Before completing [[Goron Mines]], he can be found acting as leader in the first room at the top of the mountain. [[Gor Amoto]] is the first elder found within the [[Goron Mines]]. He gives Link his first [[Key Shard]] for this dungeon. After Link completes the dungeon, [[Gor Amoto]] is still found in [[Death Mountain]].

{{Main|Goron Elder (Spirit Tracks)}}

He is the only one who knows the location of the [[Fire Sanctuary (Spirit Tracks)|Fire Sanctuary]]. When Link asks for the location of the entrance to the Fire Sanctuary, the Goron Elder is hesitant at first, but after Link saves the village, the Elder allows him to enter the Fire Sanctuary. The Goron Elder has a grandson.

Before the [[Great Calamity]], the warrior [[Daruk]] was a Goron Elder. This status, along with [[Daruk's Protection]], made him a clear candidate to pilot [[Divine Beast Vah Rudania]]. 100 years later, Goron City is under the rule of the Elder [[Bludo]], who personally fought off Vah Rudania alongside Daruk's Grandson, Yunobo.

==Trivia==

*The [[Goron Elder]] is the leader of the [[Goron]] race in every game he appears in except for ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. In ''Twilight Princess'', the leader is the Goron patriarch [[Darbus]].
