==Features and Overview==
==={{OoT|-}}===
==={{OoT|-}}===
Goron City is the main gateway to [[Death Mountain Crater]] and, ultimately, the {{Term|OoT3D|Fire Temple|link}}. It also has a portal that leads to the [[Lost Woods]], but its entrance is blocked by rocks that [[Link]] must destroy with [[Bomb]]s. Paintings of the Gorons, the Dodongos, and other abstract shapes can be seen all around the city walls. The structure consists of four floors, with the entrance being at the top floor. The lowest floor has the two most important locations of Goron City: the [[Goron Shop]] and Darunia's chamber, the latter of which is initially closed off until [[Zelda's Lullaby|proof of connection with the Royal Family]] is shown. Within Darunia's chamber is a stone monument that blocks off the entrance to Death Mountain Crater which Link will only be able to move once he turns into an adult.

There is also a portal to the [[Lost Woods]], but its entrance is blocked by rocks that [[Link]] must destroy with [[Bomb]]s. Paintings of Gorons, Dodongos, and other abstract shapes can be seen all around the city walls. The city consists of four floors, with the entrance on the top floor. The lowest floor has two important points of interest: the [[Goron Shop]] and [[Darunia]]'s chamber, which is initially closed off until Link proves his [[Zelda's Lullaby|connection with the Royal Family]]. Within the chamber is a heavy stone monument blocking off the entrance to Death Mountain Crater. Link can move this obstacle once he is an adult.
 
Also on the bottom floor is a giant vase which spins once Link lights up all of the city's torches. Situated at the center of the city is a platform suspended by ropes where the Spiritual Stone of Fire, also known as the [[Spiritual Stones#Goron's Ruby|Goron's Ruby]], was once displayed; it used to light up the city before Darunia took it away.<ref>{{Cite|"Spiritual Stone?" That red stone that was lighting up our city? Big Brother Darunia took it away. Then, he shut himself up in his room and won't come out.|Goron|OoT}}</ref>

Seven years later, after Link retrieves the [[Master Sword]], he returns to Goron City to find that all of its citizens are gone. He notices a lone Goron rolling around the third floor, and, after much trouble, Link manages to stop him using a Bomb. The Goron turns out to be [[Link (Goron)#Ocarina of Time|Darunia's son]], who informs the young hero about the revival of the ancient dragon known as [[Volvagia]]. Due to this, Darunia left to the Fire Temple to try and defeat the dragon; however, while he was gone, all the Gorons were taken by [[Ganondorf]] as prisoners to the temple in order to feed them to Volvagia as a warning to those who might oppose him.<ref>{{Cite|Everybody was taken to the Fire Temple...

To do so, Darunia's son grants him the heat-resistant tunic known as the [[Goron Tunic]], which helps Link stay in the intense heats of the [[Death Mountain Crater]] and the Fire Temple for long periods of time.<ref>{{Cite|Please help, Link! I'll give you this heat-resistant tunic!|Link (Goron)|OoT}}</ref>
Seven years later, after retrieving the [[Master Sword]], Link returns to Goron City to find that all of its citizens are gone. He notices a lone Goron rolling around the third floor and stops him with a Bomb. Link discovers the Goron is [[Link (Goron)#Ocarina of Time|Darunia's son]] who informs him about the revival of [[Volvagia]], an ancient Dragon who eats Gorons. Due to this situation, Darunia went to the Fire Temple to try and defeat Volvagia; however, while he was gone, all the Gorons were taken by [[Ganondorf]] as prisoners into the temple where they would be fed to Volvagia as a warning to those who might oppose him.<ref>{{Cite|Everybody was taken to the Fire Temple...

Goron City is located west of [[Death Mountain]] in [[Eldin Canyon]]. One hundred years ago, it spared any direct damage during the Great Calamity.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book=CaC|publisher= |page=400}}</ref> A winding road leading from the entrance to Eldin from [[Trilby Valley]] paves the way to the settlement. Unlike Goron City's previous appearance, the Gorons no longer inhabit a cave complex, but have instead built a little town surrounding a pool of lava, which is crossed by bridges. The Gorons live and commerce inside of stone shanties. The road passing through Goron City continues to the [[Abandoned North Mine]], where a tunnel further ahead leads to the [[Stolock Bridge]], a long bridge that crosses overhead Goron City before continuing to Death Mountain. A statue of rocks in the likeness of [[Daruk]], the deceased Goron [[Champion]], stands near the Bridge overlooking the City, accompanied by a statue of {{Term|BotW|Darmani III|link}} and the {{Term|BotW|Goron Elder's Son|link}}, both of {{Term|BotW|Termina|link}}, and the once head elder {{Term|TP|Gor Coron|link}}.

Goron City is home to several businesses, including the [[Goron Gusto Shop]], [[Protein Palace]], [[Ripped and Shredded]], and [[Rollin' Inn]]. A Goron child named [[Offrak]] also sells [[Fireproof Elixir]]s for 60 [[Rupee]]s to travelers who cannot withstand the heat.<ref>{{Cite|Here's what I'll do, fella.

In order to traverse {{Term|BotW|Goron City}} without taking damage, {{Term|BotW|Link|link}} requires at least one level of {{Term|BotW|Flame Guard|link}}. The intense {{Term|BotW|Heat|link}} surrounding {{Term|BotW|Goron City}} has caused the number of visiting {{Term|BotW|Hylian|link}} tourists to decrease.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= CaC |publisher= |page= 296}}</ref>


Link arrives to Goron City on his quest to free the {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Rudania|link}} from [[Calamity Ganon]]'s influence. There he meets the Gorons' Boss, [[Bludo]], who explains to him that the Gorons have been using [[Cannon]]s to drive away Vah Rudania.<ref>{{Cite|I can't tell ya how many times we've used the {{Color|BotW Red|cannon}} to chase off that fiend.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> Bludo was planning to use the Cannon again, but is unable to due to his chronic back pain.<ref>{{Cite|I was plannin' to drive off {{Color|BotW Blue|Rudania}} like I always do, but then this blasted pain in my back flared up outta nowhere...|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> He had sent his assistand and Daruk's grandson, [[Yunobo]], to the Abandoned North Mine to retrieve him some painkillers, but he had yet to return.<ref>{{Cite|He went to grab some painkillers for my back from the {{Color|BotW Red|Abandoned North Mine}}, but he hasn't come back yet...|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> Bludo sends Link to find Yunobo in his stead, beginning the "[[Divine Beast Vah Rudania (Quest)|Divine Beast Vah Rudania]]" [[Main Quest]]. Link manages to find Yunobo and returns to Bludo, who then tells him about Daruk and points to his statue, invoking a [[Memory]] of him in Link. However, even after taking the painkillers, Bludo's back is still too sore and he asks Link to tell Yunobo that he is forced to cancel their plans.<ref>{{Cite|I hate to put you on the spot, but... can ya please go tell Yunobo that I'm gonna have to cancel for today? He should be at {{Color|BotW Red|Eldin Bridge}}.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> When Link reaches the Bridge of Eldin, he finds Yunobo being harassed by two [[Black Moblin]]s.
While the "{{Term|BotW|Captured Memories|link}}" {{Term|BotW|Main Quest|link}} is active, {{Term|BotW|Link}} is able to encounter {{Term|BotW|Pikango|link}} in {{Term|BotW|Goron City}}. When spoken to, he is able to identify the location of the fifth {{Term|BotW|Picture|link}} in {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s {{Term|BotW|Album|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Hmm...

Later, after Link has boarded the Divine Beast Vah Rudania and defeated [[Fireblight Ganon]], freeing Vah Rudania from its influence, he returns to Goron City and is rewarded for his efforts. Bludo gives him the [[Boulder Breaker]], a sword that Daruk once wielded, which is stored inside of a [[Treasure Chest]] in Bludo's house.<ref>{{Cite|... Oh, right!

During the "{{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Rudania (Quest)|link}}" {{Term|BotW|Main Quest}}, {{Term|BotW|Link}} finds {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} preparing to drive back the {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast|link}}, though he is unable to proceed until {{Term|BotW|Yunobo|link}} returns to {{Term|BotW|Goron City}} with painkillers for his back.<ref>{{Cite|I was plannin' to drive off {{Color|BotW Blue|Rudania}} like I always do, but then this blasted pain in my back flared up outta nowhere... {{Small|That blasted {{Color|BotW Red|Yunobo}}...

In addition to the Main Quest, Link also meets other characters in Goron City who give him other Quests. The [[Side Quest]]s "[[The Road to Respect]]" and "[[The Jewel Trade]]", and the [[Shrine Quest]] "[[A Brother's Roast]]", all begin here.

The '''Goron Gusto Shop''' is a general store managed by [[Tanko]]. The store stocks in a few items, including [[Rock Salt]], [[Cane Sugar]] and [[Fire Arrow|Fire]] and [[Ice Arrow]]s. It is also the only Place where Link can reliably get [[Goron Spice]], as [[Stamm]] and [[Yammo]] only sell it on rainy days.

'''Ripped and Shredded''' is an [[Armor]] shop managed by [[Rogaro]] that sells the [[Flamebreaker Armor]] equipment. Speaking to Rogaro when not wearing any of the flamebreaker armour causes him to panic, so most interactions are cut short until you equip a bit. A Goron named [[Pyle]] sits outside it, as he lost his Job as a miner because of [[Divine Beast Vah Rudania]] and has nothing else to do.

Due to the dormancy of Death Mountain, Goron City no longer requires flame resistance to access. Additionally, the vast majority of the lava in the area has cooled, making it safe to walk on.


====Rollin' Inn====
Following the Upheaval, much of Gordon City's population has become addicted to [[Marbled Rock Roast]], crippling business in the city and causing the shopkeepers to raise their prices to outlandish extremes.
{{Main|Rollin' Inn}}
 
'''Rollin' Inn''' is an inn managed by [[Tray]], who provides a mostly pain free massage that will cause you to feel as "loose as gravel", and gives Link three temporary [[Heart]]s and one temporary ring of [[Stamina]], for the cost of 80 [[Rupee]]s. An elderly Goron named [[Volcon]] stands outside of the Inn, encouraging travelers to stay. The traveling [[Sheikah]] painter [[Pikango]] can be found sleeping here when Link does not have the [[Memory]] from the corresponding area, as can [[Ramella]], though she'll only be willing to trade after the "{{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Rudania (Quest)|link}}" {{Term|BotW|Main Quest|link}} is complete.

Not to be confused with Goron Village.

Goron City,(OoT | BotW | HWAoC)[1][2][3][4] also known as the Home of the Gorons,(OoT)[5] is a recurring location in The Legend of Zelda series. It is the home of the Goron Tribe.[6] It is located nearby Death Mountain.

Features and Overview

Ocarina of Time

Goron City is the main gateway to Death Mountain Crater which leads to the Fire Temple. There is also a portal to the Lost Woods, but its entrance is blocked by rocks that Link must destroy with Bombs. Paintings of Gorons, Dodongos, and other abstract shapes can be seen all around the city walls. The city consists of four floors, with the entrance on the top floor. The lowest floor has two important points of interest: the Goron Shop and Darunia's chamber, which is initially closed off until Link proves his connection with the Royal Family. Within the chamber is a heavy stone monument blocking off the entrance to Death Mountain Crater. Link can move this obstacle once he is an adult.

Also on the bottom floor is a giant vase which spins once Link lights up all of the city's torches. Situated at the center of the city is a platform suspended by ropes where the Spiritual Stone of Fire, also known as the Goron's Ruby, was once displayed; it used to light up the city before Darunia took it away.[7]

When young Link arrives at Goron City, he finds the source of the Goron's troubles: their source of food, Dodongo's Cavern, has been blocked by a giant boulder thus endangering their lives.[8] Their leader, Darunia, locks himself up in his chamber and won't let anyone in unless they are connected to the Royal Family of Hyrule.[9] Once Link shows his proof of connection with the Royal Family, the door opens, allowing Link to speak to the Goron chief. Darunia, though reluctant at first,[10] lets Link help them by having him destroy the Dodongos in Dodongo's Cavern.[11]

After Link defeats King Dodongo and clears the infested cavern, Darunia gives him the Goron's Ruby and calls him a Sworn Brother.[12]

Seven years later, after retrieving the Master Sword, Link returns to Goron City to find that all of its citizens are gone. He notices a lone Goron rolling around the third floor and stops him with a Bomb. Link discovers the Goron is Darunia's son who informs him about the revival of Volvagia, an ancient Dragon who eats Gorons. Due to this situation, Darunia went to the Fire Temple to try and defeat Volvagia; however, while he was gone, all the Gorons were taken by Ganondorf as prisoners into the temple where they would be fed to Volvagia as a warning to those who might oppose him.[13] Darunia's son pleads for Link to go and save Darunia. So, Darunia's son gives him the Goron Tunic, a tunic which lets Link endure the heat of Death Mountain Crater and the Fire Temple indefinitely, so long as it is worn.[14]

Once Link rescues all the Gorons from the Fire Temple, they will return to the city and thank Link for saving them.[15][16]

The Goron Stone Memorial in Goron City

Goron City is located west of Death Mountain in Eldin Canyon, denoted by the fifth Death Mountain Marker.[17] It consists of a series of rocky buildings, with several bridges providing safe passage over a pool of Lava below the City. The Goron Stone Memorial, which depicts several famous Gorons overlooks Goron City.[18] Goron City's Goddess Statue can be found outside of the Boss's House. The Mountain Road cuts through the City before continuing on to the Abandoned North Mine. The path curves around the Goron Stone Memorial and across Stolock Bridge, which is situated above Goron City.

100 years ago, Goron City was spared any direct damage during the Great Calamity, save for their Champion Daruk's death.[18] Sometime afterwards, Bludo founded the Goron Group Mining Company after noticing the other races of Hyrule would purchase the Gems that the Gorons considered to be useless.[19] In modern times, the Mining Company is the main industry of Goron City, driving the local economy.[19] When Divine Beast Vah Rudania began its rampage, it created eruptions on Death Mountain, resulting in Goron City falling under a Scorching Climate. In order to traverse Goron City without taking damage, Link requires at least one level of Flame Guard. The intense Heat surrounding Goron City has caused the number of visiting Hylian tourists to decrease.[20]

While the "Captured Memories" Main Quest is active, Link is able to encounter Pikango in Goron City. When spoken to, he is able to identify the location of the fifth Picture in Link's Album.[21]

During the "Divine Beast Vah Rudania" Main Quest, Link finds Bludo preparing to drive back the Divine Beast, though he is unable to proceed until Yunobo returns to Goron City with painkillers for his back.[22][23] Even after taking his painkillers, however, Bludo is unable to continue on, so he asks Link to cancel his plans with Yunobo on his behalf.[24] After Link calms Divine Beast Vah Rudania, Bludo will reward him with the Boulder Breaker, which he can take from a Treasure Chest in the Boss's House.[25]

"The Road to Respect" Side Quest and the "A Brother's Roast" Shrine Quest can both be found in Goron City.[26][27] Once the "Divine Beast Vah Rudania" Main Quest has been completed, "The Jewel Trade" Side Quest will also become available.[28]

Due to the dormancy of Death Mountain, Goron City no longer requires flame resistance to access. Additionally, the vast majority of the lava in the area has cooled, making it safe to walk on.

Following the Upheaval, much of Gordon City's population has become addicted to Marbled Rock Roast, crippling business in the city and causing the shopkeepers to raise their prices to outlandish extremes.
