Goron City is a location from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''. It is located in a cave near the top of [[Death Mountain]] in the northeast corner of [[Hyrule]]. It can be accessed by climbing the [[Death Mountain Trail]] from [[Kakariko Village]]. Goron City is inhabited by the [[Goron]]s, and ruled by their chief, [[Darunia]]. It contains a [[Goron Shop|shop]] and a [[Goron Vase|giant spinning vase]] from which [[Link]] can obtain a [[Piece of Heart]] or [[Rupee]]s.


In the center of Goron City is a platform suspended by ropes where the [[Spiritual Stones#Goron's Ruby|Goron's Ruby]] was once displayed. Goron City also contains secret entrances to the [[Lost Woods]], the [[Death Mountain Crater]], and [[Medigoron's Blade Store]]. When Link is a child, the [[Hot Rodder Goron]] can be found on the second floor. He will give Link a bigger [[Bomb Bag]] if stopped in his tracks by an exploding [[bomb]].

== Story ==
Link first travels to Goron City at the behest of [[Princess Zelda]], seeking to find the Spiritual Stone of Fire held by the Gorons. As he arrives in the city, however, he finds that the Spiritual Stone has been taken from the pedestal on the platform suspended above the city; furthermore, [[Ganondorf]] sealed the entrance to [[Dodongo's Cavern]], the Gorons' primary source of food, to punish them for not giving him the stone.
 
Standing before the sealed entrance to the chamber of the Goron chief, Darunia, Link plays "[[Zelda's Lullaby]]" to prove that he is a messenger of the [[Royal Family of Hyrule|Royal Family]]. Darunia is insulted by the Royal Family sending a mere boy to aid them, and refuses to have anything to do with him; Link plays "[[Saria's Song]]" for him, easing his state of mind, and prompting him to present Link with the [[Goron's Bracelet]] for "no particular reason." Link inquires about the Spiritual Stone, and is told that in order to prove himself worthy of carrying the Spiritual Stone, he must defeat the evil inside Dodongo's Cavern.
 
Using the strength that the bracelet bestows upon him, Link is able to use a [[Bomb Flower]] in order to access Dodongo's Cavern. Once inside, Link defeats [[King Dodongo]], making the caves safe for the Gorons to once again gather food inside. Link is teleported outside of the cavern, where Darunia praises his valor and asks him to become his "sworn brother"; as a symbol of this, Darunia grants Link the Spiritual Stone of Fire. When other Gorons appear to hug their newfound brother, Link is daunted and runs away.
 
Later, when Link first visits the city as an adult, most Gorons have been taken prisoner by the minions of Ganondorf, to be fed to the dragon [[Volvagia]] as an example to other races who may oppose his tyrannic rule; while he eluded capture, Darunia has gone to the [[Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Fire Temple]] to fight Volvagia. Only [[Link of the Gorons]], the [[Goron Shop Owner]], and [[Medigoron]] still remain in the city. Link of the Gorons, Darunia's son who was named after his "sworn brother", informs Link about this turn of events and presents him with the [[Goron Tunic]] that allows the wearer to withstand tremendous heat. Link braves the Fire Temple, rescues all of the Gorons, and defeats the dragon Volvagia using the legendary [[Megaton Hammer]]. Darunia is revealed to be the [[Seven Sages#Darunia, Sage of Fire|Sage of Fire]], one of seven Sages who safeguard Hyrule.
