Dialogue[edit]

Heehl: BEYOND MACHO!

Bayge: PUMP IT UP, BROTHER! This is our ancestral training ground! Us three Goron Blood Brothers are in the midst of a contest of endurance!

Heehl: FEEL THE BURN, BROTHER! We're trainin' to become strong and powerful Gorons! Right now we're competin' to beat the heat!

Kabetta: So sweaty... Brother... We're Gorons... but the heat is too much for us these days... It's too hot to handle in Goron City... so we came here to train ourselves...

Bayge: Hey, I have an idea!

Heehl: Come join us!'

Kabetta: Yeah! Come try to the contest of endurance yourself... brother!

Link: Sure, I'll give it a try.

Bayge: Good answer!

Heehl: A guy like you has a burning passion in his belly!

Kabetta: It's inspiring... brother!

'Bayge: When you're ready, step up onto this platform! Then the contest of endurance will commence! If ya leave the ring or pass out, it's all over! You lose! Got it? OK... Now prepare yourself for the... CONTEST OF ENDURANCE!! GOOOOO!

Bayge: You're amazing! I never woulda thought the three Goron Blood Brothers could lose to you, brother!

Heehl: In fact, I'm gratin' you the highest honor - the chance to participate in the contest of ULTIMATE endurance!

Kabetta: It's where our ancestors trained... It's considered the toughest test known to Goron kind!

Bayge: You see the ring behind me? The one surrounded in fire? Do ya feel it in your gut-what a bad idea it is to go there?

Heehl: Your gut is dead on, brother!

Kabetta: That special training area is even harder than the last ring...

Bayge: This contest won't just challenge you with heat... but also with fire! If ya lose your focus, your body will catch fire! Make you're prepared for this, brother! It's said that passin' this test will reveal the shrine... or some such! If ya think you're ready, climb into the ring. Do that, and our special contest of ultimate endurance will begin! HUH?! Is that heat-resistant gear ya have there, brother? A real Goron man shouldn't have to rely on wussy stuff like that! Goron up and take the challenge without any help!

Bayge: RAAAAARRRGGGGHHH!! SO EPIC, BROTHER!!

Heehl: What a powerful display! What fire! That was somethin' else, brother!

Kabetta: Whoa! That's a shrine... or some such! It really appeared, just like that! So the legend is true, brother!!


Bayge: You won the contest of ultimate enduance, little man! You're amazing!
