||
| + | '''Lanno Kooh Shrine''', designated by the Trial name '''Lanno Kooh's Blessing''', is a [[Shrine of Trials]] in {{BotW}}. |
||
| − | The '''Gorons''' are a race of rock people<ref>{{cite|There's a tribe of rock folk called Gorons living on Death Mountain. Like you, they're working to protect their home. I'm sure they'll come to your aid.|Yellow Maiden|FSA}}</ref> inhabiting [[Hyrule]], [[Termina]] and several other countries, typically living in mountain ranges. Gorons are one of the most consistently present races throughout the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' series]], along with [[Hylian]]s. By the time of {{TWW}}, other major races such as the [[Zora]], [[Kokiri]] and [[Deku]] are nowhere to be found, presumably having either evolved or migrated. In {{SS}}, which is shown to be much earlier than the other Zelda games, the Goron race is still exactly the same, but all other races (excluding the Hylians) either do not make an appearance or have not evolved yet. |
||
| + | ==Entrance to the Shrine== |
||
| − | ==Physiology== |
||
| + | Lanno Kooh Shrine is located in the northeast of the [[Tabantha Frontier]], under a rock formation, downriver of the [[Hebra Headspring]] and [[Hebra Falls]]. To access the [[Shrine of Trials|Shrine]], Link can fell a tree and ride it downriver through the Hebra Headspring and Hebra Falls until it reaches the Shrine. Alternatively, Link can attempt to swim through the cold water of the river surrounding the Shrine without succumbing to the extreme cold. As Link enters the Shrine, he is greeted by the Shrine's [[Monk]], [[Monk#Lanno Kooh|Lanno Kooh]], who states that merely being able to enter the Shrine is proof of Link's worth.<ref>{{Cite|To you who sets foot in this shrine... I am Lanno Kooh. By entering this place, you've already proven your worth.|Lanno Kooh|BotW}}</ref> |
||
| − | Gorons typically live in or under mountain ranges of several countries, including mountains such as [[Death Mountain]] of Hyrule, [[Snowhead]] of Termina, and so on. Although they are also adapt at living in non-mountainous regions, as seen in some titles such as in {{TMC}} or {{TP}}, is not uncommon to see Gorons come down from their mountain homes. Some also live on islands, such as on [[Goron Island]]. |
||
| + | ==Themes and Navigation== |
||
| − | The Gorons are a large race, with sizes ranging from medium, tall and even gigantic. The largest known Goron in the series is [[Biggoron]], who was about roughly the same height as the peak of Death Mountain. They have small eyes and noticeable lips, which conceal unaligned square teeth. Their durable, round bodies greatly resemble that of stones and boulders, and nearly all Gorons have a hide of ridged stones on their backsides. Combined with their round shape, Gorons can also curl themselves into a ball shape and roll like a boulder, which is also their primary attack against enemies. They usually have a light brown skin; however, three Gorons, a green, red and blue, have been seen in the series only in the world of [[Labrynna]]. Their different color compared to other Gorons is unknown. |
||
| + | Lanno Kooh Shrine features no puzzles, simply a direct path to Lanno Kooh. Along this path is a [[Treasure Chest]] containing a [[Gold Rupee]]. As Link approaches Lanno Kooh, he will give Link a [[Spirit Orb]] for reaching the Shrine,<ref>{{Cite|You have done well to arrive at this shrine. A hero rises to right the wrongs of Hyrule. In the name of Goddess Hylia, I bestow upon you this Spirit Orb.|Lanno Kooh|BotW}}</ref> and will wish Link well before fading away.<ref>{{Cite|May the Goddess smile upon you.|Lanno Kooh|BotW}}</ref> |
||
| + | ==Etymology== |
||
| − | Another common trait of the Gorons is that they have symbols in the shape of the [[Spiritual Stones#Goron's Ruby|Goron's Ruby]] tattooed to the side of their arms, whether this is natural or not is unknown. Gorons also possess immense strength which many in their race are proud of, and many groups of Gorons like to hold competitions that test each other's physical strength and even rolling ability, including competitions such as sumo wrestling and rolling racing, among others. While Gorons do have many strengths, they are not without their weakness, and one of their apparent weakness is deep water as they cannot swim. However as told in ''Twilight Princess'', Gorons can hold their breath for long periods without ever needing to breathe and thus cannot drown.<ref name="Quote1">{{cite|I am practicing holding my breath, so do not bother me, Brother! ...But no matter how much time passes, I never feel the need to inhale! It is strange...|A Baby Goron|TP}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | The diet of Gorons consists almost strictly of rocks mined from nearby mines, although it has been proven in certain titles that Gorons also eat other kinds of foods. In The [[Oracle Series|''Oracle'' series]], it was shown that Gorons also drink lava, either in the form of [[Lava Juice]] or [[Oracle of Seasons Trading Sequence#Lava Soup|Lava Soup]]. {{OoA}} also had a drink called [[Goronade]], which acts much like an energy drink. In ''The Minish Cap'', Biggoron had indicated that some Gorons also like to eat steel, and asked Link to give him his tiny shield to "nibble" on, which had eventually turned Link's shield into the [[Mirror Shield]]. In {{PH}} it was mentioned that young Gorons may eat [[Wood Heart]]s to grow big and strong.<ref>{{cite|Have you ever heard of a wood heart? I love them so much! We Gorons eat the small wood hearts in order to grow into big Gorons!|A young Goron|PH}}</ref> It was also hinted in ''Twilight Princesss'' that Gorons may drink milk.<ref>{{cite|Chugging a glass of milk after soaking in the hot spring is very popular, Brother!|Goron|TP}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | A large group of Gorons often live in a close-knit community within their home mountains, often lead by an elder leader. For example, the leader of the Death Mountain Gorons in {{OoT}} was [[Darunia]]. Gorons are very close and respectful to others of their own kind, and often refer to each other as "Brothers". Though the Gorons are a friendly race, they can also be slow to trust outsiders, and may come off as cautious or even aggressive depending on the situation. However if the outsider is able to prove their worth, usually in a test of strength, skill or intelligence, the Goron tribe will accept them in as one of their "Brothers". |
||
| − | |||
| − | Besides strength, some Gorons are known to be skilled smiths, notably [[Medigoron]] and Biggoron, of which the latter is responsible for creating the [[Biggoron's Sword]]. They are also known for harvesting [[bomb]]s from [[Bomb Flower]]s which grows in Death Mountain, sometimes also called the ''Goron's Special Crop''. [[Gorko|Some Gorons]] have been shown to be interested in archaeology, uniquely amongst the many Hyrulean races. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Goron race have also been noted by fans for lack of any identifiable females. |

||
| − | {{ImageCaption|image=File:Goron.png|size=210px|align=left|caption=Goron from Ocarina of Time|captionalign=center}} |
||
| − | ''Ocarina of Time'' was the first [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' title]] to introduce the Gorons. The Gorons live within [[Death Mountain]], in a large dome-shaped cavern which they call [[Goron City]].<ref>{{cite|If you want to hear more Goron gossip, head up to our city! Goron City is just a little way up the trail. It won't take much longer to get there, even on foot.|Goron|OOT}}</ref> This city houses several rooms, stairways and also a giant vase at the bottom floor (which contains a [[Heart Container#Piece of Heart|Heart Piece]], provided that the vase is spinning). There is also a shop on the bottom floor as well, run by a Goron. Many Gorons populate Goron City, but some do venture out into the [[Death Mountain Trail|trail]] and are willing to give directions to the city if spoken to. At first glance, the Gorons look like smooth boulders lying down; but will uncurl themselves if approached. The Gorons also have their own mining complex, [[Dodongo's Cavern]].<ref>{{cite|We are in danger of extinction! It's all because we can't enter our quarry, the Dodongo's Cavern.|Goron|OOT}}</ref> Its entrance lays at the base of the mountain trail, and the Gorons mine there for the 'most nutritious and best tasting' rocks which they eat.<ref>{{cite|We Gorons live on a diet of rocks... And the most delicious and nutritious rocks around are found in the Dodongo's Cavern!|Goron|OOT}}</ref> One Goron mentions that the Gorons have became such gourmets that they refuse to eat ordinary rocks, and thus rely on the mines for their only source of food.<ref>{{cite|But that seems like ancient history now... We've become such gourmets that we can't stand to eat rocks from anywhere else!|Goron|OOT}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:OoT Goron Model.png|right|180px|A Goron from Ocarina of Time]] |
||
| − | The Gorons in ''Ocarina of Time'' are governed by a single leader, a large Goron named [[Darunia]] who often stays in his room on the bottom floor.<ref name="Quote2">{{cite|Big Brother has shut himself up in his room saying, "I will wait in here for the Royal Family's messenger!"|Goron|OOT}}</ref> Another notable Goron is [[Biggoron]], a gigantic Goron who is too large to live with the other Gorons, and thus resides on the peak of Death Mountain. Biggoron also has a younger brother named [[Medigoron]] who is much smaller, but still about two to three times the size of a normal Goron, and lives in his cramped workshop, [[Medigoron's Blade Store]], within Goron City. Both Gorons are blacksmiths, but the eldest brother Biggoron is more skilled in his work than his brother.<ref>{{cite|My Brotherrrr... Opened a new storrrre... It's Medigoron's Blade Storrrrrrrre... Howeverrrrr... I am betterrrrrr at making bladessssss.|Biggoron|OOT}}</ref> As an adult, Link can purchase a [[Swords of Ocarina of Time#Giant's Knife|Giant's Knife]] from Medigoron for 200 [[Rupee]]s, which will break after striking enemies or hard surfaces four times. Biggoron, however, is able to craft an indestructible blade, the [[Biggoron's Sword]], which Link can obtain at the end of the [[Ocarina of Time Trading Sequence|Biggoron's Sword Trading Sequence]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====Before Opening the Door of Time==== |
||
| − | The Gorons also guard the [[Spiritual Stones#Goron's Ruby|Spiritual Stone of Fire]], more commonly known to them as The Goron's Ruby,<ref>{{cite|The Spiritual Stone of Fire, also known as the Goron's Ruby, is our race's hidden treasure....|Darunia|OOT}}</ref> which is received after beating Dodongo's Cavern. The Spiritual Stone of Fire was originally guarded on a high platform, which could only be reached by crossing a rope, until Darunia took it and guarded it himself in his room.<ref>{{cite|I think Big Brother took it away. He always says that everyone is after that red stone!|Goron|OOT}}</ref><ref name="Quote2"/> The Gorons also grow a special kind of explosive plant called a [[Bomb Flower]],<ref>{{cite|We've had a poor harvest of our special crop, Bomb Flowers!|Darunia|OOT}}</ref> a flower that acts like a bomb which the Gorons use for mining.<ref>{{cite|Those plants growing over there are Bomb Flowers. They are "mining plants" that grow only on this mountain. The flower's fruit is the raw material for bombs.|Goron|OOT}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | When Link goes to Goron City with the intention of acquiring their Spiritual Stone, he learns from the Gorons that a gigantic boulder had blocked the only entrance to their mining complex, [[Dodongo's Cavern]].<ref>{{cite|I am one of the Gorons, the stone-eating people who live on Death Mountain. Look at that huge boulder over there! It blocks the entrance to the Dodongo's Cavern, which was once a very important place for us Gorons...|Goron|OOT}}</ref> Because of this, the Gorons can no longer mine for the rocks they eat, and are now starving because of their rock shortage.<ref>{{cite|Oh...I'm so hungry... Everyone feels faint from hunger because of the food shortage in this town. We are in danger of extinction!|Goron|OOT}}</ref> Some of the Gorons had became so hungry, that a few had went to the Spiritual Stone of Fire with the intention of giving it just a little lick, only to find it missing from where it was usually kept.<ref>{{cite|You're looking for a "Spiritual Stone?" You must mean that delicious-looking red stone that was once displayed here! I was so hungry that I thought it would be OK to just give it one tiny little lick...so I snuck out here. But, it was already gone! I think Big Brother took it away.|Goron|OOT}}</ref> Darunia had taken the Spiritual Stone and guarded it himself to prevent the others from possibly eating it. In the process he had locked himself in his room, saying that he would only come out whenever Hyrule's royal messenger arrives.<ref name="Quote2"/> When Link plays [[Zelda's Lullaby]] on the doormat to Darunia's room, Darunia opens his door, thinking the Royal Family's messenger has arrived.<ref>{{cite|What the heck! Who are you?! When I heard the song of the Royal Family, I expected their messenger had arrived, but... you're just a little kid!|Darunia|OOT}}</ref> But when Darunia sees that it was only a child, he becomes furious, saying that the Gorons are having their own problems,<ref>{{cite|Ancient creatures have infested the Dodongo's Cavern! We've had a poor harvest of our special crop, Bomb Flowers! Starvation and hunger because of the rock shortage!|Darunia|OOT}}</ref> don't need a child, and tells Link to leave him alone.<ref>{{cite|But... This is a Goron problem! We don't need any help from strangers!|Darunia|OOT}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Some of the Gorons tell of the tunnel that leads to the [[Lost Woods]], where "[[Saria's Song]]" can be heard, and that sometimes Darunia likes to listen to it.<ref>{{cite|I remember Big Brother used to always listen to the music that comes from the forest... Ah yes, the good old days... That music makes me feel nostalgic, too...|Goron|OOT}}</ref> When Link plays Saria's Song to the Goron leader, Darunia begins to dance madly, and instantly becomes happier.<ref>{{cite|Just like that, my depression is all gone! Something just came over me! I suddenly wanted to dance like crazy!|Darunia|OOT}}</ref> Darunia had then asked Link to help them with their problem, and that he would award Link with the Spiritual Stone but only if Link helped them,<ref>{{cite|The Spiritual Stone of Fire, also known as the Goron's Ruby, is our race's hidden treasure.... But hold on--I'm not going to give it to you that easily. If you want it so badly... Why don't you go destroy the monsters inside of the Dodongo's Cavern and prove you're a real man? That way, everybody will be happy again! If you do it, I will give you anything you want, even the Spiritual Stone!|Darunia|OOT}}</ref> which Link agrees to and is given the [[Power Bracelet|Goron Bracelet]] which allows him to pick up heavy objects such as Bomb Flowers. Link manages to find a Bomb Flower and use it to unblock the entrance. He goes inside the mining complex and eventually defeats the boss there, the [[King Dodongo]]. Darunia tells Link that [[Ganon]]dorf had approached the Goron tribe and had blocked the entrance to their mines, threatening them that he would only unblock it if they had gave him the Spiritual Stone of Fire.<ref>{{cite|I can't believe that the Dodongos suddenly appeared in such great numbers! And that big rock blocking the cave... All this trouble must have been caused by that Gerudo thief, Ganondorf! He said, "Give me the Spiritual Stone! Only then will I open the cave for you!" You, on the other hand, risked your life for us...|Darunia|OOT}}</ref> But Ganondorf was still refused and had left the Gorons with their blocked mines. Now that the mines were finally safe again, Darunia and two Gorons dropped down to Link and announced that he was now one of them, a sworn 'brother', and gave him the Spiritual Stone of Fire for his efforts.<ref>{{cite|Kid, I like you! How's about you and I become Sworn Brothers?! No, there's no big ceremony involved! Just take this as a token of our friendship!|Darunia|OOT}}</ref> The Gorons also want to give Link a 'Goron hug',<ref>{{cite|You did great! How 'bout a big Goron hug, brother?!|Goron|OOT}}</ref> which Link runs away from. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====After the Door of Time is Opened==== |
||
| − | Link awakens seven years into the future, where he finds himself as an adult and is told by [[Rauru]], one of the six sages, to go out and awaken the other five sages to aid him in the battle against Ganondorf.<ref>{{cite|The Hero of Time, chosen by the Master Sword! Keep my spirit with you... And, find the power of the other Sages and add their might to your own!|Rauru|OOT}}</ref> During the seven years Link slept, Ganondorf wreaked more havoc on Death Mountain.<ref>{{cite|Ganondorf is causing trouble on Death Mountain again! He has revived the evil, ancient dragon Volvagia!|Darunia|OOT}}</ref> Its trail became more dangerous and red smoke surrounded the mountain, reflecting its tumultuous state.<ref>{{cite|It is said that the clouds surrounding this peak reflect the condition of Death Mountain. When they look normal, it is at peace.|Kaepora Gaebora|OOT}}</ref> After arriving in Goron City, Link finds that the Gorons' home is completely empty. There is however a single, rolling Goron who can be stopped with the use of a [[bomb]]. This Goron introduces himself as 'Link, Hero of the Gorons' who admires the real Link.<ref>{{cite|Hear my name and tremble! I am Link! Hero of the Gorons! What? Your name is also Link? Then you must be the legendary Dodongo Buster and Hero, Link!|Link the Goron|OOT}}</ref> Link the Goron says that he is the son of Darunia,<ref>{{cite|My dad is Darunia... Do you remember him? Dad named me Link after you, because you're so brave! It's a cool name! I really like it!|Link the Goron|OOT}}</ref> and tells Link that Ganondorf had revived an evil dragon named [[Volvagia]] that, according to Goron lore, had preyed on Gorons and was defeated by a Goron hero who had used the [[Hammer#Megaton Hammer|Megaton Hammer]] in a battle against it.<ref>{{cite|Dad said that Ganondorf has revived Volvagia...|Link the Goron|OOT}}</ref><ref>{{cite|A long time ago there was an evil dragon named Volvagia living in this mountain. That dragon was very scary! He ate Gorons! Using a huge hammer, the hero of the Gorons... BOOOM! Destroyed it just like that. This is a myth from long ago, but it's true!|Link the Goron|OOT}}</ref> Darunia is a descendant of that Goron.<ref>{{cite|I know, because my dad is a descendant of the hero!|Link the Goron|OOT}}</ref> More recently however, Ganondorf had captured nearly all of the Gorons and held them captive as prisoners in the [[Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Fire Temple]], where he threatened to feed them all to the revived Volvagia, as an example to all of the other races who might question his rule over Hyrule.<ref>{{cite|Everybody was taken to the Fire Temple... While my dad was out... Ganondorf's followers came and took them all away! All of them will be eaten by Volvagia!|Link the Goron|OOT}}</ref> The only other Gorons who weren't taken captive were Biggoron, Medigoron, and the Goron who runs the shop in Goron City. Darunia was not captured, but went into The Fire Temple to defeat Volvagia and to save his people. Link the Goron fears the worst and pleads with Link to save the Goron race.<ref>{{cite|Dad went to the Fire Temple all by himself to try to save everyone... Please help, Link! I'll give you this heat-resistant tunic! Dad told me not to let anybody follow him to the temple, but... Only you, Link, can save everyone!|Link the Goron|OOT}}</ref> Link the Goron then gives him a Red Tunic and tells him of a secret passageway to the other half of the Death Mountain crater that can be accessed by pushing away a block in Darunia's room.<ref>{{cite|Now, I'll tell you about the secret passage to the Fire Temple! Try to move the statue inside Dad's room!|Link the Goron|OOT}}</ref> There, Link finds the bridge that led to the temple. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Inside The Fire Temple, Link reunites with Darunia in the room that held the boss door. Although Darunia is glad to see him again and would love to have a man-to-man talk to him, Darunia has to save his tribe and was going to fight Volvagia, even though he didn't have the Megaton Hammer with him.<ref>{{cite|Oh, it really is Link! You've grown so big since I last saw you! I want to have a man-to-man talk with you, but now's not the time. Ganondorf is causing trouble on Death Mountain again! He has revived the evil, ancient dragon Volvagia! [...] I will go on ahead to try to seal up the evil dragon... I'm concerned, though, because I don't have the legendary hammer... But I have no choice.|Darunia|OOT}}</ref> He asks Link to free the Goron prisoners and then goes inside.<ref>{{cite|While I'm trying to deal with the dragon, please save my people! The prisoners' cells are in the opposite direction. I'm counting on you, Link!|Darunia|OOT}}</ref> Most of the [[Key#Small Keys|small keys]] in The Fire Temple were used to free the prisoner Gorons, who gave Link advice about the temple before escaping. Their prisoner cells often also held important items, such as more keys, which makes freeing all of the Gorons necessary in order to clear the dungeon. After Link freed all of the prisoner Gorons and defeated Volvagia with the Megaton Hammer, Darunia was awakened and realized that he was the Sage of Fire. He gives Link the [[Medallions#Fire Medallion|Fire Medallion]], which was also a symbol of their friendship.<ref>{{cite|Thank you, Brother! I really appreciate what you did. I thank you on behalf of the entire Goron race! You turned out to be a real man, just as I thought you would! By the way, I, the wild Darunia, turned out to be the great Sage of Fire... Isn't that funny, Brother? Well, this must be what they call destiny. Nothing has made me happier than helping you seal the evil here! Hey, Brother, take this! This is a Medallion that contains the power of the fire spirits--and my friendship.|Darunia|OoT}}</ref> Afterwards all of the other Gorons return to their city, and thank Link again if spoken to. |

||
| − | In {{MM}}, the Gorons live in the [[Snowhead]] area, in the north of [[Termina]]. They include the [[Goron Elder]], the [[Goron Elder's Son]], and until recently, [[Darmani]]. Throughout the plot of ''Majora's Mask'', [[Link]] learns to become a Goron himself by using the [[Goron Mask]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Unfortunately, [[Goron Village (Majora's Mask)|Goron Village]] and [[Mountain Village]] have been plagued by harsh [[snow]] and [[ice]], changing the usually warm habitat of the Gorons. The source was apparently [[Snowhead Temple]], so Darmani went to investigate. Sadly, he was blown off the trail by a blizzard and died along the way,<ref>{{cite|I was fine until I marched off to Snowhead by myself, hoping that I could drive off a demon. It had been wreaking havoc on Goron Village...Then the blizzard at Snowhead blew me into the valley. ...And now...Here I am...|Darmani|MM}}</ref> but Link heals his soul using the [[Song of Healing]]. After Darmani's soul came to rest, Link obtained the Goron Mask. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In Goron Village, the Baby Goron has been crying ever since his father left. Link must calm him by taking the form of Darmani using the Goron Mask and playing the [[Goron Lullaby]], partially learned from the Goron Elder, who is frozen just outside of the village area. Unfreezing Gorons requires [[Hot Spring Water]], found near Darmani's grave. |
||
| − | |||
| − | After clearing Snowhead and defeating [[Goht]], Goron Link is allowed to participate in the [[Patriarch's Race|Goron Race]]. However, the entrance is blocked by a large boulder which can only be broken using a [[Powder Keg]]. To get one, Link must visit the [[Medigoron]] near the Goron Village and carry the Powder Keg from the village to the rock. If Link wins the race, he receives a [[Bottle]] filled with [[Gold Dust]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | There is one Goron who visits [[Clock Town]] during the three days Link is in town. His name is [[Link (Goron)|Link]]. This Link has a reservation at the [[Stock Pot Inn]], and he claims it at four on the first day.<ref>{{cite|I should have a reservation-goro. The name is Link. Don't you have it-goro?|Link the Goron|MM}}</ref> However, Link can check in before his Goron of the same name, because [[Anju]] has a difficult time remembering the faces of the customers.<ref>{{cite|Umm...Are you...staying the night? Oh my! I wonder...Did I by chance ask you the same thing earlier? My mother is always telling me to remember our customer's faces, but I tend to forget them...|Anju|MM}}</ref> |

| − | ===''Oracle'' Series=== |
||
| − | Gorons appear in both the lands of [[Holodrum]] and [[Labrynna]] in the [[Oracle Series|''Oracle'' games]]. Unlike other ''Zelda'' titles, the Gorons in Holodrum and Labrynna have skin color that ranges from the usual yellow to red, green and blue. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====''Oracle of Ages''==== |
||
| − | [[File:Goron OOX.png|left]][[File:Goron Green.png|left]][[File:Goron Red.png|left]][[File:Goron Blue.png|left]] |
||
| − | In ''Oracle of Ages'', Gorons live in both the peaks of [[Rolling Ridge]] of Labrynna, as well as the base of the mountain. Unlike the Gorons of Holodrum, there are a lot more Gorons in Labrynna and make up most if not all of Rolling Ridge's population, they are also in fact one of the larger Goron tribes in the ''Zelda'' series. There are more Gorons in the past then there are in present day, suggesting that some may have died off or migrated. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Gorons of Labrynna exhibit many interests in playing games as well as dancing, their sense of society also closely resembles that of the Goron tribe in [[Hyrule]]'s [[Death Mountain]], as they have an elder and test outsiders in skill before calling them a "Brother". The base and eastern peak of Rolling Ridge appears to have the most activity, as well as many tunnels that lead to the base and vice versa. This is where most of the mini-games that Link can play, a requirement in order to access the sixth dungeon, [[Mermaid's Cave]], and also where the Goron Dance Hall is held. ''Oracle of Ages'' requires that Link completes the fifth dungeon, [[Crown Dungeon]], before allowing access to the base and eastern peak of Rolling Ridge. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The western peak of Rolling Ridge is less active, but also appears to be the main caverns of the Gorons. The western peak is probably also the main area where [[Bomb Flower]]s are grown, most notably in the past. In present day the [[Goron Elder]], who slightly looks like [[Darunia]] of ''Ocarina of Time'', became trapped under some fallen rocks and could not get out.<ref>{{cite|It's terrible! The Goron Elder has been buried alive under some rocks!

| − | The Goron Dance mini-game is hosted by a blue Goron in present day and by a red Goron in the past, where they instruct dance moves to other Gorons in the Goron Dance Hall. According to the red Goron, he is the first generation of "Graceful Dancers",<ref>{{cite|I am the first generation of Graceful Dancers!|Red Goron at Goron Dance Hall|OoA}}</ref> and that the blue Goron is the fifth generation.<ref>{{cite|I am the fifth generation of Graceful Dancers!|Blue Goron at Goron Dance Hall|OoA}}</ref> To join in, Link had to pay 10 rupees in present day or 20 rupees in the past to dance with them. The Goron Dance Hall is where at least seven Gorons do a dance in rhythm, under the instructions of their instructor. According to the dance instructors, only people who dance well will be considered a Goron.<ref>{{cite|One must know our dance if he is to be called a Goron. If you dance well, I'll give you a Symbol of Brotherhood!|Goron Dance Hall Instructors|OoA}}</ref> When Link completed this mini-game, he was officially dubbed a fellow "Brother" within the tribe and was given the [[Brother Emblem]], allowing him access to a tunnel that was being blocked by a Goron from non-"brothers".<ref>{{cite|Do you have a passionate heart?

Several Gorons also asked that Link find them items such as [[Rock Sirloin]], [[Goronade]] and the Goron Vase. Eventually after completing a number of requests and mini-games, Link was rewarded the [[Mermaid Key]] that provided him access to the Mermaid's Cave. |

||
| − | [[File:Goron2(OoX).png|left|90px|Goron in the ''Oracle'' series]] |
||
| − | In {{OoS}}, Gorons live in a cave in [[Mt. Cucco]], near where the [[Temple of Seasons]] once stood in Holodrum. Unlike the Gorons of Labrynna, these Gorons do not appear to have a Goron elder, or at least not refer to anyone as their leader. Although [[Biggoron]] does reside with them and may be their elder, however he has to stay outside due to his largeness. While the seasons are in chaos, Mt. Cucco experiences cold winters most of the time, forcing all of the Gorons but Biggoron to stay inside the caves. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Due to the cold winters, Biggoron had caught a cold, which was cured when Link gives him [[Oracle of Seasons Trading Sequence#Lava Soup|Lava Soup]] as part of the [[Trading Sequence]]. In return, Biggoron gives Link the rare [[Goron Vase]], which can be then given to [[Ingo]] who lives in [[Sunken City]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A solitary, red Goron lives in a separate cave from the others. When visited, the Goron will thank Link for visiting him and reward him with a level 2 [[Ring Box]], capable of allowing Link to equip three [[Magic Ring|ring]]s instead of one. The main cave in which the Gorons live can be used as a shortcut to the Temple of Seasons or as the sole entry to the peak where Biggoron resides. |

||
| − | [[File:Goron Child FSA.png|right|A young Goron]] |
||
| − | In {{FSA}}, the Gorons once again live in the [[Death Mountain]] region. Unlike most Gorons, these Gorons are always seen wearing some type of clothing. The adult males tend to wear blue kilts whereas the younger Gorons wear red shorts. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Gorons are first seen in [[The Mountain Path]] stage of the third chapter. During the events of ''Four Swords Adventures'', the gigantic [[Helmaroc King]] bird had decided to move into the mountain and had begun to harass the Gorons with its fast flying and by sending out falling boulders. The Gorons seem to have attempted to stop the monster, but were only able to figure out a way how to make the bird fall, by throwing [[Bomb]]s at it, and then recorded this information for later use. Besides being hassled by the Helmaroc King, the mountain path had also been ignited by flames, most likely started by [[Dark Link|Shadow Link]] and the Gorons were unable to control it. The flames were later extinguished by the four [[Links]] who then proceeded to defeat the Helmaroc King. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Another Goron can be found in the [[Tower of Flames]] stage, claiming that he had tried to defeat the [[Dodongo]]s in the next room but couldn't do it with his strength alone. He had brought a couple of bombs and had the thought of using them against the Dodongos, but had accidentally dropped the bombs into the lava below. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===''The Minish Cap''=== |
||
| − | [[File:GoronMC.gif|left|50px]] |
||
| − | In ''The Minish Cap'', only eight Gorons appear through the entire game, six of them appearing in a cave near [[Lon Lon Ranch]], and the two other being [[Biggoron]] and a '''Goron Merchant'''. Most only appear after Link fuses [[Kinstone]] pieces with other people throughout [[Hyrule]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A Goron can be seen near Lon Lon Ranch trying to punch an entrance to a cave, and will eventually succeed once Link fuses a Kinstone with somebody. If Link enters inside, initiating the [[Goron Sidequest]], he will discover that the Goron had opened a tunnel way, which has been blocked by many large rocks. The Goron says that he is unable to break it himself. Link can then later fuse more Kinstones with [[Kinstone Fusion#Mysterious Walls|Mysterious Walls]] and [[Eenie and Meenie|Eenie]] to make more Gorons appear, those Gorons would enter the tunnel and offer their assistance. The Gorons do manage to break the first rock, but encounter more rocks afterward, which are always larger than the previous rock. Thus they require more Gorons in order to unblock the tunnel. There are six Gorons needed to clear the tunnel. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:GoronMerchant(TMC).png|right|80px|Goron Merchant]] |
||
| − | The first Goron in the tunnel side quest will also offer to fuse Kinstone pieces. Afterwards, a Goron merchant will appear wandering around North Hyrule and immediately decides to open up a shop in [[Hyrule Castle Town|Hyrule Town]]. In the town square, the Goron merchant will be selling three differently colored Kinstone pieces, red, blue and green, although the shape of the Kinstone pieces is entirely random when bought. Green Kinstone pieces cost 50 [[rupee|rupees]], blue Kinstone pieces cost 200 and red Kinstone pieces cost 300 rupees. If Link had bought all of the Kinstone pieces on show, the Goron merchant will restock his wares at a later time. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Biggoron lives around the peaks of [[Veil Falls]], near the cyclone entrance to [[Cloud Tops]]. At first Link can only see the top of his head and hear Biggoron groaning to himself, and Link cannot interact with him. After fusing Kinstones with the sixth Goron who appears to help the others with the tunnel project, Biggoron will pop out and can be spoken to. Once Link has defeated [[Vaati]], Biggoron can take his shield for awhile and later upgrade it into a [[Mirror Shield]]. |

| − | ===''Twilight Princess''=== |
||
| − | In ''Twilight Princess'' Gorons primarily populate Death Mountain. However, two Gorons have migrated to [[Hyrule Castle Town|Castle Town]] as merchants. The Gorons in ''Twilight Princess'' are very different in appearance than previous incarnations of Gorons. Their skin is very yellow in color and they have what seems to be tattoos painted on their skin. Only certain Gorons, such as [[Gor Coron]] have differently colored tattoos. The Gorons in ''Twilight Princess'' also have more 'hair', which is in the form of a rocky surface which extends all the way to their backsides, as well as rock surfaces along their arms. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:Death Mountain Goron Roll.jpg|thumb|left|A Goron rolling at Link on [[Death Mountain]]]] |
||
| − | The Gorons in ''Twilight Princess'' are governed by five Gorons; their Patriarch, [[Darbus]], and their four elders, [[Gor Amoto]], Gor Coron, [[Gor Ebizo]], and [[Gor Liggs]].<ref>{{cite|When the mountain began to rage, all four of us elders and Darbus, our patriarch, went inside to investigate its anger.|Gor Coron|TP}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Gorons have constructed a large mining complex within Death Mountain, and they have also become more mechanical and industrialized developing magnetic cranes and elevator systems. They most likely use it to mine rocks which they eat, similar to the purpose of [[Dodongo's Cavern]] in ''Ocarina of Time''. The mines also serve another purpose, being the place where the Gorons hold a [[Fused Shadow]], as instructed by the [[Light Spirit|spirits]], and the [[Hero's Bow]] that was once owned by an 'ancient hero'. A single, armored Goron named [[Dangoro]] guards over the weapon.<ref>{{cite|I am glad we gave you the Hero's weapon. But...my job was to protect it. And now that it is gone, I am very, very bored.|Dangoro|TP}}</ref> The mines also have three rooms where the Goron elders can pray, and where Gor Liggs, Gor Ebizo and Gor Amoto can be found. Gor Coron doesn't seem to have to have his own room, or at least not one within the mines. |
||
| − | [[File:Goron.jpg|thumb|Wrestling Gorons in ''Twilight Princess'' from the ending credits]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Gorons in ''Twilight Princess'' also show a strong interest in sports of strength, such as wrestling or boxing, as well as bathing in their hot springs. On the very top of [[Spectacle Rock]] is a small cavern where the Gorons keep their wrestling ring, where they often hold [[sumo-wrestling]] competitions. This cavern is also the entrance to Goron Mines, and an elevator to the hot springs as well. Many of the older Gorons enjoy sumo-wrestling, although several Gorons mention that the youngsters seem to be losing interest in the sport.<ref>{{cite|There have been few sumo matches lately... Talk about boring, Brother. I suppose it is because young Gorons these days have no interest in old arts like sumo. And former powerhouse Gor Coron is an elder... There is not much we can do, Brother. Without sumo matches, the hot spring is the only thing we have to look forward to, Brother.|Goron|TP}}</ref> The hot spring is at ground level in Death Mountain, over one of Spectacle Rock's walls. The hot spring also as a small stand where a Goron can sell Link some [[arrow]]s, a [[Wooden Shield#Twilight Princess|wooden shield]] and some [[milk]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Gorons in ''Twilight Princess'' appear to be have developed a way of launching each other into the air, by having one Goron curling into a ball while the other climbs on top of him, the Goron below him will then spring out which will send anyone standing ontop to be shot up into the air. This seems to be how many of the Gorons climb their mountain, and is similar concept to shooting out of a [[Baba Bud]] in ''The Wind Waker''. Link also uses this method to get around Death Mountain. |
||
| − | {{clear}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====Main Quest Involving Gorons==== |
||
| − | Shortly after Link restores [[Eldin (Spirit)|Eldin's]] light to the [[Eldin Province]], he learns from [[Renado]] of [[Kakariko Village]] that the Gorons for some reason have been keeping outsiders from [[Death Mountain Trail|their trail]],<ref>{{cite|The dark beasts attacked, but even worse was the sudden and inexplicable change in the mountain-dwelling Goron tribe. They had long been our friends, but suddenly treated us as foes. Even now they refuse to permit us entry into their mines.|Renado|TP}}</ref> and anyone who dares to trespass would be knocked away by a Goron guarding the beginning of the trail, as well as several other rolling Gorons. The only way Link could stop them were to wear the [[Iron Boots]] he obtained from [[Mayor Bo]], or else he would be unable to climb the trail. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Once Link has managed to successfully arrive in Spectacle Rock, many of the Gorons there will attempt to punch Link rather then roll at him. Link can stun these Gorons by jumping out of the way and then rolling into them with the Iron Boots, causing the Goron to curl into a ball. Link can then climb on top of the Goron to be launched to higher places. This is the only way that Link can get to the highest cavern which houses the wrestling ring and entrance to Goron Mines. During this time, the Gorons in the hot springs won't attack Link, giving Link a place he can rest. When Link reaches the highest cavern, Gor Coron will challenge him to a sumo-wrestling competition. This competition is not very hostile, and can be retried unlimited times. Since Gorons are much stronger and heavier than a human, Link requires the use of the Iron Boots again to beat him. The Gorons never do find out about Link's deception. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Mayor Bo was also one of the first people to earn the Gorons' trust, by beating them in a sumo-wrestling competition by also using his Iron Boots.<ref>{{cite|Well, it's true...I did defeat the Gorons in a contest of strength and earned their trust. ...With the help of a little secret.|Mayor Bo|TP}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Link, having proved his worth to the elder, is told about the recent events. Gor Coron says that recently the volcano has been growing very violent, and that Darbus and the elders had gone to investigate. They had arrived to the Fused Shadow which their mine guarded,<ref>{{cite|We have a treasure that was entrusted to us by the spirits, and we must protect it.|Gor Coron|TP}}</ref> Darbus had went to touch it and was suddenly transformed into a gigantic and uncontrollable monster,<ref>{{cite|But the moment Darbus reached out and touched the treasure...everything went wrong. He collapsed...and before our very eyes transformed into an unspeakable monster!|Gor Coron|TP}}</ref> [[Fyrus|Twilit Igniter Fyrus]]. The Gorons had managed to use all of their strength to lock Darbus away, but continued to worry about their Patriarch and the fate of their tribe. They also chose to cut off all relations with Kakariko Village and outsiders to ensure continued safety. Gor Coron asked for the help of Link to save Darbus and the fate of the tribe. Link had to visit the three other elders within the mine, who were told about Link's assistance prior to Link visiting them. The key to the sealed room of Darbus had been broken into three pieces and been held by Gor Liggs, Gor Ebizo and Gor Amoto.<ref>{{cite|The key is split into three pieces. Each of us elders keeps a piece.|Gor Amoto|TP}}</ref> Link had to visit each elder to retrieve a piece of the key and to restore it. He also had to battle Dangoro for the Hero's Bow, and finally, had to defeat Fyrus to transform Darbus back to normal and to obtain the second Fused Shadow. This makes ''Twilight Princess'' the first game where Link had to battle Gorons. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====Side Quests involving Gorons==== |
||
| − | Once everything slowly got back to normal, the Gorons restored their past relation to Kakariko Village, some even went to visit the village as well. With the restored relation, [[Barnes]] as able to make and sell [[bomb]]s again. During the night, a child Goron will open up a stand in the village and sell [[Lantern Oil]], [[Potion#Red Potion|red potion]]s and [[Potion#Blue Potion|blue potion]]s. Two Gorons during the day time in the village will also offer to launch Link to either the village's hot spring or to the roof tops. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Gor Amoto and Gor Ebizo will also appear in [[Malo Mart]], taking [[Rupee]] donations so that the eastern bridge to Castle Town can be rebuilt, and so that a Malo Mart can open in Castle Town as well. Eventually Gor Coron and Darbus will come down and can be found in Renado's house, the Kakariko Village sanctuary. They seem to be there to help Renado with [[Ilia]]'s amnesia problem. When Link obtains the [[Wooden Statue]] and gives it to Ilia, it will jog her memory of [[Impaz]] who kept her safe in the [[Hidden Village]]. Darbus seems to know the location of this village and will even go out to unblock its sole pathway.<ref>{{cite|There is a hidden village up ahead, little human. The elders call it a forgotten place.|Darbus|TP}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Other appearances of Gorons in ''Twilight Princess'' includes a Goron merchant and his son in Castle Town, who were at one time selling hot spring water to people. This Goron can later be seen trying to unblock the entrance and exit of the Southern Castle Town gates. Although he won't be able to do it unless he drinks a [[bottle]] filled with hot spring water. When [[Wolf Link|Link]] is supposed to carry [[Midna]] back to [[Princess Zelda]] through [[Telma's Bar]], a Goron can be seen inside the bar, mentioning that he had escorted [[Telma]] back to the Castle Town, as well as complaining that he cannot stand the city air.<ref>{{cite|The elder told me to escort Telma, but... This city air does not suit my skin... Ugh... I cannot wait to return home and soak in the hot spring...|Goron|TP}}</ref> Finally, a Goron accidentally encased in the molten rock that Link used to unfreeze [[Zora's Domain]] can also be freed by Link. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Gorons have also apparently picked up the ability to stay underwater for extended periods of time and not need to breathe,<ref name="Quote1" /> as demonstrated by both a child Goron in the hot springs and the adult Goron Link frees from the rock in Zora Domain. It should also be noted that the Gorons have, what appears to be, their own language script which can be seen on the doors in the [[Goron Mines]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The beta version of ''Twilight Princess'' included a boss called [[Goron Golem]], which was formed from many many Gorons. In a video showcasing their appearance, they would attempt to punch Link. Although at the time when they were being showed, the programmers had not programmed them to damage Link. This idea was obviously scrapped in early development, as it is no longer within the final game. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the ending of ''Twilight Princess'', the Gorons can be seen in the ring doing what seems to be boxing, and not sumo-wrestling. It would seem that the elders had listened to the youngsters and had introduced a new sport of strength. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===''Phantom Hourglass''=== |
||
| − | {{ImageCaption|image=File:PH Goron.png|size=180px|align=right|caption=Gorons in ''Phantom Hourglass''|captionalign=center}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | In ''Phantom Hourglass'', a tribe of islander Gorons live on a large island in the south-eastern Great Sea, aptly titled [[Goron Island]]. Various adult and child Gorons can be found wandering around outside or residing in their cavern homes. As with ''The Wind Waker'', the Gorons have a yellow skin tone, but also include white markings, remarkably similar to the 'tattoos' seen on the Gorons in ''Twilight Princess''. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====Goron Island==== |
||
| − | During the events of ''Phantom Hourglass'', Link searches for the [[Pure Metal|pure metals]] to forge the [[Phantom Sword]], the only weapon that can defeat [[Bellum]]. Upon arrival on Goron Island, Link heads to retrieve the Gorons' treasure, the Crimsonine. As with most Gorons who first meet an outsider, Link was treated indifferently by the Gorons. Several of them offered advice or told several facts about their lives. Link eventually found a much larger cavern, home to [[Biggoron]], the tribe's leader, and his son [[Gongoron]]. Link asked for the Crimsonine but was refused it as he was just an outsider. However since Biggoron had a love for quiz games, decided that he would test Link in a quiz prove himself as a Goron. Link had to meet and talk to every other Goron on island to begin the quiz. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Afterwards, Link returned eligible to be tested. For the price of 20 rupees, Link was given six questions that all had to be answered correctly, and every correct question would yield him a couple of rupees as a prize. The questions was mostly concerned the Gorons of the island, such as how many homes there were or what some Gorons have talked about. After getting all of the questions right, Biggoron was amazed by Link's knowledge, rewarded him with a [[Spirit Gems#Wisdom Gem|Wisdom Gem]], and announced that he was now a Goron, provided if he paid 146 rupees, which was the very same amount that he won as prizes in the quiz. After paying the Goron leader, he was given the 'Goron name' Goro-Link and was now officially a part of the tribe. Upon Link's membership, Biggoron declared that Link was free to take the Crimsonine from the [[Goron Temple]] of the island |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====Goron Temple==== |
||
| − | Gongoron was meant to lead 'Goro-Link' to the temple, but he refused to accept Link as one of them and ran off hiding. After spotting him a few times on the island, Gongoron soon ran into the maze area of the island which also lead to the temple. A Goron who was guarding the maze's gates said that Gongoron had ran off inside the temple. After reaching the temple, Gongoron is no where to be seen. Link and [[Ciela]] did eventually find him trapped in another room. Even being freed, Gongoron still could not reach Link. Both characters had a series of obstacles in their way. The game then gives the ability to instantly switch between Link and Gongoron, and only by playing as each of them would their obstacles be removed. Gongoron had then found a tunnel small enough for him to crawl through and is once again separated from Link and Ciela. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The next time they see him, Gongoron is being attacked by [[Dongorongo]], the armored [[Dodongo]]. In the boss room, Gongoron and Link are separated by a pool of quicksand. Gongoron and Link both have to be controlled to defeat the boss, due to each ones abilities and Dongorongo's weaknesses. After Dondgorongo was hit enough times it has passed out, which Gongoron mistook as a defeat and runs off into the next room containing the Crimsonine. A bridge appears over the quicksand and allows Link to cross, only for it to disappear again as Dodongorongo awakens challenging Link again, this time without Gongoron's assistance. After its true defeat, Dodongorongo dissolves away into two minute's worth of [[Sands of Time]] for the [[Phantom Hourglass (Item)|Phantom Hourglass]], and Link hurries to the next room where Gongoron allows him to have the Crimsonine. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Back outside, Link visits Biggoron again who had been told what had happened by Gongoron. Biggoron, greatly impressed by Link's courage and strength, says that he is now worthy to leave the island; suggesting that all Gorons on the island have to leave at some point. This is also evident by a Goron outside who was watching [[Linebeck]]'s ship. Biggoron also leaves the Crimsonine with Link and says that he can do anything to it, such as boiling it or forging it. Link then leaves the island with the pure metal, not without the other Gorons saying their farewells and hoping that he would come back for a visit. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====Dee Ess Island==== |
||
| − | ''Phantom Hourglass'' Gorons adhere to the Goron tradition of minigame hosting. After obtaining the Crimsonine, a new game, run by Gorons will become available on [[Dee Ess Island]]. Playability shifts to Gongoron during the [[Goron Game]]. The obstacle course cost 50 Rupees to play and prizes are said to be better depending on the completion time. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===''Spirit Tracks''=== |
||
| − | In {{ST}}, the [[Goron Village (Spirit Tracks)|Goron Village]] is situated in the [[Fire Realm]], the north-eastern quadrant of ''Spirit Tracks''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s overworld. It is ruled by a Goron Elder. Upon first visiting the Goron Village, Link finds that the entrance to the village is blocked by fire geysers. At the altar to the north-west of the village, Link meets [[Kagoron]], a prominent Goron in the village who acts as the spiritual connection between the Gorons and the [[Mountain Goddess]] whom they worship. Kagoron grants him a freight car to add to his train. Link then uses this to transport [[Mega ice|ice]] from the [[Wellspring Station]] back to Goron Village, thus extinguishing the flames blocking his way to the village. Once in the village, Link is granted access to the Fire Sanctuary by the Goron Elder, who first notes that Link must prove himself (possibly a reference to Biggoron's test in ''Phantom Hourglass''), only to be swayed moments later when [[Goron Elder's Grandson|his grandson]] runs into the room, noting that Link was the one whose efforts put out the lava. |
||
| − | |||
| − | After gaining the Spirit Tracks to the [[Fire Temple (Spirit Tracks)|Fire Temple]], Link is informed by the Goron Elder that the key to the Fire Temple must be obtained by defeating three beasts terrorizing the rails. The Gorons of the village give Link helpful advice on how to defeat these enemies. |

||
| − | [[File:ChildGoron.png|right|100px]] |
||
| − | Gorons feature in two mini-games in ''Spirit Tracks'': the [[Goron Target Range]] and the [[Pirate Hideout]]. The former is situated near the Goron Village, and is run by a solitary Goron child. The Pirate Hideout is found in the Ocean Realm, and is essentially an archery mini-game in which Link rescues a Goron child captured by the [[Miniblin]] pirates in order to earn treasure (as well as a big quiver and a Heart Container). |

| − | |||
| − | One sidequest involves transporting the [[Goron Elder's grandson]] from the Goron Village to [[Hyrule Castle Town]]. The reward is a [[Force Gem]], and he will later reward Link with a Goron Amber once he realizes that the city is not what he expected, but he will make the most of it. Notably, the humans who live in Hyrule Castle Town have racist sentiments against Gorons.<ref>{{cite|Oh, let me tell you, friend... It is hard times living in the city, especially for a Goron like me. I go to the castle, and the guards tell me no rocks are allowed inside. Most folks think that I look like a boulder and that I should be treated as one. And do not get me started on the prices. One Cucco costs an arm and a leg! I am broke. Just the other day, I used the last of the money Gramps gave me. This place is so different from Goron Village... And I am so very tired.|Goron Elder's Grandson|ST}}</ref><ref>{{cite|Ugh! What is this rocky lump? And why is it talking to me?|Castle Town woman|ST}}</ref> |

| − | Another sidequest involves taking a Goron to [[Anouki Village]] so it can see what [[snow]] is. Upon arriving in Anouki Village the Goron is met by an [[Anouki]] claiming to be the [[Honcho]]. Link is then awarded a Force Gem while the Goron takes residence in the Honcho's house, much to the real Honcho's dismay. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Another involves the transportation of [[Dark Ore]] from the [[Dark Ore Mine]] to [[Linebeck III]]'s Trading Post. This Dark Ore is mined by Gorons, who happily provide Link with some of this rare material in return for rupees. Furthermore, after visiting the Dark Ore Mine, Link receives a letter from Kagoron, telling him where to find treasure that the Goron had buried at the Mine as a child. |

| − | In {{SS}}, Gorons serve as one of the five [[Hyrule|Surface]] tribes, although only three Gorons appear as characters. Two of them inhabit the [[Lanayru Desert]], while a third explores the world as an achaeologist. As one of the Surface tribes, the Gorons stood alongside [[Hylia]] against [[Demise]]. |
||

| − | Link first meets [[Gorko]] at the [[Sealed Grounds]], where he saves the Goron from a pack of [[Bokoblin]]s. As thanks, Gorko shares some of his knowledge on the myths of the '[[Skyloft|Isle of the Goddess]]', and explains that he is currently researching the [[Bird Statue]]s and [[Goddess Cube]]s. Once Link obtains the [[Goddess's Harp]], Gorko lets him in on his research into the [[Sheikah Stone]]s and [[Goddess Wall]]s. These artifacts are all activated by Link's presence or actions, which stuns and amazes the Goron. After Link discovers a Goddess Wall at the Sealed Grounds, Gorko asks Link to experiment with the wall and help him figure out the various riddles for it that he found during his research. |

| − | On his way to the Lanayru Sand Sea through the Lanayru Caves, Link meets a Goron named [[Golo]], who is busy digging his way into Lanayru Gorge, the domain of the Thunder Dragon Lanayru. He gives Link a Small Key to open the door to the Sand Sea, and by the time Link returns looking for Lanayru, he has broken a small tunnel through the rocks that he allows Link to use. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A third Goron, [[Gortram]], resides at the Sand Sea's Shipyard, where he frequently rides the rails. He runs the [[Rickety Coaster]] minigame, challenging Link to beat his own times on the track. |

| − | ==Baby Gorons and Mothers== |
||
| − | {{Theory|start}} |
||
| − | Throughout the course of many ''Zelda'' titles, young or baby Gorons have appeared, including Link the Goron who is Darunia's son, Baby Goron the son of the Goron Elder, several other baby Gorons who have appeared in ''Twilight Princess'', as well as Gongoro who is the son of Biggoron. Although fathers and Goron children have been mentioned and seen many a time, seemingly no female Gorons have been introduced, spoken of, or seen in the entire ''Zelda'' series which has made many fans wonder where baby Gorons come from. Though a female Goron makes an apperanace in the non-canon ''Ocarina of Time'' manga, this female is physically different in that she had longer eyelashes. Some theorists have come up with many fan made answers to this question. One theory is that the females are there, but are never seen in the games. A second theory is that the females and males look so much alike that it's impossible to tell them apart. A third theory suggest that Gorons are born through "Volcanic Birth", a process through which they are conceived when the earth itself channels the essence of Din, the Goddess of power, into life. This theory sustains the idea that Gorons are children of the earth, and also explains why Gorons have never evolved throughout the series. Other theories, although less common, include the theory of an [[Wikipedia:Asexual reproduction|asexual reproduction]] and the theory that the gigantic Biggorons in the series could possibly be a Queen Goron, serving a similar function to queen ants in an ant colony. |

| − | ==Trivia== |
||
| − | *The name Goron may have originated from ゴロゴロ ''goro goro'', Japanese {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for the sound of a rolling rock, or more specifically, a boulder. |
||
| − | *The name Goron could also be related to the word ''gora'' ("mountain") found in various Slavic languages.<ref>[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Proto-Slavic/gora#Proto-Slavic Wiktionary]</ref> This would be appropriate as the Gorons' homeland is up in the mountains. |
||
| − | *The only ''Zelda'' games which featured ''all'' of its Gorons wearing human-like clothing was in ''The Wind Waker'' and ''Four Swords Adventures'', although a few Gorons were also seen wearing human clothing in ''The Minish Cap'' and ''Phantom Hourglass'' as well. In other titles, such as ''Twilight Princess'', Gorons can be seen wearing either arm and/or leg bands, and loincloths. |

Revision as of 16:37, 27 April 2017
Template:Dungeon Lanno Kooh Shrine, designated by the Trial name Lanno Kooh's Blessing, is a Shrine of Trials in Breath of the Wild.
Entrance to the Shrine
Lanno Kooh Shrine is located in the northeast of the Tabantha Frontier, under a rock formation, downriver of the Hebra Headspring and Hebra Falls. To access the Shrine, Link can fell a tree and ride it downriver through the Hebra Headspring and Hebra Falls until it reaches the Shrine. Alternatively, Link can attempt to swim through the cold water of the river surrounding the Shrine without succumbing to the extreme cold. As Link enters the Shrine, he is greeted by the Shrine's Monk, Lanno Kooh, who states that merely being able to enter the Shrine is proof of Link's worth.[1]
Lanno Kooh Shrine features no puzzles, simply a direct path to Lanno Kooh. Along this path is a Treasure Chest containing a Gold Rupee. As Link approaches Lanno Kooh, he will give Link a Spirit Orb for reaching the Shrine,[2] and will wish Link well before fading away.[3]
