In Oracle of Ages, the Goron Elder is the leader of the Gorons of Rolling Ridge in the past. When Link saves the Goron Elder, he acquires the Crown Key, which gives him access to the fifth dungeon in the game, the Crown Dungeon. One Goron in Oracle of Seasons is a descendant of the Goron Elder.
Twilight Princess
There are four Goron Elders in Twilight Princess, and they are found on, in, and around Death Mountain. Three of them can originally be found in the Goron Mines. If Link visits them, they each give Link one Key Shard, all three of which are required to restore the Big Key to its original form and open the boss door. After Link has completed the Goron Mines, they leave the Goron Mines.
The Goron Elders in this game are not the leaders of the Goron race. Instead, the leader is the Goron Patriarch, Darbus. The Goron Elders go by the names Gor Coron, Gor Ebizo, Gor Liggs, and Gor Amoto. Gor Coron is the first elder found in the game. 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. Gor Ebizo is the second elder found inside the mines who gives Link a Key Shard. After the dungeon, he is found inside Malo Mart in Kakariko Village asking for donations. Gor Liggs is the last elder encountered by Link. He has the third and final Key Shard, completing the Big Key. Later, he can be found outside Malo Mart in Kakariko Village waiting to give Link Hot Spring Water to complete a side quest for a Piece of Heart.

Breath of the Wild
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.
