There weren't any Gorons in Wind Waker, but there was another Goron with your name (so Link by default) in Majora's Mask.
Yes, there is a few Gorons in Wind Waker.
But I was wrong about the name though.

I'm just surprised they haven't thrown in a 'goron armor' that lets you roll around instead of running.

Bonus points if it looks like a Varia Suit built out of rocks.

I feel like Plague of Gripes knows the true subplot in BotW, but can only express his wisdom with his own twist in the descriptions of his videos.

I am in awe.  That is the most brilliant writeup I have ever seen.  That needs to be made into the game's description on the e-shop page.

Kind of late to the party here, but I'm getting close to beating the game and I've come to realize that I must have missed some important equipment somewhere.  I've faced major balance issues for everything past the first few hours of the game.  Pretty much every new area I explore was punctuated with the question of "Hey, I wonder what new thing I'll find there that can [nearly] one shot me?"


Not all of those literally one shot me, but most did.  If they didn't, they did 75%+ of my total health in damage in one hit.  Mipha's grace saved me sometimes, at least.

I don't bother fighting groups of enemies anymore.  Lizalfos and moblins do absurd amounts of damage, so if I run into more than one at a time, I usually just run away.  When I had 13 hearts I was killed in 2 bops from a moblin club or giant flaming arrows from moblin archers.  Lizalfos would usually get me in 2-3 hits too if they had weapons.  Bokoblins and wildlife at least seem to be okay, usually only dealing 3-4 hearts of damage.  I've got 16 hearts now, so that helps a tiny bit.

Of course, I could just get good and learn to dodge attacks when beset by multiple super fast lizard men or giant pig monsters, but I still feel like I'm not supposed to be dying so easily when I get hit.

Preeeetty sure I'm not supposed to be at the end of the game with just the hero's tunic upgraded one level, but even the ancient armor that I'm just now able to afford after reclaiming all of the divine beasts has comparable defense to it.  The only other armor I've seen was for protecting against the environment and had worse defense.

Do upgrades past the first level make that much of a difference?  I somehow managed to avoid stumbling across any other great fairy fountains, so I've been unable to upgrade anything past the first level.

Yea in my experience upgrading your armor does make a difference.   Especially the actual armor you can buy in that one town in the south east.  Getting armor numbers in the double digits quickly cuts the number of hearts you lose to attacks.

Seconding Greiger's notion. If you're not upgrading armor as much as possible, you're going to be getting OHKO'd often. Once I got into late game and had fully upgraded armor sets, I noticed myself taking a heck of a lot less damage from things that previously struck fear into my heart for their ability to kill me in one to two hits.

Also, regarding (Red-Maned) Lynels: Flurry Rush. Flurry Rush is your friend. If you get the timing down, a Lynel becomes an incredibly simple series of Flurry Rushes.

The other colors are a little harder because they don't all have the same basic combo, but you can still manage.

I'm going to have to go on another Hyrule wide scouting trip for great fairies then.  Not sure how I missed their fountains, but it sounds like that's the major source of my troubles.  I definitely need to do this before facing Ganon, since I'm sure he'll one shot me if a moblin can halfway do it.

If you've upgraded your armor as much as possible and are still taking more damage than you'd like then you should start cooking up heart-extending food and damage resistance food. Even a small damage resistance boost can make a difference, and the resistance buff can be combined with heart and stamina extension buffs.

Don't feel bad about missing them. Whether you find them early enough to keep you prepared for the enemies ahead is partially a matter of thoroughness, but also largely a matter of luck. The "first" fountain is super easy to find, and you're basically expected to find it provided you do the early story quests, but the others are pretty easy to miss. Some NPCs will give you hints on certain fountains, so be sure to talk to people you meet if you're not doing that already. Aside from that, just... go everywhere. Especially to places that seem difficult to reach.

The fountains aren't particularly well-hidden, I found. Two of them are easily visible from the towers of their respective areas if you bother looking around the surrounding area, and the hardest one to find is still next to both a shrine and a side quest objective.
