After he finds the second elder, [[Gor Ebizo]], Link is told by Gor Ebizo that there is a weapon that was left in the mine by the hero of old,<ref>{{Cite|TP|6703|[[Gor Ebizo]]}}</ref> referred to as the ''Hero's Weapon''. After defeating the guardian of the treasure, [[Dangoro]], Link wins the right to use the [[Hero's Bow]], which is used to find the final Goron Elder. After finding the final elder and combining the shards, Link opens the door to the room where Darbus supposedly lies. He finds not Darbus, but the dungeon [[Boss]], [[Fyrus]].

The [[Mini-Boss]] of the Goron Mines is known as [[Dangoro]], the guardian of the ''Hero's Weapon''. He is as arrogant as any other [[Goron]] Link will meet, 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 originally was hung in the air by chains, by fell onto a pool of lava because of Dangoro's aggressive slam. 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.<ref>{{Cite|TP|6667|[[Dangoro]]}}</ref> He will then grant Link entrance to where the [[Hero's Bow]] lies.<ref>{{Cite|TP|6669|[[Dangoro]]}}</ref> Dangoro will remain in this room for the remainder of the game.

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 this 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. The battle requires good use of the Hero's Bow and of the Iron Boots. 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 surrendings, having no idea where he is or how he got there.<ref>{{Cite|TP|6685|[[Darbus]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|TP|6687|[[Darbus]]}}</ref> He doesn't even seem to notice Link grab the [[Heart Container]] and leave. Darbus is later seen in [[Kakariko Village]], specifically in the [[Sanctuary (Twilight Princess)|Sanctuary]].

The Goron Mines feature the main four Dungeon Items that every dungeon in ''Twilight Princess'' has; the [[Dungeon Map]], the [[Compass]], the [[Big Key]], and [[Small Key]]s.

The Dungeon Map is used to show [[Link]] exactly how the dungeon is laid out. It comes in handy if Link ever gets lost while searching through the dungeon. The Dungeon Map can be found in the first Goron Elders' room. After collecting the first [[Key Shard]] from [[Gor Amoto]], Link will be able to see a [[Treasure Chest]] behind Gor Amoto. Inside the chest lies the Dungeon Map.

The Big Key is used to open the door that leads to the dungeon boss, [[Fyrus]]. It has been spilt into three pieces by the Goron Elders. Each Goron Elder that is in the mines has a piece, so Link must travel to each one and get the three pieces. After collecting all three pieces, Link can combine them to create the Big Key.

There are seventeen Treasure Chests waiting to be found in the Goron Mines. These chests all contain a variety of different items that will help Link as he further travels the dungeon and the game, including [[Rupee]]s, Dungeon Items, [[Piece of Heart|Pieces of Heart]], and Equipment.

There is but a single Treasure Chest throughout all of the Goron Mines that contains equipment. This chest contains the Hero's Bow, a powerful [[Bow]] that was previously held by the ''hero of legend''. It is located in the room directly after the Mini-Boss room. It serves as the reward for beating the Mini-Boss, Dangoro. It is very helpful in completing the dungeon, and is also one of the most used item in the game.

 

* There is a higher platform in the [[Goron Mines]] that is only reachable by using the [[Clawshot]], which is found in the next [[Dungeon]], the [[Lakebed Temple]].
