Goron Elder (Majora's Mask)

Biography
When Link first arrives at Goron Village in the Snowhead Mountains, he finds that the Goron Elder's Son is crying and cannot be stopped. He is driving all the Gorons crazy and they cannot stop his crying. The baby misses his father who has left the Village and has not come back, and Link must find the Goron Elder.

Link finds the Goron Elder encased in a block of ice just outside of the Village walls. If he retrieves Hot Spring Water, he can use it to thaw the Goron Elder. The old Goron wants to stop his son's crying, but he does not know if he can make it back to Goron Village. Because of this he teaches Link, whom he thinks is Darmani, the first part of the Goron's Lullaby.

Link returns to Goron Village and plays the first few notes of the Lullaby to the Goron Elder's Son. The baby will teach Link the rest of the song, and falls aleep, much to relief of all the Gorons.
