Goron City

,  also known as the Home of the Gorons, is a recurring location in. It is the home of the Goron Tribe. It is located nearby Death Mountain.

Goron City is the main gateway to Death Mountain Crater which leads to the OoT3D:. There is also a portal to the Lost Woods, but its entrance is blocked by rocks that Link must destroy with Bombs. Paintings of Gorons, Dodongos, and other abstract shapes can be seen all around the city walls. The city consists of four floors, with the entrance on the top floor. The lowest floor has two important points of interest: the Goron Shop and Darunia's chamber, which is initially closed off until Link proves his connection with the Royal Family. Within the chamber is a heavy stone monument blocking off the entrance to Death Mountain Crater. Link can move this obstacle once he is an adult.

Also on the bottom floor is a giant vase which spins once Link lights up all of the city's torches. Situated at the center of the city is a platform suspended by ropes where the Spiritual Stone of Fire, also known as the Goron's Ruby, was once displayed; it used to light up the city before Darunia took it away.

When young Link arrives at Goron City, he finds the source of the Goron's troubles: their source of food, Dodongo's Cavern, has been blocked by a giant boulder thus endangering their lives. Their leader, Darunia, locks himself up in his chamber and won't let anyone in unless they are connected to the Royal Family of Hyrule. Once Link shows his proof of connection with the Royal Family, the door opens, allowing Link to speak to the Goron chief. Darunia, though reluctant at first, lets Link help them by having him destroy the Dodongos in Dodongo's Cavern.

After Link defeats King Dodongo and clears the infested cavern, Darunia gives him the Goron's Ruby and calls him a Sworn Brother.

Seven years later, after retrieving the Master Sword, Link returns to Goron City to find that all of its citizens are gone. He notices a lone Goron rolling around the third floor and stops him with a Bomb. Link discovers the Goron is Darunia's son who informs him about the revival of Volvagia, an ancient Dragon who eats Gorons. Due to this situation, Darunia went to the Fire Temple to try and defeat Volvagia; however, while he was gone, all the Gorons were taken by Ganondorf as prisoners into the temple where they would be fed to Volvagia as a warning to those who might oppose him. Darunia's son pleads for Link to go and save Darunia. So, Darunia's son gives him the Goron Tunic, a tunic which lets Link endure the heat of Death Mountain Crater and the Fire Temple indefinitely, so long as it is worn.

Once Link rescues all the Gorons from the Fire Temple, they will return to the city and thank Link for saving them.

Due to the dormancy of Death Mountain, Goron City no longer requires flame resistance to access. Additionally, the vast majority of the lava in the area has cooled, making it safe to walk on.

Following the Upheaval, much of Gordon City's population has become addicted to Marbled Rock Roast, crippling business in the city and causing the shopkeepers to raise their prices to outlandish extremes.

In Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, Link and Zelda go to Goron City in order to ask Daruk to pilot Divine Beast Vah Rudania. However, that is the only mention of Goron City in the Scenario, "Daruk, the Goron Hero," and the characters go to Death Mountain.
