'''Gorons''' are a | '''Gorons''' are a rock-eating species typically found on [[Death Mountain]]. They are capable of rolling into [[boulder]]-like balls to travel faster, and are extremely durable. They can easily survive contact with [[lava]], and can breath underwater, though they are incapable of swimming. Gorons have also been shown being frozen or trapped under rocks and coming out no worse for wear. However, they are not invincible. All Gorons refer to each other as male, typically as "brothers." Dspite this, they are seemingly allowed into [[Gerudo]] settlements despite this. They are often shown mining or tending [[Bomb Flower]]s for a living. Despite their somewhat simple appearance and demeanor, Gorons are fairly technologically advanced in comparison to most other species of Hyrule, creating many types of explosives and mining equipment. Additionally, Goron-made weaponry is often very strong. Since their introduction, Gorons have become among the most heavily-recurring races in the franchise, and appear in various time periods. In Japanese, they have a verbal tic causing them to end most of their sentences with "-goro," though in all but a few cases this is dropped in English. | ||

Gorons are introduced in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' as the rock-eating people of [[Goron City]] in Death Mountain, who specialize in [[bomb]]-making and Bomb Flower-raising. Most are depicted with short, wide beards and conical hair.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'', Gorons live in the magma-filled [[Goron Mountain]] in [[Holodrum]], a location permanently in winter. Due to the seasons being thrown into chaos from the sinking of the [[Temple of Seasons]], Goron Mountain has become colder than normal, causing some Gorons to worry that they will get sick by simply stepping outside of the caves. This in fact happens to Biggoron, being too large for the caves. This game additionally features red-colored Gorons. In a linked game, another Goron will appear, claiming to be a descendent of the Goron Elder in ''Oracle of Ages'', the Elder having traveled there long ago. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'', Gorons live in the magma-filled [[Goron Mountain]] in [[Holodrum]], a location permanently in winter.

They have heavily tattooed bodies and have hair resembling cornrows. They enjoy sumo wrestling and relaxing in the hot springs around the mountain. After their patriarch, [[Darbus]] comes in contact with one of the [[Fused Shadows]] and becomes an insane monster known as [[Fyrus]], the Gorons close off their borders so they can attempt to figure out how to solve this problem, rolling back anyone who attempts to enter. Once Link uses the [[Iron Boots]] to get past the Gorons and defeat [[Gor Coron]], their interrim leader in a sumo match, they allow him into [[Goron Mines]], where he must find the other Goron Leaders to assemble the key to Fyrus's room. Once Fyrus is restored into Darbus, the Gorons reopen Goron City to outsiders. | ||
In [[Hyrule Castle Town]], a Goron and his son sell [[Hot Spring Water]] to townsfolk, but recent events have caused a shortage, which Link can help out with for a [[Piece of Heart]]. Another is trapped inside a giant volcanic rock that shoots out of Death Mountain when Link arrives. The rock is later warped to [[Zora's Domain]] to undo its freezing, and then can be exploded with a [[Water Bomb]], freeing the Goron. Despite now being trapped at the bottom of a watery pit, the Goron enjoys the change of scenery and climate. Two of the Goron leaders, [[Gor Ebizo]] and [[Gor Liggs]], help [[Malo]] with starting and funding his [[Malo Mart]] business and chain, and Gor Coron and Darbus help Link with recovering [[Ilia]]'s memory. | |||

After he passes the quiz, the Gorons will henceforth append "Goro-" to the front of his name. The Goron society in this game is far less advanced than most depictions, as the opening of a shop on the island is treated as a remarkable innovation for them. Also on Goron Island is the outsider-restricted [[Goron Temple]], where Biggoron's son, [[Gongoron]] has gone missing, and needs to be found by Link. | ||

They are led by the notoriously fierce [[Bludo]], although in his old age he has begun suffering from chronic back pain. Bludo is assisted by the timid [[Yunobo]], a descendent of the champion [[Daruk]]. Due to [[Vah Rudania]] climbing around Death Mountain and causing it to erupt constantly, they have been unable to mine there, while certain other areas have become too hot to stay within safely. Despite Bludo and Yunobo's best efforts, Vah Rudania continues to menace them, leading Bludo to close up the [[Bridge of Eldin]] to prevent it from crossing. Once Link boards Vah Rudania with Yunobo's help and defeats [[Fireblight Ganon]], the Gorons' lives go back to normal. | ||

Normal Goron soldiers look like typical Gorons from ''Ocarina of Time''. Goron [[archer]]s, unlike most archers, throw boulders instead of shooting arrows. Both major and minor Goron Captains wear prominent helmets, with the major ones being larger. Goron [[summoner]]s wear a laurel wreath.

Probably for this reason, the base original contains no map icon for Goron summoners, instead just using the [[Bokoblin]] summoner icon. When they appear in DLC modes and reissues, they have their own icon, however. When Gorons are defeated, they make a loud "Hoo!" cry. | Normal Goron soldiers look like typical Gorons from ''Ocarina of Time''.
