Ugogh! Ugor ugoh ughor?

Shaddup!

Just when I was having a good dream...

Oh! Welcome to the Mountain Smithy, where we take our time to make a good point. I am Zubora, the owner. Pleased to meet you.

Ugo-oh! Ugo ugo!

Shaddup over there!

That huge fellow is my assistant, Gabora. He's all brawn and about as smart as a Deku Stick.

Say...Did you come to have your sword sharpened?

Unfortunately, we're not doing any business right now. It's because of this abnormal cold snap we've been having.

See? Our hearth has been frozen over!

The way things are going now, I won't be able to do any business until spring...

If I could just do something about that frozen hearth...

Ugo-oh! Ugo, ugo!

Eh? What's that?

You say if we had hot water, we could melt the ice off the hearth?

Don't act like you know what you're talking about, you Deku Stick!

Oh, he believes a rumor that says long ago there were hot springs somewhere in the mountains near here.

Bah! I don't believe such rubbish.

Ugoh-oh! Ugoh ugo ugo?

Eeesh! You're so loud!

You've gotta understand, I have to melt this ice off my hearth before I can go to work.

Come back in the spring after the ice melts.

Ugoh-ooooh!!! Ugoh! Ugo-a-go-go!

Gabora!!!

Huh?

Oh! You've done me a great favor! Now, then...

This hearth can finally go to work for me! Heh-heh-heh-heh... Thanks.

Ugoh-oh! Ugoh ugo ugo?

Oh, a customer?

Sorry, but we do only swords and cutlery.

Sorry, but we do only swords and cutlery.

Sorry...It would take until tomorrow morning to sharpen your sword, and we're not taking any more orders today.

...Why, you ask? Because tomorrow is the town's carnival, and you can't work during the carnival, can you?

Gabora, fetch our customer some coffee, quick-like.

Now then, let me take a look at your sword.

Hmmm...

All right...To reforge your sword, it will cost you 100 Rupees. It'll be ready at sunrise.

You'll have to let us hold onto your sword until then.

Keep in mind that after you use your reforged sword 100 times, it will lose its edge and it'll be back to its original sharpness...

So, would you like your sword reforged for 100 Rupees?
I'll do it
No thanks

Oh, really? Then it can't really be helped. Drop by again sometime.

Gabora, forget about the coffee!!

This is a secret, but I'll let you in on it...If you bring me some gold dust, I can forge you the strongest of swords...

It'll never lose its edge. It's the strongest. The strongest...

Reforge your sword?
Yes
No thanks

Huh? You don't have 100 Rupees?

Gabora... Say goodbye to the customer.

And we just got the ice melted off the hearth and everything...

Thanks for dropping in. Now then, I'm straight off to work!

Come back tomorrow morning.

Ugoh ugo ugo!

Your sword will be ready tomorrow morning. We'll take good care of it, so don't worry.

Hey, now that's a mean joke. Your sword has already been reforged into a Razor Sword!

Unless... Do you want me to make your sword stronger?

To do that, I'll need gold dust. Do you have any?

Why, if it isn't gold dust! And it's even top quality!!!

Why, even if I use it to reforge your sword, there'll still be some left...

All right! Just for you, I'll do this for free. But don't tell anyone!

Huh? That's not gold dust.

...You can't get your hands on it that easily, you know!

Ugoh-ugo-ugo!

What? What?!? You say that gold dust is the prize for winning the Patriarch's Race that's held by the Gorons every spring?

What if you tried entering that?

To make your sword any stronger, I'll need gold dust, which just so happens to be first prize at the Goron racetrack.

If I can just get some gold dust... and this is just between us...I can make you the strongest of swords. The strongest...

Hey! Hey! Take it easy! Your sword is already as strong as I can make it!

It's impossible to make it any stronger. It doesn't matter how much gold dust you pack in there!

But... If you have gold dust, I'll buy it off you for 40 Rupees. How about it?

Huh? Look, I'm working on strengthening your sword. I'm busy, so don't bother me.

Grrr...You're persistent... I can't focus on my work! Just wait until morning!

I kept you waiting... But it's done! See?

Now keep in mind that after you've used this 100 times, the blade will lose its edge and will return to its original sharpness.

Now here's a secret...If you bring me gold dust before this sword loses its edge, I'll be able to make it the strongest sword around.

You got that? Gold dust!

Ugoh! Ugoh ugo ugo!

There it is. We can't make a sword stronger than that.

No matter how many times you use it, it will never lose its edge. Try it.

Oh, I used up most of the gold dust. Just a tiny bit was left, so I got rid of it for you.

Ugo-oh! Ugoh ugo ugo!

Thanks for dropping in! You got a great deal.

If you get any more quality gold dust, you'll sell it to me, right?

What? You're telling me that's not enough? No way. That's the going price. The going price!

No one else will buy it for this much...

So, come on...Will you sell it for 40 Rupees?

I'm the Goron who sells the Powder Keg, the most famous product of the Gorons.

Want a Powder Keg? Powder kegs explode with powerful blasts and are very dangerous...

Until I have tested you to see if you can use them properly, I can't let you use any on your own.

Will you give it a try?

Yes
No

If you can destroy the boulder that blocks the entrance to the Goron Racetrack near here...

using the Powder Keg I'm about to give you, then I'll approve you to carry them.

When the Powder Keg begins ticking faster, it means that it's about to explode.

Try to blow up the boulder blocking the Goron Racetrack entrance without the Powder Keg exploding on the way.

There's a sign near the racetrack, so keep an eye out for it. When you've finished, come see me.

Come back if you change your mind.

It looks like you managed to succeed! Knowing your skills, I feel fine letting you handle Powder Kegs on your own.

It was bad of me to put you through such a dangerous test. I want you to take this as my apology.

Powder Kegs are very volatile, so you can carry only one at a time.

If you shoot them with an arrow, they'll explode as soon as they're hit, so be careful.

You failed? In that case, I can't approve you to use Powder Kegs.

Will you take the challenge again?

Yes
No

If you change your mind, see me.

You can carry only one Powder Keg at a time. Once you've used it, come back.

Will you a buy a Powder Keg for 100 Rupees?
I'll buy it
No thanks

If you change your mind, see me.

I'm the Goron who sells Powder Kegs, the most famous product of the Gorons.

But the rules say I can't sell Powder Kegs to anyone who isn't a Goron. Sorry.

The rules say I can't sell Powder Kegs to anyone who isn't a Goron. Sorry.

What in the world have I been doing this whole time?

Why am I sitting in a place like this?

Darmani! What in the world have I been doing this whole time?

I can't remember a thing since I went out to look around Snowhead to figure out why spring wasn't coming...

What am I doing sitting in a place like this???

It's a good thing that spring came...Give my regards to the Goron Elder.

......... Can it be? Are you able to see me?

If you truly can see me, then follow behind me...

The soaring one said the one who could see me would be arriving soon...

It seems that it turned out to be true.

I am Darmani the Third. The blood of proud Goron heroes runs in me.

This feels strange for me to say, but when I was alive, I was a renowned warrior and veteran.

Yes...When I was alive...

But alas... I am now dead.

I was fine until I marched off to Snowhead by myself, hoping that I could drive off a demon.

It had been wreaking havoc on Goron Village...Then the blizzard at Snowhead blew me into the valley. ...And now...Here I am...

...How infuriating!

As I am, I can only watch as Goron Village is slowly buried in ice...I may have died, but I cannot rest.

So, you can use magic? The soaring one also told me that you are able to use it...

I beg you! Bring me back to life with your magic!

If it is beyond your power, then I beg of you to do this for me instead...

Heal my sorrows. Any way that you can do it will suffice... Please...heal my sorrows.

Medicine works only on the living. It will do me no good.

Please...Just heal my sorrows. You need not bring me back to life.

I know you can do this for me as you are right now. I beg of you. Heal my sorrows.

What a soothing melody... My sorrows are melting away into the song.

I leave my undying feelings with you...

The deeds I accomplished while living are carved on my grave. You should read it.

For the Goron Village... I have asked your assistance...

It is written in letters you have never seen before.

The Goron hero, Darmani the Third, rests here.

In honor of a great hero, this memorial is inscribed with the knowledge of a great hero.

Will you read the knowledge imparted by the hero?

Techniques for action
Techniques for battle
Don't read

Oh, chosen Goron hero! Your power to lift objects without effort is mightier than the strength of any other.

And your heart is strong, too, as it is filled with compassion that is kinder than any other.

Goron heroes press A and Control Stick so that they may curl up and roll wherever it is that they may need to go.

If Gorons who possess magic power roll swiftly enough, spikes will emerge from their bodies so that they may mow down enemies.

Water is disastrous for Goron heroes, for they sink like stones and are rendered motionless in the deep. Beware.

The powerful punch that Goron heroes unleash by pressing B is feared by all.

By repeatedly pressing B, Goron heroes will deal out a barrage of punches.

After using A to curl up, a Goron can jump with B and land with quaking impact that is so mighty it can flatten enemies.

I wish someone would do something...

Urrrgh... I can feel it pounding in the back of my head.

...Darmani? You're alive?!

The Goron Elder said you had died... Was that a lie?

Whatever the case may be, welcome back...

So...does that incessant crying sound familiar to you?

The Goron Elder's son won't stop crying.

Ahhh... He finally quit crying.
