Template:Character Kagoron is a Goron that appears in Spirit Tracks.[1]

Biography

Kagoron is the Mountain Goddess Messenger. He is always on the mountain during prayer.[2]

Upon arriving at the Mountain Goddess's altar, Kagoron will commend Link for his bravery, but will also inform him that the altar is a sacred place for Gorons.[3] After Link asks him how to access the Fire Sanctuary,[4] he notices that Link is a Royal Engineer,[5] Kagoron will ask the young hero to descend the mountain with him.[6] Upon returning to Goron Village, the mountain goddess's messenger gives Link a freight car to help him haul Mega Ice from the Anouki Village to put out the fires at Goron Village.[7] Once Link has access to Dark Ore Mine, Kagoron will send him a letter that has a map leading to a treasure in the mine.[8]

Nomenclature

Kagoron's name is likely a portmanteau of the Japanese word, 鍵 (Kagi), and Goron.

  8. "Hi, little engineer! How has your freight car been holding up? Things here have been peaceful, and the mountain is silent. Thanks for all your work! Here is a map I drew as a young Goron. Use it to find some treasure I hid in the Dark Ore Mine as a young one. I cannot remember where I hid it. The hints on the map might help you find it though. Hope to see you soon!" — Kagoron (Spirit Tracks)
