19 The Goron Bracelet

Link decided to return to Goron City and play the new song for Darunia. He climbed the hedges of the labyrinth to reach the Lost Forest quickly and as soon as he entered it, the owl surprised him again by saying:

" Boo boo!" Has Saria taught you a melody? Those notes seem to hold a mysterious power. You might learn more melodies like that elsewhere in Hyrule. They will serve you well. Boo Boo! —And flew away.

After listening to the owl, Link retraced his steps until he reached the concrete entrance. He stepped inside and was for a moment uncertain that he would not appear in Goron City, but was relieved to see the tunnel and the goron at the beginning of it.

Once in Goron City, Link went to Darunia's room and without waiting another minute he played the Song of Saria. Darunia immediately started dancing like crazy, causing Link to back off a bit. He even said words of excitement for dancing. When he finally stopped dancing, he said:

" What a beautiful melody!" Suddenly I am much more animated! A strange force has seized me! ... I am Darunia! The great chief of the gorons! Did you want to ask me something? "Link mentioned the spirit stone to him." Darunia got a little excited. " What?" Do you want the spirit stone? The spiritual stone of fire, also called the Goron Ruby, is the hidden treasure of our race ... Obviously I would not give it to you like that, without more ... Although if you really need it ... Why don't you kill the monsters that dwell in the cave of dodongos and show that you are a real man? —In his mind Link thought that Darunia must be crazy.

"That way everyone will be happy again!" He continued. " If you accept, I will give you whatever you ask. Even the spiritual stone! And I will also give you something very useful, and without expecting anything in return. With this, even a little boy like you can lift a flower bomb.

And then Darunia gave him the Goron Bracelet. He put it on and felt like he was suddenly stronger. He tried to try what Darunia said about the bomb flowers, and indeed, he was able to lift them easily, although apparently they lit up when you plucked them, so he let go of it and fled.

Now he had to figure out how to open the dodong cave. To begin with, he went out to the Death Mountain Trail and noticed that, since the path to get to Goron City opened under the road to get to the mountain, it was very wide and he had not seen it at all because he reached the mountain quickly. city. He saw some kind of fenced-in balcony from which you could see the canyon at the beginning of the trail and it was above the dodong cave.

There was a goron bigger than the others and a single bomb flower. Link approached the great goron and he said:

"I'm keeping this bomb flower from the sun." You see, these flowers are a species that only grows on this mountain. The fruit of this flower is the raw material with which the bombs are made. But someone who is not from the Goron people, without preparation, should not try to collect the fruits of the bomb flowers! They usually grow in shady places, so it can be said that seeing a bomb flower in this place is something very rare. "Link looked surprised. The goron continued. By the way, did you see the cave when you were coming here? That is the cave of the dodongs. As the light inside is very dim, the bomb flowers grow in droves there.

Then Link came up with an idea: he very carefully took the bomb flower that was there and threw it at the entrance of the cave. The flower exploded and successfully destroyed the rocks that covered the entrance to the cave.

As it got dark, Link went down the path and without waiting any longer, he went into the cave.
