Gortram is one of the few Gorons encountered in Skyward Sword. He runs the Rickety Coaster mini-game at the Shipyard in the Lanayru Sand Sea

Biography

Gortram is a large bearded Goron that has been living alone in the Shipyard that is located in the Lanayru Sand Sea for ages. However, he doesn't mind this because he gets to ride the mine carts all day long. [1] Gortram is first seen when Link visits the mine cart station in order to get to the Shipyard that is told to hold more clues about the Sandship. Gortram agrees to allow Link to ride the mine carts, but only after explaining how to ride a mine cart in a safe way.[2] The Goron also asks Link to tell more people about the Rickety Coaster because he wants more people to visit the Rickety Coaster minetrack.

After Link defeats Tentalus and tempers his sword with the power of Nayru's Sacred Flame. He can return to the Shipyard to find that that Gortram has set up a new mini-game requiring Link to race around the Rickety Coaster. Giving Link the option of choosing two tracks to play the game on the "Scary" and "Heart-Stopping" tracks. The Scary track requires Link to beat a certain time, if done so he will earn rupees or treasure as a reward. On the other hand, the "Heart-Stopping" track requires that Link beats Gortram's time of 1:05. If Link manages to do so Gortram will reward him with a Piece of Heart.

I am probably supposed to tell you there is some "safety information" about using the carts posted on the wall over there. Cart riding can be, uh...dangerous at times, so I would suggest you give that stuff a quick read." — Gortram (Skyward Sword)
