Description
My take on what a real Goron might look like if you came across one. If you haven't played any of the Zelda games, Gorons are a humanoid race of rock people inhabiting Hyrule. They eat rocks and typically dwell in caves and mountain ranges. Despite their hulking appearance, Gorons are a peaceful species.

... Can someone please tell me why there's no goron fan club yet?

Well, there's no good reason, that's for sure. Gorons are bad ass.

Seriously, there's a Zora fanclub, a Deku fanclub, a Gerudo fanclub, hell, I think I even saw clubs for Ooccas and Cuckoos, but nothing for the Gorons... like, what the actual fuck!?!?

After looking at your stuff I've decide we (the Zelda fans) need to march to Nintendo America HQ, and force them to make this game. Zelda for the adults. Great work

Wow! Nice! Do you use resource art in the pictures or is that all hand painted? Diggin your stuff.Β

It's all painted, but I used a few textures to enhance things and save time.

Looks fuckin amazing, but how is he supposed to roll into a ball?

It doesn't turn into a perfect ball but it can definitely scrunch things up. At the very least, maybe it can charge it's enemies and summer-salt crashing into things with its back.

Or maybe his belly is really squishy and he has freking awesome abs underneath.
