. | |||
==''The Wind Waker''== | |||
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. | |||
All three of these Gorons are spread out onto different islands across the flooded Hyrule's area and each take a role in the [[The Wind Waker Trading Sequence|Trading Sequence]], along with [[Zunari]]. They each sell a respective rare item that must be traded to a another Goron in exchange for a different, more valuable item. Through this sequence, Link can obtain a prize of either a [[Piece of Heart]] or the [[Magic Armor]], depending on the circumstances. | |||
==''Four Swords Adventures''== | |||
{{Stub|section}} | |||
==''The Minish Cap''== | |||
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', Gorons are again very few in number, as was the case in ''The Wind Waker'', though they sport an appearance more akin to that of previous titles. | |||
If [[Link (The Minish Cap)|Link]] happens upon the Goron found digging in [[Lon Lon Ranch]], he has the opportunity to fuse a blue [[Kinstone]] with him. Doing so will prompt the appearance of the [[Goron Merchant]] in [[Hyrule Town]], whom is a seller of Kinstones. Later on when Link is able to fuse Kinstones with strange walls, more Gorons will appear in Lon Lon Ranch. When the maximum of six Gorons have appeared, Link can acquire a [[Bottle]]. Additionally, [[Biggoron]] makes an appearance atop the waterfall at [[Veil Springs]] where he will, for Link, craft the [[Mirror Shield]] as part of an optional post-game quest. | |||
==''Twilight Princess''== | |||
In [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|''Twilight Princess'']], the Gorons once more reside on [[Death Mountain]]. Differing from past depictions, individuals are noticeably taller as well as thinner, albeit still incredibly hefty. Extensive body tattoos are now characteristic to adults, whether young or elderly. They commonly dress themselves with fundoshi, a light garment worn around the waist, likely a parallel to real-world sumo wrestlers. Their nature is remarkably more xenophobic, hindering [[Link (Twilight Princess)|Link's]] advances up [[Death Mountain]], but are shown later to be good-natured at the core. | |||
On Link's arrival to Death Mountain, he will have to partake in wrestling matches with several Gorons in order to progress. Though normally impossible for a [[Hylian]] due to the vast weight difference between the two races, Link can equip the [[Iron Boots]] to level the playing field—defeated Gorons curling into balls and acting as springs Link can utilize to reach high places. When Link defeats [[Gor Coron]], a Goron elder, he earns the respect of the Gorons as well as their ceased hostility. | |||
Upon proving himself, Link is informed of the Gorons' troubles. The nearby volcano has been subject to constant eruptions, causing them much dismay. Upon initial investigation, the Gorons' patriarch, [[Darbus]], was transformed into a monster and now rages on in the [[Goron Mines]], leaving Gor Coron to lead in his stead. He sends Link into the mines in order to restore peace, an endeavor in which he is eventually successful. Afterwards, Link can encounter Gorons outside of Death Mountain performing deeds such as building bridges and transporting [[Hot Spring Water]]. | |||
==''Phantom Hourglass''== | |||
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'', Gorons are found on [[Goron Island]]. They protect the valuable [[Crimsonine]], which is needed to forge the [[Phantom Sword]]. Their leader is [[Biggoron]], and his son, [[Gongoron]], assists [[Link (The Wind Waker)#Phantom Hourglass|Link]] in the [[Goron Temple]]. Unlike other series entries, Gorons in ''Phantom Hourglass'' seem to greatly value intelligence. In stark contrast to ''Twilight Princess'', [[Link (Phantom Hourglass)|Link]] must first pass a quiz to gain the Gorons' trust. | |||
==''Spirit Tracks''== | |||
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'', the Gorons live in [[Goron Village]] and the [[Fire Realm]]. It is through them that [[Link (Spirit Tracks)|Link]] obtains the [[Freight Car]]. | |||
==''Skyward Sword''== | |||
[[File:Gorko.png|200px|left|Gorko, a Goron from Skyward Sword]] | |||
Only three Gorons are in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'' and they hold the appearance of the traveling merchant variety from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''. Their names are [[Gorko]], [[Golo]], and [[Gortram]]. Gorko and Golo research ancient legends and Gortram runs the [[Rickety Coaster]] mini-game. | |||
{{clear}} | |||
==''Breath of the Wild''== | |||
[[File:Daruk - BotW art nobg.png|250x250px|right|Champion Daruk, a Goron from Breath of the Wild]] | |||
{{Stub|section}} | |||
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', Gorons live in Goron City on Death Mountain. When [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] gets there in order to free [[Divine Beast]] [[Vah Rudania]] and the Spirit of the [[Daruk|Goron Champion]], he meets [[Bludo]], the Goron Boss, who tells him he needs to find [[Yunobo]], a descendant of Daruk. Once Link does this, he discovers that Yunobo can, as a descendant of Daruk, use [[Daruk's Protection]]. He and Yunobo go to drive back Vah Rudania, and Link goes inside to free the Divine Beast. After Link defeats [[Fireblight Ganon]], and frees Vah Rudania, Daruk gives Link Daruk's Protection. | |||
==''Tears of the Kingdom''== | |||
In Tears of the Kingdom, the Gorons still live in Goron City near Death Mountain. The difference is that every Goron inside the city is focused on either mining [[Marbled Rock Roast]], a version of Rock Roast that has been infected with [[gloom]] and has psychedelic effects, or eating it. [[Yunobo]], the owner of the newfound Yunobo Co., is brainwashed as a result of "Zelda's" gift (which is a wrestling mask). | |||
Once Yunobo's mask is knocked off, he demonstrates his ability to transform into a giant fireball that can break ore, marbled/gloom infected rocks, and rubble. His ability can also damage enemies. The [[Fire Temple]] demonstrates his ability more, as some parts require you to launch Yunobo towards a target. The boss, [[Marbled Gohma]], has to be thrown off balance by sending Yunobo into his legs, as well as sending Marbled Boulders at Link, which can either be destroyed by Yunobo's ability or lifted with recall. | |||
When the Fire Temple is finished, the Marbled Rock Roast disappears and the Gorons are once again enabled to work. Yunobo will also give you his vow. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*[[Goron Link]] obviously cannot survive underwater in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', but in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' a Goron can be found in [[Zora's Domain]], beneath the surface of the water; a young Goron in a Hot Spring also mentions practicing holding his breath, but never needing to come up for air. | |||
*In Japan, "Goron" (ゴロン) is a sound effect for rolling. | |||
*The [[Link the Goron (Ocarina of Time)|son of Darunia]], the Goron that gives [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] the [[Goron Tunic]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', has the same name as Link. | |||
*In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', the Gorons hide their face with a hat, but with a swing of the [[Deku Leaf]], their hats fly off, revealing their face. | |||
*In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', the Gorons [[Lyndae]] and [[Strade]] can be found in [[Gerudo Town]]. They tell Link they are confused as to why they were allowed in, due to Gorons generally all being considered male. | |||
**In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom|Tears of the Kingdom]]'', the Goron [[Kairo]] can be found at the entrance to Gerudo Town, where he is barred from entering. As he heard that Lyndae and Strade got in, he does not understand why he is being turned back. The guards simply attempt to deny that the other Gorons had been granted entry. | |||
*If two Gorons are not biologically related, but are born around the same time and place, they may consider themselves "rock brothers".{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom|Tears of the Kingdom]]''.|Gorons are born of the land, ya see. Volcon and I were born from the same place, so you could say we're rock brothers.|[[Tray]]}} | |||
