==Overview==

The '''Goron City''' is a recurring location in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|Zelda Games]], and is typically a conglomerate of [[Goron]]s in close proximity to [[Death Mountain]].  

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', '''Goron City''' is home of the Gorons.{{Ref|OoT|521|Sign}} It is found below [[Death Mountain Crater]] in the mountain, [[Death Mountain]]. As a Child, Link visits the City to recover the [[Goron's Ruby]] from [[Darunia]]. Link is first tasked with clearing out [[Dodongo's Cavern]], as [[Ganon|Ganondorf]] sealed it off after Darunia refused to give him the Ruby. The Cavern is the location of the food the Gorons who reside here feed on, so they are all starving.{{Ref|OoT|1175|Goron}}

In the Future, Ganondorf revived the Dragon, [[Volvagia]], who captures and eats the Gorons.{{Ref|OoT|1209|[[Link the Goron (Ocarina of Time)|Link the Goron]]}} Due to this, Goron City is much less populated. One of the Gorons here is named [[Link the Goron (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] after the hero who cleared out Dodongo's Cavern seven years earlier. This Goron is Darunia's son, and tells Link that he went in the [[Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Fire Temple]] to rescue his people from the jaws of the dragon.{{Ref|OoT|1210|[[Link the Goron (Ocarina of Time)|Link the Goron]]}} In doing so, he also rewards Link with the [[Goron Tunic]].

The highest section of the Goron City has a small platform held by ropes. On it lies a stone with the Goron symbol engraved on it, and it used to have the Goron's Ruby set on it.  

Link can purchase the [[Giant's Knife]] from [[Medigoron]] within the city at this time for 200 [[Rupee]]s. This is a rip-off, as the blade breaks after just eight swings.  

When Link first visits the Goron City, he can proceed to the lowest section and play [[Zelda's Lullaby]] on the soft carpet, which allows him to access Darunia's room. When Link meets Darunia, he expected to see the messenger of the [[Royal Family of Hyrule|Royal Family]], not a child. Darunia says that he is frustrated due to the infestation in Dodongo's Cavern. Link can lighten his heart by playing [[Saria's Song]], which will make him happy and start to dance around. Darunia thanks Link for his effort, and gives him the [[Goron's Bracelet]], which gives Link the ability to pull up [[Bomb Flower]]s when worn.
