How to Get the Goron Tunic in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

The Goron Tunic protects Link from extreme heat in the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. Without it, exploring Death Mountain Crater is dangerous, but you’ll need to pass through the area to reach the Fire Temple as the story progresses.

Here’s how to get the Goron Tunic and prepare for the journey ahead.

How to get the Goron Tunic in Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Once Link becomes an adult, you can get the Goron Tunic in two ways: receive it for free from Goron Link in Goron City, or buy it from the city’s shop for 600 rupees. Even if you can afford it, getting the tunic for free is the better choice.

To find Goron Link, head to Goron City as adult Link. The young Goron rolls around the city’s second level, so you’ll need to stop him before you can talk. Use a bomb to halt him, either from your own supply or from one of the nearby Bomb Flowers.

Once he stops, speak to him and choose “The Fire Temple?” to learn what happened to Goron City. Then select “I’ll help you!” He’ll give you the Goron Tunic so you can rescue his father and the other Gorons taken to the Fire Temple.

Equip the tunic from the Equipment menu to benefit from its heat protection. Keep in mind that it does not make Link immune to fire: flames left by volcanic rocks can still hurt him.
