The Goron Mines is the second dungeon of Twilight Princess. Link enters the mines through a passage in Death Mountain, which he can access after defeating Gor Coron in a sumo match. The inside of the mines is filled with lava and flame geysers; to avoid them, Link has to use his Iron Boots to stick to magnetized platforms.

Link must seek out the three remaining Goron Elders in order to piece together a key to get into the boss' lair. The dungeon is two floors and contains many large rooms, some with walkways over massive pools of lava. The mini-boss guarding the Hero's Bow is a Goron Guardian. The dungeon's main boss is the Goron Patriarch Darbus, who was transformed into the Twilit Igniter Fyrus.

Frequently-encountered enemies include flaming larvae, Dodongo, and Beamos. Link will also encounter several Bulblins, which wield bows or clubs.

The dungeon's music may have an extract of the Goron Lullaby from [Mask] in the background.
