Goron Mines: Difference between revisions

The '''Goron Mines''' is the second [[Dungeon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'', located very close to the top of [[Death Mountain]]. It is mostly inside the mountain, which is also an active volcano, so much of it is filled with lava and fire. [[Link]] searches the Goron Mines as directed by the [[Light Spirit]] [[Eldin (Light Spirit)|Eldin]] in hopes of finding the second [[Fused Shadow]].  

This dungeon houses three of the four [[Goron Elders]]. Link is told by [[Gor Coron]] that the three elders in the mines hold the three [[Key Shard]]s, which when combined create the key to the room into which [[Darbus]] has been locked. Link travels through the dungeon looking for the three elders. After he finds the second elder, he is told that he needs the "Goron Treasure" to get to the room where he can find Darbus. After defeating the guardian of the treasure, [[Dangoro]], he wins the right to use the [[Hero's Bow]], which is used to find the final Goron Elder. He combines the shards and opens the door to the room where Darbus lies. He will soon find not Darbus, but the dungeon [[Boss]], [[Fyrus]].

The [[Mini-Boss]] of the Goron Mines is [[Dangoro]], the guardian of the Goron Treasure. He is as arrogant as any other [[Goron]] Link will talk to, all of them dismissing the thought of a human defeating them in a contest of strength. The battle against Dangoro takes place on a metallic platform that floats atop lava. The fact that the platform is metallic is very helpful to [[Link]], as he can equip the [[Iron Boots]] and never have to worry about falling into the lava. If Link can use the [[Iron Boots]] and his own strength to knock Dangoro off the platform into the lava three times, Dangoro will be amazed at Link's strength and admit defeat. He will then grant Link entrance to where the [[Hero's Bow]] lies.{{Clear}}

The [[Boss]] of the Goron Mines is known as [[Fyrus|Twilit Igniter: Fyrus]]. Link has been told by the four [[Goron Elders]] that [[Darbus]], the [[Goron Patriarch]], lies in a room in the depth of the dungeon. Upon entrance to the room, Link was obviously expecting to find a [[Goron]], but instead he sees a giant figure, some 20 feet tall, that has a pitch black body, whom is known as Fyrus. This battle takes place in a circular room with pillars all around that extend to the ceiling. Fyrus is held back by chains on his arms and legs, but soon shows Link that they are no match for him. He frees himself from the shackles with apparent ease. After Link uses the first [[Hidden Skills|Hidden Skill]], the [[Ending Blow]], on Fyrus, he will be defeated. All of Fyrus' black skin will explode off of him and form the second [[Fused Shadow]], which will gracefully fall into Link's hands. Now that the Fused Shadow has left Fyrus, he becomes Darbus, a giant Goron that has a huge head and ginormous shoulders. Darbus is completely dumbfounded of his surrending, having no idea where he is or how he got there. He doesn't even seem to notice Link grab the [[Heart Container]] and leave.{{Clear}}

There is but a single Treasure Chest throughout all of the Goron Mines that contains equipment. This chest contains the [[Hero's Bow]], the Dungeon Item. It is located in the room directly after the Mini-boss room. It serves as the reward for beating the Mini-boss, [[Dangoro]].
