Gorons, Zoras, Gerudos and More Quiz

Answer: Goron

Darunia is the Chief of the Gorons in "Ocarina of Time' (N64). As leader of the Gorons, he was awakened as the Sage of Fire once Link defeated Volvagia in the Fire Temple as an adult. Presumably, this meant his son Link succeeded him as Goron Chief.

Gorons are mountainous people primarily known for their strength and diet of rocks. Strangely, there do not appear to be female Gorons as every Goron is referred to as male. There are Gorons in the female-only access Gerudo Town in a few games but it appears those Gorons were mistaken for female or perhaps the Gorons are a gender-neutral race.

The Gerudo are primarily desert-dwelling people who are mostly female. They are skilled warriors and thieves. They do not like men and will forbid men from entering their town. Even Link is forbidden to visit in "Breath of the Wild" after he saves them. In order to mate, Gerudo women leave their city in search of, often unsuspecting, men.
