Link (Goron)

The name Link does not belong only to the hero and protagonist of the The Legend of Zelda series. Two other characters, both Gorons, also were named Link and both made a one time appearance in the two Nintendo 64 Zelda games respectively.

Ocarina of Time
Link is the son of Darunia in Ocarina of Time. He was born sometime during Link's seven year long sleep. Darunia named him after his friend, 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 at Goron City during his quest to awaken the Sages. At first, Link thought that the green-clad Hylian was one of Ganon'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. 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, knowing only he 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 Majora's Mask, another Goron named Link appears. He is generally believed to be the Terminan counterpart of the Goron named Link from Ocarina of Time. He can be only be seen on the first day, from noon till night, in Clock Town. Link has a reservation at the Stock Pot Inn which he claims at noon. If he claims the room, he will go there and the hero won't see him anymore. However, the Hero of Time can claim this room before he does,  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.
