'''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." Despite this, they are seemingly allowed into [[Gerudo]] settlements. 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. They live primarily off the easily-obtained [[Rock Sirloin]] found in [[Dodongo's Cavern]], but due to [[Ganondorf]] placing [[Dodongo]]s in it, they are unable to, causing them to risk starvation. They are led by [[Darunia]], who guards the [[Goron's Ruby]]. He gives [[Link]] the [[Goron's Bracelet]], which he uses to enter Dodongo's Cavern and defeat [[King Dodongo]].

Seven years later, Ganondorf has resurrected an ancient Goron-eating dragon called [[Volvagia]], and most of the Gorons in Goron City are taken prisoner in the [[Fire Temple]]. Link must rescue them all and defeat Volvagia using the help of an ancient Goron weapon called the [[Megaton Hammer]]. | Seven years later, Ganondorf has resurrected an ancient Goron-eating dragon called [[Volvagia]], and most of the Gorons in Goron City are taken prisoner in the [[Fire Temple]].

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.

Link must clear each in order to access the [[Mermaid's Cave]] in both the past and present. They also farm Bomb Flowers, which Link introduces there in the past when freeing the Goron Elder from a boulder that had fallen on him. This game features some blue-colored Gorons. | ||

Gorons appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap]]''. According to their figurine, they were once plentiful on [[Mount Crenel]], but now are confined mostly to caves in much smaller numbers. One can be found near [[Lon Lon Ranch]], punching into a [[bombable wall]] to try and break through. After a [[Kinstone]] fusion with [[Eenie and Meenie|Eenie]], he receives the strength to succeed. Inside, he finds an even stronger wall he needs help from another Goron to destroy, then one that requires a total of four Gorons, and then on that requires six.

When all the Gorons are united, the treasure at the end is revealed to be an [[Empty Bottle]]. | |||

They are also much taller and less fat than most depictions. They enjoy sumo wrestling and relaxing in the hot springs around the mountain.

Once he gets to the top of Goron City, he must use them to defeat their interim leader [[Gor Coron]] in a sumo match. After this, 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. | ||
At this point, Gorons start appearing in [[Kakariko Village]] to sell their bombs, and some offer to catapult Link to higher areas by having him stand on their backs while rolled up, then rapidly uncurling. 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. | At this point, Gorons start appearing in [[Kakariko Village]] to sell their bombs, and some offer to catapult Link to higher areas by having him stand on their backs while rolled up, then rapidly uncurling.

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.

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.

It is also shown here while attempting Gerudo language that some Gorons have trouble differentiating between the "B" and "V" sounds, likely in reference to how some real languages (like Japanese) transliterate them to the same sound. | ||
