Appearances

Majora's Mask

In Majora's Mask, the Goron Elder is the patriarch of the Gorons of Snowhead. He lives in the Goron Village with his son. When Link visits Snowhead before the completion of the Snowhead Temple, the Goron Elder can be found frozen in one of the large snowdomes outside the Goron Village. After speaking to the Goron Elder's Son in the Goron Shrine, Link must thaw the Elder using Hot Spring Water in order to learn the first half of the Goron Lullaby, a song which the Elder sings to his son to calm him down.

The Goron Elder is the leader of the Gorons living within Rolling Ridge. Link will save the Goron Elder and acquire the Crown Key, which gives Link access to the fifth dungeon in the game, the Crown Dungeon.

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 open the boss door. After Link has completed the dungeon, they leave the Goron Mines. Interestingly, 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.

Spirit Tracks

In Spirit Tracks, the Goron Elder is the leader of the Goron race. He is the only one who knows the location of the 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.
