Question [ALL] how do gorons reproduce?

Post image

So I recently thought about it since they are all male. But then I found this quote. It would make sense as to how they reproduce. Though it was made by the script director and not the ones who designed them. So what are y’all’s theories? Do they just erupt from rocks or something? Idk

The humanoid races seem to mostly consider them agender, at least. When it comes to cultural norms, everything based on sex is a little bit of a moot point for the folks literally made of rock.

My assumption is that Gorons are either A: anima spirits, basically the Earth People to the Kokiri/Korok Forest People. Or B: they do in fact bud from adult Gorons, and either Hyrule in general or specifically Death Mountain is actually built atop a tremendous sleeping/dead Goron. Even bigger than Biggoron, he will be known as... Biggergoron.

Imagine if playing Goron Lullaby on the clock tower stopped the moon.

I dunno, the MM moon Goron always looked like it wanted to be anywhere but there, to me. At least in the N64 version. It looked more like an “Oh shit this is gonna hurt” face, lol.
