Darunia: Difference between revisions

Darunia is the patriarchal leader of the [[Goron]] Tribe located on [[Death Mountain]] in [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]. He is notable for his large temper and significant size and girth. Like other [[Gorons]] he bears markings resembling the [[Gorons]] prized treasure, the [[Goron]]'s Ruby, also known as the [[Spritual Stone of Fire]].

[[Link]] first meets Darunia within [[Goron City]], an enormous cavern built within [[Death Mountain]]. [[Link]] plays [[Zelda's Lullaby]] to gain access to his room, however upon seeing [[Link]], Darunia is insulted as he was expecting the messenger of the royal family, not a child. [[Link]] manages to lighten Darunia's heart however by playing him [[Saria's Song]], which sends him into an amusing dance. Afterwards, Darunia listens to [[Link]]'s plight and agrees to give him the spiritual stone but only if he defeats the [[Dodongos]] that have infested [[Dodongo's Cavern]]. After [[Link]] accomplishes his task, Darunia considers him a sworn brother and an honorary member of the tribe.

After [[Ganondorf]] gains the [[Triforce of Power]] and takes over [[Hyrule]], [[Link]] assists Darunia in the [[Fire Temple]] located in the [[Death Mountain Crater]]. Darunia insists on taking on [[Volvagia]], a dragon revived by [[Ganondorf]] to terrorize the [[Gorons]], however he is not confident as he does not hold the "legendary hammer", a weapon used long ago by Darunia's ancestor to defeat [[Volvagia]]. Darunia asks [[Link]] to free his brothers which have been imprisoned throughout the [[Fire Temple]]. Eventually, [[Link]] defeats [[Volvagia]] using the [[Megaton Hammer]], Darunia is then revealed as the Sage of Fire.
