Darunia in the OOT Remake

Home / Characters / Darunia

Darunia is the Goron chief and, later, the Sage of Fire. You meet him in Goron City after Saria's Song. The errand is the Goron's Ruby and Dodongo's Cavern. The Fire Medallion is the sage reward. Goron City and that cavern are the two places I will attach to his name.

The search phrase "why does Darunia look so weird" is about the 2026 sculpt. CBR documents the new Goron models. Zelda Wiki does not describe a new quest step. Josh Petersdorf is the English credit I am willing to print. I treat the look as a design complaint with a published model change, not as a gameplay change.

The Goron Tunic page is the equipment people confuse with his quest. Dodongo's Cavern is the dungeon, and it does not have its own detail page in this first set, so the walkthrough is the place for the room order. A Goron population count is not in the sources.
