The '''Goron Dance''' is a minigame in {{OoA}}.
The '''Goron Dance''' is a [[mini-game]] that is played in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]''. The mini-game is primarily played by Gorons, and they dance in the Goron Dance Hall which is held inside the base of [[Rolling Ridge]]. The dance is hosted and instructed by a dancing instructor who instructs at least seven Gorons within the dance hall. The mini-game can be played in both present day or in the past. In present day, it costs 10 [[Rupee]]s to play and in the past, it costs 20 rupees to play.


The mini-game involves the Gorons and Link to follow the moves of the dance instructor, by moving left or right or by striking a pose. However all of the dancers have to keep up with the instructor's rhythm. If anyone moved too late or too quickly, they would 'miss' and lose their chances of getting a perfect score. Each round has eight moves.
