"Daruk has the special ability to create a force field around himself to defend against all manner of attacks. Because of this power, he was selected to be a Champion. Though he may appear gruff, he is tremendously kind. He fondly calls Link "little guy" while also acknowledging his unparalleled skills. Daruk was chosen to pilot the Divine Beast Vah Rudania, but, before he could bring the beast's power to bear on Calamity Ganon, he was attacked by Fireblight Ganon and killed—his spirit sealed within Vah Rudania."

Appearances
Breath of the Wild
Daruk once lived in Goron City and was a respected Goron Elder and a powerful warrior. Before Calamity Ganon's return, he was chosen by King Rhoam and Princess Zelda to become the Goron Champion and pilot of the Divine Beast Vah Rudania. He kept a journal, which contains contents of his meals and friendship with Link and his inauguration as the pilot of Divine Beast Vah Rudania.
During Princess Zelda's visit to Death Mountain to ask Daruk to become Divine Beast Vah Rudania's pilot. Daruk immediately accepts without question and assures her that she can always count on him, and he'll gladly lay down his life for the sake of the kingdom. Zelda thanks Daruk as he goes on to explain the increase of monster attacks as of late and isn't sure if it was Calamity Ganon's doing and cautions her not to go outside the castle without a horde of powerful Gorons at her side. Princess Zelda tells him that he sounds just like her father, and he is appointing a knight who will be guarding her and is said to be the most accomplished of all the other knights. Daruk realizes whom she is talking about and was about to say his name but he spots of horde of red and blue Bokoblins running across the road and ganging up on someone. Daruk tells Zelda to say away as he springs into action and with a mighty swing of his Boulder Breaker, Daruk sent many Bokoblins flying and they fled from him as Daruk calls them spineless little Cuccos and declares that no one stands a chance against him as he laughs triumphantly as Zelda finds the subject that was attacked, and it was revealed to be a Hylian Retriever and it gratefully licks her face as she tells him that it was the one that was attacked and he saved its life. She finds Daruk shuddering in fear for a moment and when the dog barks at him, Daruk jumps as he drops his Boulder Breaker and curls up as Daruk's Protection becomes active, which has Zelda looking on with a puzzled look on her face. As the dog leaves, Daruk tells it to stay safe from that point on and apologizes to her that she had to see that side of him as he explains that dogs used to always chase him when he was a kid, and he still fears them while Zelda didn't imagine that Daruk would actually have a weakness. Daruk then looks for reassurance from her that Calamity Ganon isn't a dog monster of some sort and the two ended up laughing.
With all four Champions assembled, Daruk attends the ceremony alongside Link, Mipha, Revali, and Urbosa as they were given their blue cloths to solidify their places. Daruk, alongside Mipha, wore theirs like sashes. After the ceremony comes to an end, the Champions hang out at the gazebo as Daruk tells them that these big occasions have him tuckered out as the other Champions, Mipha, Revali, and Urbosa are intrigued by Zelda's Sheikah Slate. When Urbosa talks about the Sheikah Slate's abilities to take photos, Mipha is fascinated as she asks Zelda for a favor. Purah gets everyone into place and instructs them into the desired position. With everyone in place, Purah snaps the photo, but Daruk managed to pull everyone in at the last moment.
Daruk suggested that Link should have his own ceremony as he is going to become Zelda's personal bodyguard. When the ceremony takes place with the Champions attending it however, it wasn't as optimistic as Daruk had hoped and he notes that she's making it sound like they've already lost. Revali tells him off that the whole ceremony thing was his idea, though he is in agreement with him given how dismal it was and believes he is on the same page as the princess regarding Link. Urbosa tells him to drop it, as she explains that Link is merely a living reminder of her own lack of success, which is how the princess sees him.
Daruk had trouble controlling Vah Rudania, and Link and the princess went to Death Mountain to help make adjustments for him. After Daruk starts to get better at handling his Divine Beast, and he is happy with the results as he and Link explore the area and is having a good time. He tells Link to let the other Champions know that they better eat their gravel if they are going to keep up with him and he takes a moment to enjoy the view and notes that the Gorons find the sirloin rocks to be delicious. He doesn't know too much on the subject of Calamity Ganon but regardless, he will fight for Hyrule to the death as he slaps Link, making him jump forward. Daruk then congratulates Link on being Zelda's appointed knight and assures him that he will do fine as long as he knows that Zelda has a strong personality about her, but she is having some trouble seeing beyond the peaks. The ground suddenly shudders as it caused boulders to roll down the mountain with one of them heading their way. Daruk stands his ground and brings out his barrier to crumble it. Daruk attempts to get back to the subject but he is soon bothered that the recent activity from Death Mountain as it had been quiet for decades and wonders why it would become active now. He then tells Link to dismiss what he said as he looks up, still remaining concerned whether or not this activity was natural.
Daruk and the rest of the Champions await the return of Link and Princess Zelda at the foot of Mt. Lanayru where the latter had been training at the Spring of Wisdom. Daruk tells her not to keep them in suspense any longer as she delivers the news that she didn't get the results she hoped for. Urbosa insists that she must move on, since wallowing in self-pity won't get her anywhere and anything could bring it out. Mipha was about to offer a suggestion to the princess when she uses her healing magic when the ground suddenly rumbles, prompting Revali to fly up to check out what was happening before he returns to them as Daruk deduced that Ganon had returned. He then rallies the Champions to get to their Divine Beasts as soon as possible so they can effectively strike back and tells Link to head to Hyrule Castle. Urbosa then tells Zelda to get somewhere safe, but she refuses as she wanted to help in the battle regardless if she had her power or not.
Daruk was killed when Ganon took over Divine Beast Vah Rudania. One hundred years later, Link returned to free the Divine Beast. Daruk's spirit greets him upon entering, stating that he is happy to see Link has finally arrived. He shows Link where the map of Rudania can be found, and then explains that he must open all of the terminals within Rudania to free the beast. After opening all of the terminals and activating the main control unit, Fireblight Ganon appears. Daruk once again provides Link with advice and encouragement as he battles the monster. After the battle is over, Daruk appears before Link as a spirit and thanks him for defeating the monster and freeing both him and Rudania. He grants Link Daruk's Protection, which allows the hero to temporarily defend himself against attacks. He then takes Rudania to the highest peak of Death Mountain and takes aim at Hyrule Castle.
Upon Link's return to fight Ganon, Daruk uses Vah Rudania's power to weaken the beast. After Calamity Ganon's defeat and Princess Zelda's freedom from her imprisonment, Daruk's spirit is shown with the other Champions and King Rhoam high above Hyrule Castle. After momentarily watching Link and Zelda depart, his spirit disappears along with the King and remaining Champions.

He then rallies them to get to the summit to reach it. They come across several monsters that are attacking the Southern Goron Mines and disrupting work there, so they decide to secure the area from further attacks by taking over outposts. After they defeat the Igneo Talus, Daruk immediately expresses his respect for Link due to him having similar strength and an appetite as big as his and he quickly dubs Link as his sworn brother of the Gorons. When they arrive at the crator, Daruk becomes excited to put Vah Rudania to good use. Despite having some difficulty controlling it, Daruk managed to adjust to the controls as he rids the Goron Mines of the presence of the monsters. After the battle comes to an end, Daruk is happy to have pulled through an unexpected battle, and he returns to the topic on his becoming the Goron Champion who pilots Vah Rudania and he tells them that he's on board with their plan, and have Ganon beaten down to make sure Hyrule stays peaceful. Daruk realized that his Hylian friends must have been hungry after having fought their way to the summit, and he gives Link his Prime Rock Roast, which Link bites into without complaint, leaving Zelda and Impa flabbergasted, which Daruk believed that he forgot to give them Rock Roasts and promises he will bring more next time.
