Goron Mines

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 Torch slugs, Dodongo, and Beamos. Link will also encounter several Bulblins, which wield bows or clubs.

The dungeon's music may contain an extract of the Goron Lullaby from Majora's Mask in the background.

The Goron Mines contain a reference to the Fire Temple of Ocarina of Time. Within the Fire Temple in OoT there was a certain room which could only be reached by first getting the Longshot from the Water Temple, and then returning to the Fire Temple and using the Scarecrow's Song. In Twilight Princess' Goron Mines, the room with water at the bottom which contains multiple Bulblin archers also contains a Treasure Chest which can only be reached after retrieving the Clawshot from the Lakebed Temple.it may be a new fire temple.
