The Goron Tunic,[1] also known as the Heat-Resistant Tunic,[2] is a recurring Item in The Legend of Zelda series. It is a red tunic that can only be worn as an adult. It is made from Dodongo scales and Bomb Flower fibers, though it looks identical to his standard tunic aside from a red color.[3]
Location and Uses[]
Ocarina of Time[]
The Goron Tunic is able to protect its wearer from extreme heat. It is essential when exploring places such as the Death Mountain Crater and the Fire Temple. While wearing it, Link will no longer burn from fire-based traps and attacks, and will be able to travel on tiles of lava while having increased resistance to damage, allowing him to take certain shortcuts safely. He will also gain special resistance from floor spikes and poison water seen in the Shadow Temple. Like the Hylian Shield, the tunic can be stolen and eaten by a Like Like if Link is still wearing it when the enemy spits him out.
It can be bought in the Goron Shop for a pricey 200 Rupees or be received as a gift from Darunia's son after stopping him from rolling around Goron City.[2]
Other Appearances[]
Super Smash Bros.[]
Super Smash Bros. Melee[]
Super Smash Bros. Brawl[]
Hyrule Warriors[]
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U[]
Trivia[]
- Although the Goron Tunic is known to have resistance damage in Ocarina of Time, it serves no such purpose in other appearances such as the Super Smash Bros. series, Soul Calibur II, or even Hyrule Warriors.
- The Goron Tunic is similar to the tunics obtained from the Red Ring and Red Mail from The Legend of Zelda and A Link to the Past, respectively.
