The Goron Tunic is an item from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This red tunic is nearly identical to Link's traditional green Kokiri Tunic and blue Zora Tunic. Unlike his other tunics, it allows Link to survive in very hot areas through unexplained methods, though it makes it clear that it is completely fireproof (the tunic's fireproof qualities may be a result of the materials used to make it: Dodongo skin and Bomb Flower fibers). While it serves its purpose best in the Fire Temple and Death Mountain Crater, the Goron Tunic can also slow down the effects of other hazards other than lava and fire, such as the poisonous water in the Royal Family's Tomb and the Shadow Temple.
The Goron Tunic can be obtained in a variety of ways. If Link stops the rolling Goron in Goron City with a well-placed Bomb or Bombchu, the young Goron reveals himself to be Darunia's son. He rewards Link with the tunic after Link calms him down.
If the tunic is eaten by a Like Like, Link can re-obtain it by quickly killing the Like Like or purchasing a new one at the Goron Shop for 200 Rupees.
