In japan "goron" (ごろん) is a sound effect for rolling. There are three sylables in the name (in the japanese sound system) go (pronouced like the english word go) ro (the o is prounounced like the o in go) and n. Template:Race

Ocarina of Time

The Gorons are brown-like creatures made mostly of boulders living in Goron City located on Death Mountain, they are different important gorons during the game like: Darunia, Link, Big Goron, etc.

Majora's Mask

Goron's made their second 3d appearance in Majora's mask where you could really see what it's like to be a goron. Majora's mask had two main races and an enemy race (the deku) you could be and the goron was one of them. They were a crucial race of the game connecting to one of the four temples. They definitely had more important character's to the story such as Darmani and the goron elder. They also led up to the two upgrades to your sword. They are by far the fastest ground transportation mask or item in the game. (i am not confirming its faster than Epona). The goron mask Darmani, well his fists are and act exactly like the megaton hammer in fact in the beta version of Majora's mask the goron was gonna be carrying a hammer for a weapon. As Goron link if you fall into the water you will drown do to the fact that Gorons are heavy and can't swim unlike the Zoras who can swim fast.

The Wind Waker

Gorons make an appearance in 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 rupees, 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 the merchant on Outset Island to obtain his family treasure, the Magic Armor.

The Gorons have leaves covering their faces but with a swing of the Deku Leaf it will reveal their faces.

The Minish Cap

In 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 trading Kinstones with strange figures in caves you can let other Gorons come help the one in Lon Lon Ranch wich ultimately leads to acquiring a bottle.

Twilight Princess

The Gorons reside on Death Mountain in northeastern Hyrule, and are ruled by a patriarch, as well as a group of elders. They are generally taller than Gorons in most earlier installments, but 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.

Prior to the events of the game, the Gorons happened upon a part of the Fused Shadow in the Goron Mines; upon touching it, their patriarch Darbus was corrupted by its power and was transformed into Fyrus, the Twilit Igniter. The Gorons saw no option but to imprison their transformed patriarch inside a chamber in the mines. Too proud to accept help from outsiders, the Gorons began deterring whomever sought to scale Death Mountain. With the aid of the Iron Boots, Link is able to withstand the powerful guards on the path to Death Mountain—and even use them to climb the mountain itself—and enters the Gorons' mountain home.

After besting Gor Coron in a sumo wrestling contest, they give him a chance. Link enters the mine, wherein he battles a powerful Goron warrior named Dangoro, tasked with protecting the Hero's Bow. With the bow, Link is able to advance through the dungeon, break the spell on Darbus, and retrieve the Fused Shadow. Later, though he does not know about the events surrounding Link's ventures inside the mines, Darbus aids Link in opening the entrance to the Hidden Village.

When battling a Goron, 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. After Link completes the Goron Mines, the Gorons will instead ask Link whether he requires their aid in launching him up in the air; they can no longer be attacked, as they are now allies to Link. Subsequent to the restoration of peace to the Goron race, some Gorons depart from the mountain to provide merchant services elsewhere, such as Kakariko Village and Hyrule Castle Town.

Phantom Hourglass

In Phantom Hourglass, Gorons are found on Goron Island. They protect the valuable Crimsonine, which is needed to forge the Phantom Sword. Their leader is named Biggoron, and his son, Gongoron, assists Link in the Goron Temple. Unlike other games, gorons in Phantom Hourglass seem to respect brains over brawn. To gain their trust Link must pass a quiz, much different than the sumo wrestling in Twilight Princess.

Skyward Sword

Gorons have primarily appeared as mountain dwellers and their rock hard bodies are capable of withstanding volcanic heat. However, Gorons have also taken on the more secretive role of traveling merchants. It's not uncommon for Goron's to range quite a bit in size, from small child-like Goron's to the massively over-sized Gorons.

Only one Goron has been seen thus far in Skyward Sword and it holds the appearance of the traveling merchant variety from The Wind Waker. It is unclear whether or not there will be an entire race of Gorons in Skyward Sword or if there is just a single Goron in the game.
