Darunia
Darunia is a character in Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo 64, found in Fire Temple, Goron City, and Death Mountain Trail.
What the heck! Who are you?!
When I heard the song of the Royal Family, I expected their messenger had arrived, but... you're just a little kid!
Has Darunia, the big boss of the Gorons, really lost so much status to be treated like this by his Sworn Brother, the King?
Now, I'm REALLY angry! Get out of my face, now!
Are you asking why I'm in such a bad mood right now?
Ancient creatures have infested the Dodongo's Cavern!
We've had a poor harvest of our special crop, Bomb Flowers!
Starvation and hunger because of the rock shortage!
But...

Goron's Bracelet
Fire MedallionWhat they say
This is a Goron problem!
We don't need any help from strangers!
Heeey!! What a nice tune!
Just like that, my depression is all gone! Something just came over me! I suddenly wanted to dance like crazy!
I am Darunia!
I'm the big boss of the Gorons! Was there something you wanted to ask me about?
What?
You want the Spiritual Stone of Fire, too?
The Spiritual Stone of Fire, also known as the Goron's Ruby, is our race's hidden treasure....
But hold on--I'm not going to give it to you that easily. If you want it so badly...
Why don't you go destroy the monsters inside of the Dodongo's Cavern and prove you're a real man?
That way, everybody will be happy again! If you do it, I will give you anything you want, even the Spiritual Stone!
I have something for you. I'm not really giving you this in return for anything, but take it anyway.
If you wear this, even a little fella like you can pick a Bomb Flower using A.
Destroy the monsters in the Dodongo's Cavern and become a real man! Then, we can talk about the Spiritual Stone!
Hey, Brother, play that tune again sometime soon!
It's me, Darunia! Well done!
Thanks to you, we can once again eat the delicious rocks from the Dodongo's Cavern until our stomachs burst!
What a wild adventure! It will make an incredible story...
I can't believe that the Dodongos suddenly appeared in such great numbers!
And that big rock blocking the cave...
All this trouble must have been caused by that Gerudo thief, Ganondorf!
He said, "Give me the Spiritual Stone! Only then will I open the cave for you!"
You, on the other hand, risked your life for us...
Kid, I like you!
How's about you and I become Sworn Brothers?!
No, there's no big ceremony involved! Just take this as a token of our friendship!
Brother! You'll keep brushing up on your skills as you travel, won't you?
You should go see the Great Fairy on top of Death Mountain! She will power you up!
Hey, everybody! Let's see off our Brother!
How 'bout a big Goron hug, brother?!
