The strong and good-hearted chief of the Gorons..

Darunia serves as the leader of the Goron people, whom live within Death Mountain. Like his people, he is big and brawny, but has a surprisingly caring and good-natured side that makes them valuable allies to the other races of Hyrule. But Darunia still remains hot tempered and can easily lose his composure if something is not going the way he likes. He is a fierce warrior, himself descending from the same hero who took on Volvagia in the past, and attempted to take on the dragon on his own, only to realize that he is the Sage of Fire. He has a son, whom he named Link after the famous hero that helped and saved their people, and has a love for music, particularly Saria's Song.

Darunia led the Goron tribe to help defend Zelda's kingdom to no avail, as it regardless fell victim to the demon king's control. He and the other allies held a resistance within Hyrule's safe places to combat against Ganondorf's forces until they started to disappear. The allies departed to the dimension Link and Zelda escaped to, where Darunia took charge protecting the others like a giant bodyguard and uses his immense strength and power to take out the growing number of Ganon's followers that have snuck within the modern world of the humans. He appears as a tall, powerful and muscular man with a great beard and build and dresses in stretched out ripped t-shirts and trousers that barely fit the hulking Goron in disguise. He bears the Goron Ruby's image as a tattoo on one of his arms.
