The Altar of the Mountain Goddess[1] is a location featured within Spirit Tracks, located within the Fire Realm. The altar serves as a place of worship for the Mountain Goddess. It is a sacred place for Gorons,[2] and a place where outsiders are forbidden.[3]

Story

"Kagoron is the mountain goddess's messenger. He is praying at her altar for a stop to the volcano's outbursts.[4]"

— Goron

When Link visits Goron Village, he will find that the Mountain of Fire is continuously erupting. The mountain is erupting due to Cragma, but the Gorons believe it is due to the goddess' anger.[4] Kagoron travels to the Altar of the Mountain Goddess to pray to calm down the mountain,[4] as he is the mountain goddess's messenger.[5] Link is then warned about the path to the altar is in the eruptions' striking zone and is very dangerous.[6][7]

Once Link enters the Altar of the Mountain Goddess, Kagoron salutes his bravery for traveling by himself when he is still a child[2] and asks Link if there is something he would like to discuss.[8] When he answers "Actually...", Kagoron then tells Link that he will tell more to him once he has descended the mountain, as the Goron needs to make preparations.[9] However, if Link says no, Kagoron tells him to go home if he has nothing to discuss.[3]
