Task 1: Getting the Iron Boots
The Rolling Goron
On your way up to Death Mountain, you will encounter a Goron that rolls right at you. The Goron is considerably more powerful than a runaway goat, and will knock you off the cliff. Return to the village and speak to Renado, who tells you that the Bo, the mayor of Ordon Village, knows how to keep Gorons from pushing you around.
A Panicked Epona
When you return to the center of town, Epona will barrel through, knocking you to the ground. Mount her then follow the onscreen prompts to stay on the horse. After several seconds, you'll be able to seized the reins by pressing the A button.
Now that you have control over your horse, jump the village gate and return to Ordon Village. If you howled at the howling stone on Death Mountain, the golden wolf will be waiting for you at the Ordon Spring. Go to him to learn the Shield Attack, then head to the mayor's house in the village.
The Way of the Sumo
When you talk to him, Bo will take you to a sumo ring and fill you in on the basics of sumo wrestling. After a quick warm-up match, you'll face him for real. With a victory, you'll earn the Iron Boots and a warning not to tell Renado about them. Pick up some milk at Sera's Sundries if you have an empty bottle, then return to Kakariko Village.**Heart Piece**: If you go back to your boss’s ranch and round up the goats, he’ll give you a heart piece.
As you head back to Kakariko Village, you witness Colin's kidnapping by a group of Bulbins on boars. You hop onto Epona and give chase in the hopes of rescuing him...
Task 2: To the Mines
Boar Baddies
With Epona beneath you, head northwest out of the village to give chase to Colin's kidnappers. Chase after the leader and slash him repeatedly to shake loose his armor. Your initial victory against him is followed by a jousting match on a stone bridge. Charge toward your opponent at full speed, swerve left or right as you draw near, then swing your sword when you pass him. If you miss, pull back to turn around, then charge again. If you get knocked off the bridge, you'll lose health. Drink some milk to recover it.
The Hylain Shield
When you return to Kakariko Village, you'll discover that Malo opened a shop in the old general store. Inside, you'll find the Hylain Shield for 200 rupees. While there are other places where you can purchase one, Malo Mart provides the best deal. Purchase it if you have the money, then head up to Death Mountain.
Pushovers
As you head up Death Mountain, have your Iron Boots in one of your item slots so it can be easily equipped. When a Goron tries to push you over the edge, equip the boots, press A to stop the Goron, then toss him to either side. You'll repeat this process numerous times as you head up the path.
Archer Troubles
Eventually you will reach a place where Bulbin Archers shoot fire arrows at you. You can either use nearby grass to call for a falcon, you can use your slingshot to dispose of them (remember to aim higher than the archers so you can hit them), or you can just run right past them and hope not to get hit by a fire arrow.
What Goes Up...
When you reach the Goron camp, you'll witness two things: a Goron giving his pal a boost and the crash of a molten boulder. You'll deal with the rock later. For now, just fight the Gorons until they roll up (the Shield Attack works well at stunning them), climb onto them, and use them to launch up higher. Whenever you get to a steam geyser, equip the Iron Boots to cross past it.
Sumo Showdown
Once inside the building atop the mountain, the leader of the Gorons, Gor Coron, will challenge you to a sumo match to test your worthiness as a hero. Strap on the Iron Boots and remember Bo's words. One toss out of the ring is all you need.
After your victory, the Goron Mines are open to you. If you would rather like to explore, there is an elevator down to the hot springs that can be activated with the Iron Boots. The hot springs possess the same healing properties as a spirit spring, and the hot water can be bottled for use, but it cools down eventually. There is also a shop down by the springs. Once you are prepared, head into Goron Mines.
