[[File:Goron_OcarinaOfTime.png|left| | [[File:Goron_OcarinaOfTime.png|left|175px|Ocarina of Time Goron]]As a child, [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] travels to [[Goron City]] in order to collect the [[Spiritual Stones|Spiritual Stone]] of Fire, the [[Goron's Ruby]]. [[Darunia]], the leader of the Gorons, is very mad because his people are starving thanks to [[Ganon]]dorf, who blocked the entrance to [[Dodongo's Cavern]], the Gorons' main source of food, after the Gorons wouldn't give him their Ruby. Link goes into Dodongo's Cavern, defeats the monster ([[King Dodongo]]), reverses Ganondorf's curse and retrieves the Goron's Ruby. Darunia then makes Link a Sworn Brother and later names his son after the hero. | ||

Gorons made their second 3D appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', where Link could really see what it is like to be a Goron by turning into one with the [[Goron Mask]]. They were a crucial race in the game, connecting to one of the four temples. Some of the important Gorons were [[Darmani]] and the [[Goron Elder (Majora's Mask)|Goron Elder]]. They also led up to the two upgrades to Link's sword. The Goron Mask is by far the fastest ground transportation mask in the game. As [[Goron Link]], Link drowns if he falls into water due to the fact that Gorons are heavy and cannot swim. | Gorons made their second 3D appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', where Link could really see what it is like to be a Goron by turning into one with the [[Goron Mask]].

The Gorons inhabit the mountainous area known as [[Rolling Ridge]], located in north-eastern [[Labrynna]]. They are a race of large humanoid creatures that eat rocks and are known to have tough skin, especially on their backs. For some reason, there happens to be more Gorons living in Rolling Ridge in the [[Past]] than in the [[Present]]. | The Gorons inhabit the mountainous area known as [[Rolling Ridge]], located in north-eastern [[Labrynna]].

[[File:Goron-Ages.png|left]]Link helps the Gorons by defeating the [[Great Moblin]] who had built a fortress atop Rolling Ridge and halted the Goron's [[Bomb Flower]] growth. Link also uses a Bomb Flower to blow up a large rock that had landed on the [[Goron Elder (Oracle of Ages)|Goron Elder]], thus saving him and becoming a legendary hero amongst the Gorons. | [[File:Goron-Ages.png|left|Oracle of Ages Goron]]Link helps the Gorons by defeating the [[Great Moblin]] who had built a fortress atop Rolling Ridge and halted the Goron's [[Bomb Flower]] growth.

Aside from all the normal Gorons, there are a few notable ones who differ in color and status, two of which are the [[Graceful Goron]]s of the Past and Present. In each era, there is a Graceful Goron who Link can dance with. If Link does well enough during the dance, he is rewarded with a prize. The first generation Graceful Goron of the Past, notable for his red-colored skin, gives Link the [[Mermaid Key]] once he shows him the Letter of Introduction. The fifth generation Graceful Goron of the Present, whose skin is blue, rewards Link with the [[Brother Emblem]] if he dances well enough. This item allows Link to access additional areas throughout Rolling Ridge. | Aside from all the normal Gorons, there are a few notable ones who differ in color and status, two of which are the [[Graceful Goron]]s of the Past and Present.

[[File:TP-Goron.png|200px|right]]The Gorons reside on Death Mountain in north-western ([[Nintendo Wii|Wii]]) [[Hyrule]]. They are ruled by a patriarch, [[Darbus]], as well as a group of [[Goron Elder|elders]]. They are generally taller than Gorons in earlier installments, but they retain most of the same physical features. Their complexion is decidedly more rough and rock-like, featuring a rocky "crust" that can be seen on their head and back areas, and they also have tribal markings on their skin. They now also wear fundoshi, which is almost certainly a parallel to real world sumo, in which a mawashi, a protective belt similar in appearance to the fundoshi, is worn. | [[File:TP-Goron.png|200px|right|Twilight Princess Goron]]The Gorons reside on Death Mountain in north-western ([[Nintendo Wii|Wii]]) [[Hyrule]].
