Later in the game Link must return after Ganondorf has revived [[Volvagia]], an ancient monster that the hero of Gorons defeated once before using the [[Megaton Hammer]], and kidnapped all the Gorons and threw them into the dungeon in [[Death Mountain]]. Once again Link comes to the rescue and defeats Volvagia, rescuing the Gorons. Darunia is also one of the [[Seven Sages]] and a town is named after him in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]''.

Gorons made their second 3D appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', where the player could really see what it's 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]]. They also led up to the two upgrades to your sword. The Goron Mask is by far the fastest ground transportation mask in the game. As [[Goron Link]], Link will drown if he falls into water due to the fact that Gorons are heavy and cannot swim.

The Gorons live on [[Goron Mountain]].

Gorons make an appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' in the Magic Armor Trading Quest. There are three Gorons that can be found in specific places on the map that you may converse with. Buying an item from one of the three Gorons costs [[Rupee]]s, but it is worth it to get the prize at the end. After buying unique items from the Gorons, it can be taken to one of the other three Gorons. One of the two Gorons will find the item interesting, and trade you something more valuable, but it costs rupees to trade. After going through this process several times, you will finally have the most valuable item which can be traded with [[Zunari|the merchant]] on [[Windfall Island]] to obtain his family treasure, the [[Magic Armor]].  

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', the Gorons seem almost extinct. One, Biggoron, lives on [[Mt. Crenel]] and will make the [[Mirror Shield]] for you. There is also a Goron in [[Lon Lon Ranch]] working on opening a cave. By fusing [[Kinstone]]s with strange figures in caves you can let other Gorons come help the one in Lon Lon Ranch, which ultimately leads to acquiring a [[Bottle]].

[[File:Goron-Twili Princess.jpeg|right]]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 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.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'', the Gorons live in [[Goron Village]], in the [[Fire Realm]]. The Gorons will give Link the [[Freight Car]].
