Goron: Difference between revisions

The Gorons reside on Death Mountain in northwestern ([[Nintendo Wii|Wii]]) [[Hyrule]]. They are ruled by a patriarch, [[Darbus]], as well as a group of [[Goron Elders|elders]]. They are generally taller than Gorons in most 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.

The key to restoring peace is by showing strength, and to do that Link needs the [[Iron Boots]] to be able to stop a rolling Goron and Sumo battle. When facing a Goron on Death Mountain, it is possible to knock them off balance by blocking their attacks with a shield; if they are not struck by a [[Sword]], they curl into balls on the ground. If Link stands atop one while it prepares to unfold again, he is launched high up in the air, allowing him to reach high platforms.
