'''Mega Ice''' is the premier fire-melting [[ice]] in the Zelda universe, appearing in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]''. An object of similar purpose also appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]''.

Had it been ''introduced as a race'', the site would have referred to it as サルボ族, as it did with the Kikwi, Parella and Mogma, the latter of which was "introduced" at the same time as Sarubo. Your Goron point is normally valid, but seeing as they deliberately introduced the other three as races themselves and didn't for Sarubo, Sarubo would be an individual name. While "Eldin" would be logical, I wouldn't put it past them to name it something else.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'', [[Noko]], an entrepreneurial [[Anouki]] from the [[Anouki Village]], sets up shop at the [[Wellspring Station]] selling Mega Ice, after having trouble originally opening up for business in his home village. Mega Ice is used on many occasions, yet only once in a plot-required event - Link must transport the powerful ice from the Wellspring Station to the [[Goron Village (Spirit Tracks)|Goron Village]] so that the Gorons can reaccess sections of the village that had been quarantined off due to the virulent volcanic eruptions and fire geysers that had sprung up as a product of such magma outbursts in the area. The Mega Ice, as long as it is transported inside of the [[Snow Realm]], will not melt, however, once Link ventures out into the [[Fire Realm|Fire]], [[Forest Realm|Forest]], or [[Ocean Realm]]s, the 20 pieces of Mega Ice will begin to dwindle as a product of the increased light-intensity and higher temperatures in these other regions.<ref>{{cite|The ice is fine until ya get to warmer areas.

Since some of the Mega Ice-related sidequests require transporting the ice over long distances, the use of [[Warping|Warp Gates]] on the [[Spirit Tracks (Rails)|Spirit Tracks]] is highly advised in order to make it to the destination with the required amount of Mega Ice. The ice is also very fragile, so cautious, defensive engineering is a must when carrying the ice over long distances and through monster-infested regions.<ref>{{cite|First, don't hit anything or let the train sway when the ice is loaded on.

Sarubo

The official Japanese site calls it Template:Korean. I'm guessing Wolfger assumed it was named after the province/mountain, like Faron, but I suggest we move it to Sarubo for now. - TonyT S C 22:03, 22 October 2011 (EDT)

Are you sure that's not the name of its race? Because it appears alongside Hylia in the opening with four other races, which leads me to believe that this little guy is one of many. Fyrisvellir 08:31, 23 October 2011 (EDT)
That's an interesting theory, but here's why I don't think so:
1) To me, the as-of-yet unrevealed race on the far left of Her Grace doesn't resemble the little creature on this page very much, apart from the small stature and its face.
2) Given that it's a spirit, I highly doubt there would be a race of it running around.
3) Based on 2 translations done by myself and another Japanese speaker, the first line of text reads "A flying robot equipped with two arms, Sarubo". If correct, this indicates that it wouldn't be a race by normal means, and that "Sarubo" is indeed its name.
I haven't studied the text all that much, but from what I can tell, the site goes on to say that you have to help navigate Sarubo around. So it doesn't seem to introduce it as a species (as it did with the Parella), but more of a person. I've extracted the Japanese text, in case someone else wants to have a crack at translating it.

It does resemble the creature on the far left of Hylia, just compare the shapes bearing in mind that the depiction is stylised. This little guy could be more of a sage for all we know. I mean, if it is a robot, then spirit might not be an accurate description anyway. Plus, "a flying robot equipped with two arms, Sarubo" doesn't need to refer to a name rather than a species; it could be either, the grammar is fine either way. 'A large creature with rock-like skin, Goron' would work in a similar way. I'm not saying that it definitely isn't called 'Sarubo', but 'Eldin' seems logical given that the Faron province equivalent is a creature who is called Faron. Either way, we should wait until we know the English name. Fyrisvellir 10:23, 23 October 2011 (EDT)
As with Fi, being a robot probably has no bearing on it being a spirit manufactured by the Goddess. And you're missing the point of it being a character rather than a race. Had it been introduced as a race, the site would have referred to it as サルボ族, as it did with the Kikwi, Parella and Mogma, the latter of which was "introduced" at the same time as Sarubo.

The introduction of it as an individual rather than a race could easily be a mistake on the website.
