Link (Goron)


 * ''Not to be confused with Goron Link, the transformation in Majora's Mask.

Link is a Goron character who appears in and, who shares his name with the Hero of Time.

Ocarina of Time
In, Link is the son of Darunia. He was born sometime during Link the hero's seven year long sleep. Darunia named him after the original Link who saved the Gorons by chasing off the Dodongos which had taken possession of Dodongo's Cavern, the place that the Gorons used as their chief source of nourishment. The Hero of Time met Link the Goron at Goron City during his quest to awaken the Sages. At first, Link thought that the green-clad Hylian was one of Ganondorf's servants and as such kept rolling around the city in order to not get captured. However, the Hero of Time managed to stop the Goron child with a Bomb. Upon learning the hero's name, Link realized that the former was in fact the hero his father had told him so much about. As such, he asked the hero to save Darunia and the other Gorons, who had been imprisoned at the Fire Temple by Ganondorf and threatened to be fed to Volvagia, knowing only the hero could accomplish that task. Link helped the hero by providing him information on Volvagia's weakness, giving him the Goron Tunic, and telling him the secret entrance into Death Mountain.

Majora's Mask
In, another Goron named Link appears in Clock Town. He can only be found on the First Day, from noon until night. Link has a reservation at the Stock Pot Inn which he claims at four. If he claims the room, he will go there, and will not be seen again. However, the Hero of Time can claim this room before he does and receive the Room Key, due to having the same name and Anju not being able to remember the faces of the customers. The mix-up is not discovered, because of Link's tendency to put "goro" at the end of his sentences, which confuses Anju. If the hero claimed the room before Link did, the latter will decide to sleep outside.
