Darunia is a noble and mighty Goron who becomes one of the Six Sages of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Background
Darunia was a descendant of the legendary Goron who slayed Volvagia the dragon long ago. Because of his noble heritage he became the Big Brother of the Gorons in Goron City, who watched over the tribe and their Spiritual Stone of Fire, the Goron's Ruby. Despite his tough appearance he was pretty sensitive underneath, and when he heard a tune he liked he was known to break out into wild dance moves.
Darunia faced crisis after crisis in Ocarina of Time. His people starved when Dodongo's Cavern, home of the best sirloin rocks, was infested with Dodongos and had its entrance blocked by a boulder. Ganondorf offered to help them in exchange for the Goron's Ruby, but Darunia was unwilling to make a deal with him. He chose to instead lock himself in his room with the Goron's Ruby until a messenger of the Royal Family arrived. When the "messenger" came and turned out to be the young Link, Darunia was at initially offended as he had expected more from his Sworn Brother, the King of Hyrule. Link then played Saria's Song for him, which immediately reversed Darunia's mood and prompted him to happily dance along. With his depression gone, Darunia gave Link a Goron Bracelet and, seeing him as a good person, offered him the Goron's Ruby if he would slay the Dodongos. Link succeeded, and Darunia gave him the Spiritual Stone. Darunia also declared Link a Sworn Brother and a friend.
Over the next seven years, Darunia named his own son after Link despite his disappearance. But the next crisis of the Gorons arose when Ganondorf revived Volvagia and kidnapped the inhabitants of Goron City, taking them to the Fire Temple to be fed to Volvagia. Only Darunia, his son, the Goron shopkeeper, Medigoron and Biggoron were not captured. Darunia thought that this was his chance to live up to his legacy and slay the lava dragon as his ancestor once did, but he could not find the legendary hammer in the Fire Temple and lost his fight with Volvagia.
After Link destroyed Volvagia, he and Darunia traveled to the Chamber of Sages. Darunia had been awakened as a Fire Sage and granted Link the Fire Medallion. Darunia had to stay in the Chamber of Sages and leave his people behind. With the other Sages, Darunia created a rainbow bridge leading to Ganon's Castle and later sealed Ganon within the Dark Realm. Darunia traveled in the form of a red sprite to Death Mountain with the other sages in the ending, and from their perch they witnessed the Lon Lon Ranch festivities.
