The '''Goron Elder's Son''' is a character in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''.
   
  +
==Biography==
'''Turtle Rock''' is the eighth and last of the main dungeons in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', and the location of the [[Thunder Drum]]. The entrance to the dungeon is located in a cave at the far west of [[Koholint Island]]'s [[Tal Tal Mountain Range]]. The mini-boss of this dungeon is [[Blaino]]; in addition to this new mini-boss, numerous mini-bosses from previous dungeons in the game reappear. The main item of the dungeon is the [[Magic Rod]], and the boss is the fiery [[Hot Head]].

The Goron Elder's Son lives in the [[Goron Village (Majora's Mask)|Goron Village]] and can be found crying inside the [[Goron Village (Majora's Mask)#Goron Shrine|Goron Shrine]].

==Entrance to the Rock==
 
To reach the dungeon, [[Link]] has to travel through several [[cave]]s from the center of [[Tal Tal Mountain Range]]. He eventually encounters a cannon spewing out an endless supply of fireballs, preventing Link from going any further. However, by using the [[Mirror Shield]], obtained from the seventh dungeon, [[Eagle's Tower]], Link manages to get past the fireballs unharmed. Upon reaching Turtle Rock's entrance, he finds that its entrance is a cave guarded by two [[Takkuri]] and a [[Turtle Rock (Boss)|stone head of a turtle]] and stone legs sticking out of the mountain walls, akin to the entrance of the same-named dungeon in ''A Link to the Past''. By playing the [[Frog's Song of Soul]], the stone head springs to life and becomes the boss also known as [[Turtle Rock (Boss)|Turtle Rock]], who attacks Link.<ref>{{Cite|The next Sirens' Instrument is in the west.

When Link defeats [[Goht]] at Snowhead, the baby will be waiting for him outside the [[Goron Races]] and will cry again because it is blocked, but Link can fix that if he blows up the entrance with a [[Powder Keg]]. After that, the baby will root for Link in the races.
==Themes and Navigation==
 
The dungeon appears to be a volcano, as there are many lava pits scattered throughout it. The walls are red and the floors are yellow. There are two rooms which connect to the peak of the western Tal Tal Mountain Range, and exiting and reentering the dungeon is necessary to proceed. A recurring puzzle in this dungeon involves the use of flashing blocks which create land when pushed over holes or lava. In some rooms, it is only necessary to create a path, while in others, covering all of the holes makes a chest appear.
 
 
This dungeon is notable for the fact that it features many previously encountered mini-bosses as enemies, many which have to be defeated for a [[Key|small key]] or to move on. These include [[Rolling Bones]], [[Hinox]], [[Dodongo Snakes]], and [[Smasher]]. These mini-bosses effectively act like normal enemies, as they will reappear at a later time. [[Cue Ball]], another previous mini-boss also appears, sometimes known in this instance as '''Fire Cephalopod''', but does not reappear upon its defeat unlike the others. However, the true mini-boss of this dungeon is [[Blaino]], a creature which uses its boxing gloves to hurt Link and send him to the entrance of the dungeon.
 
 
Some passageways defy the predominant fire theme of the dungeon, as they are frozen and have ice [[block]]s. The main tool of this dungeon is the [[Magic Rod]], which is necessary to burn away the ice blocks and to defeat the dungeon's boss, [[Hot Head]], a giant fireball that lives in a pool of lava.
 
 
When viewed on a map, the dungeon is in the shape of a turtle, which fits the appearance of the exterior of this dungeon. As with ''A Link to the Past'', this dungeon's name is a reference that the outside mountain walls has two feet and a head, giving it the impression of a turtle.

==Trivia==
 
*This is the only dungeon in the ''Zelda'' series that has a boss directly guarding its entrance.
 
*It is possible to bypass the fireball cannon and access the dungeon without the Mirror Shield. Link may run headfirst into the flames after being given [[Crazy Tracy]]'s [[Secret Medicine]], which gives him a long enough respite to cross the flames while the medicine revives his hearts.

Template:Character The Goron Elder's Son is a character in Majora's Mask.

Biography

The Goron Elder's Son lives in the Goron Village and can be found crying inside the Goron Shrine. He wails so loudly that he extinguishes the torches outside of his room.[1] The Gorons inside the shrine hold their heads to try and muffle the shrill, sharp cry of the baby. He is crying because the Goron Elder, his father, has gone out and hasn't come back.[2]

When Link unfreezes the Goron Elder, he teaches the young hero the intro to the Goron Lullaby, called the Lullaby Intro.[3] To learn the rest, Link must play the intro in front of the baby, who will sing the rest of the notes.[4] After Link learns the full song, the baby will become calm and fall asleep, as will several of the surrounding Gorons.[5]

When Link defeats Goht at Snowhead, the baby will be waiting for him outside the Goron Races and will cry again because it is blocked, but Link can fix that if he blows up the entrance with a Powder Keg. After that, the baby will root for Link in the races.
