Dangoro

Dangoro is a Goron stationed in the Goron Mines. He is the guardian of the Hero's Bow, and is outfitted with special metal armor.

Biography
When Link comes to free Darbus from the Fused Shadow's power, Dangoro, distrusting humans, does not know that Link was allowed in the mines. On a tilting magnetic platform over the lava, Dangoro and Link fight, with Link eventually tossing Dangoro into the lava. With his armor destroyed, Dangoro finally listens to Link, who explains that he is allowed in the mines to rescue the Patriarch of the Gorons. Dangoro then lets him pass into the next room, which contains the Hero's Bow that was once wielded by the Hero of Time.

Battle
The actual battle with Dangoro takes place on a magnetically charged platform shaped as a hemisphere. As Dangoro jumps up on it, it falls into the pit of lava below. While Dangoro has no problems staying on the platform, Link might slide off if he is close to the edge. The Iron Boots will prevent him from sliding off, due to the magnetism.

Dangoro can deal out deadly uppercuts and use his weight and strength to rock the entire platform. However, he is quite slow and leaves himself open to attack while winding up his attacks. The Shield Attack can also leave him open to attack for a brief moment. If Dangoro is attacked at this point, he will roll into a ball and try to knock Link off the platform to counter-attack. With the Iron Boots on, Link can intercept him and throw him backwards and, if close enough to the edge, into the lava. Once Link manages to throw him into the lava surrounding the platform three times, the battle is won.
