The Gorons are a large, mountain-dwelling race, with sizes ranging from medium, tall and even gigantic. The largest known Goron in the series is Biggoron, who is roughly about the same height as the peak of Death Mountain. Gorons typically live in or under mountain ranges of several countries, including mountains such as Death Mountain of Hyrule and Snowhead of Termina, among others. Although they are also adapt at living in non-mountainous regions, as seen in some titles such as in and, and it is not uncommon to see Gorons come down from their mountain homes or even travel to faraway lands, such as in  and SS undefined. Some also live on islands, such as on Goron Island. Befitting with that of their habitat, their durable, round bodies greatly resemble that of stones and boulders, and nearly all Gorons have a hide of ridged stones on their backsides. They usually have light brown skin; however, green, red, and blue Gorons have also been seen only in the world of Labrynna. They also have small eyes and noticeable lips, which conceal unaligned square teeth. Combined with their round shape, Gorons can also curl themselves into a ball shape and roll like a boulder, which is also their primary attack against enemies.

Gorons possess immense strength which many in their race are proud of, and many groups of Gorons like to hold competitions that test each other's physical strength and even rolling ability, including competitions such as sumo wrestling and rolling racing, among others. While Gorons do have many strengths, they are also not without their weaknesses. Gorons tend to move slowly, which their ability to roll makes up for, and one of their apparent weaknesses is deep water as they cannot swim. However as mentioned in Twilight Princess, Gorons can hold their breath for long periods without ever needing to breathe and thus cannot drown. Another common trait is that they have symbols in the shape of the Goron's Ruby tattooed to the sides of their arms, whether this is natural or not is unknown.

The diet of Gorons consist almost strictly of rocks mined from nearby quarries, although it has been shown in other titles that Gorons also eat other kinds of foods. In the Oracle series, Gorons also drink lava, either in the form of Lava Juice or Lava Soup. also had a drink called Goronade, which acts much like an energy drink. In The Minish Cap, Biggoron had indicated that he likes to eat steel or iron, and asked Link to give him his Small Shield to "nibble" on, which eventually turned it into the Mirror Shield. In, it was mentioned that young Gorons may eat tree hearts to grow big and strong. It was also implied in Twilight Princesss that Gorons may drink milk.

Groups of Gorons often live in close-knit communities within their home mountains, often led by an elder leader, such as Darunia, the leader of the Death Mountain Gorons in. Gorons are very close and respectful to others of their own kind, and often refer to each other as "Brothers". Though the Gorons are a friendly race, they can also be slow to trust outsiders, and may come off as cautious or even aggressive depending on the situation. However if an outsider is able to prove their worth, usually in a test of strength, skill, intelligence, or courage, the Goron tribe will accept them and come to call them one of their "Brothers".

Some Gorons are also known to be skilled smiths, notably Medigoron and Biggoron, of which the latter is responsible for creating the Biggoron's Sword. They are also known for harvesting bombs from the Bomb Flowers which grows in Death Mountain, sometimes also called the Goron's Special Crop. A few Gorons, notably Gorko, have been shown to be interested in archaeology, uniquely amongst the many Hyrulean races.

The Goron race have also been noted by fans for lack of any identifiable females.
