Dangoro

Dangoro is a giant Goron in the Goron Mines of Twilight Princess who guards the sacred Hero's Bow. When Link first enters the room, Dangoro believes him to be an intruder and will prepare to attack him.

Intro
When Link reaches the main platform, Dangoro is seen sitting sitting down, before hastily getting up after mistaking him as an intruder. He then jumps onto the magneetic platform Link was on, and the chains holding it up break apart, making the platform drop onto the lava below, leaving no way out.

Strategy
Dangoro starts the battle by breaking the chains suspending the room's central platform over the lava pit below. By equipping his Iron Boots, Link can anchor himself to its magnetic surface, preventing himself from falling off the platform. As Dangoro prepares to attack, Link can strike his unprotected belly, causing him to roll up into a ball in an attempt to run Link over. By moving over to the edge and grabbing him like the Gorons outside, Link can toss Dangoro into the lava. By repeating this method three times, Link is able to defeat him and finally convince the mighty Goron that he is acting for the Gorons and not against them. Accepting his story, Dangoro grants Link passage into the next room, where he finds a chest containing the Hero's Bow.
