Goron Tunic



The Goron Tunic is one of the three tunics that appear in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and its Nintendo 3DS remake, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. It is a red tunic that allows Link to withstand hot temperatures of the Death Mountain Crater and the Fire Temple, thus protecting him from eventually fainting. The Goron Tunic increases Link's defense, by reducing the amount of damage he takes from fiery traps. It also allows Link to harmlessly move across shallow lava, floor spikes, and poisonous water for a longer period of time. Like the Zora Tunic, Link can only wear the Goron Tunic as an adult.

Link can obtain the Goron Tunic if he stops Darunia's son, also named Link, from rolling around Goron City. Sometimes, if Link is swallowed then spit out by a Like Like, it swallows the Goron Tunic. Link can quickly recover it by quickly defeating the Like Like. If Link loses his Goron Tunic, he can go to the Goron Shop to buy another one for 200 Rupees.

According to the Nintendo Player's Guide, the Goron Tunic was made from "Dodongo hides" and "Bomb Flower fibers".

In the Super Smash Bros. series and Soulcalibur II, one of Link's alternate costumes is a red tunic, which resembles the Goron Tunic. The Goron Tunic itself resembles the Red Mail from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
