| - Near the end of the Hyrulean Civil War, the Gorons become sworn allies of the Royal Family of Hyrule after the King of Hyrule become a sworn brother of the Gorons and the Gorons where entrusted with protecting the Spiritual Stone of Fire which eventually became a symbol of the Goron Tribe known as the Goron's Ruby. During the Era of the Hero of Time, the Gorons were lead by Goron Chief Darunia, a descendant of the Hero of the Gorons. They became enemies with the Gerudo King Ganondorf after he closed off the entrance of Dodongo's Cavern with a boulder and demanded the Goron's hand over the Goron's Ruby. Darunia refused and locked himself in his room to wait for the Royal Family's messenger while guarding the Goron's Ruby. Unbeknownst to the Goron, Ganondorf was also responsible for reviving the Dodongo species, including the mighty King Dodongo that had begun appearing in the cavern before Ganondorf sealed it off. Eventually, the young Hero of Time came to Death Mountain in search of the Goron's Ruby and met with Darunia. Learning of the Gorons plight, the Hero of Time ventured into Dodongo's Cavern and defeated King Dodongo, earning the respect of Darunia and the Gorons. Darunia gave the young hero the Goron's Ruby and in doing so made the Hero of Time a sworn brother of the Gorons. The Hero of Time, became known among the Goron's as the Legendary Dodongo Buster and Darunia named his son after him. Seven years later, Ganondorf had become the King of Evil after managing to steal the Triforce of Power. The King of Evil cursed the Fire Temple and revived the ancient Volvagia. All the Gorons save for Darunia, his son, the Goron Shop Owner, Medigoron, and Biggoron were captured and sentenced by Ganondorf to be sacrificed to Volvagia as a warning to those that would challenge his rule. Darunia journeyed to the Fire Temple to free his tribe and search for his ancestor's legendary Hammer, that was stored within the temple, in order to defeat Volvagia. The Hero of Time now an Adult capable of wielding the Master Sword, journeyed to Death Mountain to awaken the Sage of Fire, learned of the Goron's plight from Darunia's son and journeyed to the Fire Temple to aid his sworn brother, reuniting with Darunia inside the Temple. Unable to find his ancestors hammer, Darunia bravely decided to face Volvagia without it, while his sworn brother freed the other Gorons. However Darunia was not match for the evil dragon without the hammer and was defeated by Volvagia. Fortunately the Hero was able to find the Megaton Hammer while freeing the Gorons and after freeing all the Gorons, he journeyed to Volvagia's room within the temple. Using the legendary hammer, the Hero of Time killed the evil dragon as the Hero of the Gorons had done previously, awakening Darunia as the Sage of Fire. The Gorons returned to Goron City and Darunia joined the other Seven Sages in combating the King of Evil, who was eventually sealed and the Gorons celebrated with the rest of Hyrule. The Hero of Time returned to the past and eventually entrusted his Hero's Bow to his sworn allies, the Gorons, who would remember him as the legendary hero.
