Forums - Nintendo - How do Gorons reproduce?

Serious question. I've never seen a female goron, so how do they do it?

Are they unisex? Hermaphroditic...like hutts. Or are they more like Piccolo's race from DBZ, which are all males and lay (puke) eggs from their mouth?

They use their "Biggoron Swords".

^ lol!

I was thinking the same thing when I got to the Goron Isle in Phantom Hourglass oddly enough. This question will be answered in a future Zelda game one day, I'm sure.



A few hypothesises (spelling?)

 

- Baby Gorons grow out from their backs. In OoT, everyone called the main goron (Darunia?) Big Brother, so they could either be made from the same back, or from him (or both).

- They change genders. If so, they could be female while young, so we simply never see them (eyes not fully grown yet?), as they live in caves.

- The Gorons and Gerudos have a deal with each other. One is female only, one is male only. (This is a bit absurd...)

- They're like amoebes. Split in the middle at a certain age.

- They don't. They're created by a reaction that changes rocks into Gorons (godesses? Fairies?)

 

Can't think of anything else right now.

The first and last one actually make some sense. 

Maybe...the Gorons and Gerudos can mate....which produces either a goron or gerudo offspring, which they distribute to each race accordingly :p

Well, the last part is actually a bit shady. We have seen babies, so if they split; does one part become a baby? That doesn't really add up.

 

New hypothesises:

- They become fertile (not sure if that's what I mean) by eating rocks (from Dodongo's Cavern. Ever wondered why they really needed you to open it up?). They then lie eggs, which eventually hatch. (You never see a pregnant Goron, do you?)

- Gorons are really bloody evil. They pretend to be nice for you, but really keep their women locked up somewhere.

- There's just one female - the queen. All the other females are killed (except for the next queen), and the queen is the one that gives birth to all the Gorons (like with ants).

- The women look pretty much identical to the men.

- The women look nothing like the men, and live under the water, or in the sky (wait... Oocas?)

- The women are incredibly shy - they just hide as rocks every time a human comes by.

Gorons and Gerudos!?  Wouldn't that create some kind of mutant, humanoid creature that hasn't been designed in the Zelda Universe yet?

 

Besides, you can easily explain how Gerudos reproduce... Ganondorf just gets ass by the pound.  It's the "tough" job of the lone Gerudo male born every 100 years amongst nothing but women.  It's like a centennial She Hate Me (for those of you who've seen that movie)

 



bianary fission.



This is a good question. I'm going to go with the gods creating them out of rocks.

That is the way baby Jesus would want it to be.



I think the god's created them out of rocks. That makes sense.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
