Goronu (Stage)

Goronu (pronounced ) is a location in. Along with Crater Cove and Nortinka, it is one of the game's starting stages.

Features and Overview
Goronu is the name of the region that surrounds Goronu's Face of Evil. It is located near the southern coasts of Koridai, represented by a giant gold monument that resembles Goronu's likeness. The region itself is a mountainous river valley, and home to a large crypt in the Face of Goronu that is filled with undead enemies. It is under Goronu's control.

The region is also notably the only known area in Koridai to have a shop. Morshu's shop can immediately be found at the entrance to the mountain pass, standing on a red bridge next to a raging waterfall that flows from Glutko. Here Morshu sells Link Rope, Bombs and Lantern Oil. His shop also has a Triforce Map, which will take Link back to the world map screen. Across from his shop is a red archway that serves as another bridge, which leads to the Face of Goronu. A boulder blocks one of the Face's teeth, which can be destroyed with a Bomb or the Power Glove. The opening left behind leads to an enormous crypt haunted by Ghinis and Stalfos. Here Link meets Gwonam, who shows him the minion Goronu as he raises Stalfos from their coffins to attack Link. A door at the end can only be reached by using Rope.

The next room is a tall chamber with several rafters supporting the walls. Here Link confronts Goronu at the top. After his defeat, Link receives a Life Heart and finds the Bell. After completing the stage, Harlequin Bazaar opens as a new stage.
