Darunia is the big boss of the [[Goron]]s, resident in [[Goron City]], an enormous cavern built within [[Death Mountain]]. He comes across at tough and rude at first, but this is due to the stress caused by [[Dodongo's Cavern]] being blocked up and his people starving, Ganondorf's punishment for Darunia refusing to hand over the [[Goron's Ruby]]. [[Link]] first meets Darunia within [[Goron City]] 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 by playing him [[Saria's Song]]. 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]]. After Link accomplishes his task, Darunia considers him a sworn brother and an honorary member of the tribe. Darunia even goes on [[Link the Goron (Ocarina of Time)|to name his son after Link]].

Seven years later, and with almost all his people captured by the resurrected dragon [[Volvagia]], Darunia goes to face the dragon alone in the [[Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Fire Temple]] determined to slay the beast even though he lacks the legendary [[Megaton Hammer]]. Just before he enters the dragon's chamber, he sees Link, and charges him with saving the captured Gorons. While he fails to defeat the dragon, he is saved by Link and awoken as the [[Seven Sages|Sage of Fire]]. He does not forget that he considers Link a sworn brother and reminds him of this before Link leaves the [[Chamber of the Sages]]. He later helps Link to get [[Inside Ganon's Castle]] when all the sages create the rainbow bridge over the lava moat, and dispels the Fire Barrier inside before helping to trap Ganondorf in the [[Dark World]]. He is last seen with the other newly-awakened Sages on Death Mountain, looking down over Hyrule, with [[Saria]] on his shoulders.
