'''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 [[Spiritual Stones|Spiritual Stone]] of Fire.
'''Darunia''', also known as the '''Passionate Brother''', is a supporting protagonist in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. He is the patriarchal leader of the [[Goron|Gorons]] and Sworn Brother of the [[Royal Family of Hyrule#Ocarina of Time|King of Hyrule]]. His [[Darunia's Ancestor|ancestor]] was a famed hero, who defeated [[Volvagia]] using the [[Megaton Hammer]]. Darunia eventually awakens as the [[Seven Sages|Sage of Fire]] after [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] completes the [[Fire Temple]] and saves the Gorons from being fed to Volvagia.

Afterwards, Darunia listens to Link's plight and agrees to give him the spiritual stone but only if he defeats the [[Dodongo]]s that have infested [[Dodongo's Cavern]].<ref>{{Cite|OoT|1184|Darunia}}</ref> After Link accomplishes his task, Darunia considers him a sworn brother and an honorary member of the tribe.<ref>{{Cite|OoT|1190|Darunia}}</ref>
==Appearance==
Darunia is a Goron with dull yellow skin and long, spiky hair around his neck and head. He has black markings of the Goron crest on his upper arms, and wears two green armbands around his wrists. He has face paint in the form of two horizontal white lines on either cheek, and has deep blue eyes.


After [[Ganondorf]] gains the [[Triforce of Power]] and takes over [[Hyrule]], Link assists Darunia in the [[Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Fire Temple]] located in the [[Death Mountain Crater]].  Link is informed of the location of said dungeon from [[Link the Goron]].  His father, Darunia, named him after Link because he killed King Dodongo and saved the Gorons from starvation. He believed that Link would be a good example for his child, because of his bravery and heroism.<ref>{{Cite|OoT|1205|[[Link the Goron]]}}</ref> 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 "[[Megaton Hammer|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.<ref>{{Cite|OoT|1213|Darunia}}</ref> Eventually, Link defeats Volvagia using the Megaton Hammer, Darunia is then revealed as the Sage of Fire.<ref>{{Cite|OoT|1225|Darunia}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|OoT|1226|Darunia}}</ref>
==''Ocarina of Time''==
===Child Era===
In ''Ocarina of Time'', Darunia is the leader of the Gorons, and is a strict but insightful leader capable of seeing the greater cause of problems. Darunia was eventually approached by [[Ganon|Ganondorf]], who demanded that Darunia relinquished the [[Goron's Ruby]], one of the three [[Spiritual Stones]], or he would blockade [[Dodongo's Cavern]] and cut off the Gorons' main source of food; Despite the consequences, Darunia refused as he knew the Goron's Ruby was too important for Ganondorf to possess. Darunia was eventually forced to lock himself away in his room to protect the Ruby, as the Gorons were becoming so hungry they starting viewing the Spiritual Stone as food.


Darunia assists the other [[Seven Sages|Sages]] in sealing Ganondorf within the [[Sacred Realm]] at the end of the game.
Darunia is eventually met by [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]], who had travelled to [[Goron City (Ocarina of Time)|Goron City]] to receive the Stone.{{Ref|OoT|1181|[[Goron]]}} He learns of the plight from the other Gorons and plays [[Zelda's Lullaby]] to gain access to the chief's room; While Darunia is initially furious that the [[Royal Family of Hyrule]] sent a boy as their messenger, he lightens up after Link plays [[Saria's Song]] to cheer him up. Darunia agreed to give Link the Stone if he proved himself worthy, by clearing out Dodongo's Cavern of the monsters infesting it{{Ref|OoT|1184|Darunia}}; to help him, he gives Link the [[Goron Bracelet]]. After Link has defeated [[King Dodongo]] and fulfilled his request, Darunia thanks Link, naming him his "Sworn Brother", and entrusts him with the Goron's Ruby.{{Ref|OoT|1190|Darunia}}.

===Adult Era===
<references/>
Sometime during Link's seven-year slumber, Darunia had a son, whom he also named [[Link (Goron)|Link]] in the Hero's honor.{{Ref|OoT|1205|[[Link the Goron (Ocarina of Time)|Link the Goron]]}} When Ganondorf, now the King of Evil, abducted most of the Gorons with the intent to feed them to Volvagia, Darunia and his son were the only ones who evaded capture; instructing his son to remain in Goron City and ensure nobody followed him, Darunia journeyed to the [[Fire Temple]] to free his people, despite his fears that he wouldn't be able to do anything without the Megaton Hammer. Along the way, he ran into Link again, and was overjoyed to see him; However, he understood that it wasn't a time for talking, and asked Link to help him free the Gorons. After Link had done so and defeated Volvagia, the two of them are taken to the [[Chamber of Sages]], where Darunia awakens as the Sage of Fire. He thanks his Sworn Brother for saving his people for the second time, and presents him with the [[Fire Medallion]] as a token of his favor.{{Ref|OoT|1225|Darunia}}{{Ref|OoT|1226|Darunia}}


During the finale, after Link defeats Ganon, Darunia and the other Sages seal him away in the [[Evil Realm]]. During the credits, Darunia can be seen atop [[Death Mountain]], watching the view alongside the other Sages.

{{Quote|Like all Gorons, this warrior king is a heavyweight on the battlefield. His massive hammer will shake the ground and send enemies flying.|Darunia's ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' [https://www.zelda.com/hyrule-warriors/character-detail/#!Darunia Official Website description]}}
