Goron City in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is home to Gorons and the future Sage, Yunobo. It is also one of the game’s nine major towns and villages. The temperature around the city is hot, and you will need heat-resistant clothes to complete main and side quests there.
You can buy the Flamebreaker set from the Armor shop in Goron City. The prices will be slightly reasonable due to the Regional Phenomena happening around the city. The Regional Phenomena in Zelda: TotK has four parts that require you to travel in all four directions from the Lookout Landing.
Goron City location in Zelda: TotK
Goron City is located North of Eldin Canyon and West of Death Mountain. Along the road, you will encounter several side quests and three shrines that can be used as a fast travel point later in the game.
Goron City is to the Northeast of Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower. You can activate the tower and use it to get airborne. Glide all the way to the Northeast to reach Goron City. You can make a pit stop at the Marakuguc Shrine on a hill overlooking the city.
This shrine can be used as a fast-travel point to Goron City.
How to get to Goron City in Tears of the Kingdom
To reach Goron City, leave the northeastern gate of Lookout Landing and follow the road toward Hylia River, crossing Mabe Prairie. Following this road, you will reach Yamiyo Shrine (0332, 0467, 0029) near Romani Planes. You should take a horse from the Lookout Stable you just completed to travel faster.
From Yamiyo Shrine, follow the road toward the North and cross the bridge. If you want to complete another shrine, take the route off-road, go North toward the water, and reach Sepapa Shrine (0219, 1082, 0029). After activating the shrine, cross the bridge in the North and follow the road to the East until you reach Pico Pond.
You can activate the Ekochio Shrine (1062, 1281, 0045) in the North to change your horse or take one. You can do so since the Woodland Stable (1096, 1139, 0021) is in the South of this shrine.
Take the Road to the East from Woodland Stable until you reach the Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower (1641, 1190, 0225) and reveal the Eldin Region for better navigation. Since you will be flying in the air, you can glide toward the North, and with the Purah Pad Camera, you can pinpoint Timawak Shrine (1799, 1638, 0311) near Goronbi Lake.
Afterward, follow the road in the North until you reach the area with many archways; follow the path, and you will meet Addison along the way. Keep going; you will be in Goron City before you know it.
