Personality

Courageous at heart, Daruk is extremely dedicated to defeating the Calalmity Ganon. In battle is is loud and ferocious (although he does have a calm side to him as well), such as telling the malevolent creature to "open wide" as he fired his Divine Beast laser at Hyrule Castle.

Upon seeing Hyrule centuries later, Daruk becomes nostalgic, but is happy to learn that the Goron tribe is still thriving.

Biography

Daruk lived in Goron City in the Eldin Canyon region of Hyrule, where he is considered to most powerful member of his race, because of his great offensive skills and his weapon the Boulder Breaker. he was chosen by King Rhoam and Princess Zelda to become the Goron Champion, and pilot, of the Divine Beast Vah Rudania. Daruk initially struggled to control his Divine Beast, but he eventually manages to properly utilize it. In an unfortunate turn of events, Daruk was killed by the Fireblight Ganon during the Great Calamity. His spirit remained trapped inside the corrupted Divine Beast for 100 years.

After his spirit was freed when Link slays the Firerblight Ganon inside the machine, Daruk gives the Hylian Daruk's Protection as a token of gratitude. He was later seen firing his Divine Beast laser at Hyrule Castle to weaken the Calamity Ganon.
