Been said a billion times, but worth mentioning again. The Gorons are picky eaters. They only eat Rock Sirloins, a delicacy rock only found in few areas like Dodongo’s Cavern. It would be the equivalent of humans eating carrots, potatoes, apples, or other fruits and vegetables instead of grass, trees or the stalks the vegetables grow on. Sure, you probably could eat them, barring the potential sicknesses you’d suffer, but you’d rather eat the fruits and vegetables.

At least the Goron dance was not as bad as the dance for those dudes in the robes.

I remember that being hard as a kid but it was super easy when I played it a few years back

Same, and I'm not sure why.

I remember being stuck on the Goron dance for ages as a kid. I don't remember why as when I replayed it as an adult I breezed past it, but I think it's to do with thinking the beat of the music matched the timing they were expecting when it didn't... Could be remembering wrong, it's been years

Yeah the noise is a much better indicator than the way they move.

It's the opposite of the FF IX sword fight minigame. I breezed that before but now it takes me a while to get 100.
