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.

[TheBronzePickle]

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.

Spoiler: mild nsfw, mild spumblers (click to show/hide)

After Ganon's usurpation of Hyrule's protective machines, the near death of the hero chosen by the sword, and the ghostification of the other champions, a plan was formed by the survivors. Not the thing about putting Link in a bath. Another thing. More importantly than the defeat of Ganon, the loss of such fabulous man meat could not be allowed. In a realm of men whose faces looked like mashed potatoes packed over a giant packing peanut, it was agreed by the hottest women of the time that under no circumstances could Link be allowed to not have a vast harem to spread his Adonis genes throughout the land. He would surely survive, but what manner of ultra bods would await him? And so the supermodels of the land - Purah, Impa, Zelda, some bird lady with a gigantic ass, and little bits of the skeletons of Mipha and Urbosa that had rained down upon Hyrule a little earlier that week, gathered one final time to agree upon a hilarious prank to greet the hero upon his resurrection. "I shall bear a granddaughter of outrageous beauty that's too sheltered to understand her rampaging hormones, to frustrate the hero," promised Impa. Purah scoffed, declaring, "I shall reverse my own aging! But into the physical age of like a six year old or something, but wearing thigh highs and a short frilly skirt. Right before the hero wakes up, so there's just no way because it'd be technically legal but also illegal or something." Zelda first had to adjust herself, because of the discomfort of finding a new dress in an era of dead tailors with also an ass the size of a horse but a thigh gap like that one tree you can drive through. With that done she said, "I'm gonna fuck that Link, but I shall never directly say so," and promptly got herself captured or used magic to, like, be immortal or asleep, but still able to communicate or whatever. The bird lady pecked at some seed, thought long and hard, then let loose a loud and thunderous BUK-CAW. The others marveled at her wisdom. Except Impa, who could not speak Rito, and so pretended to marvel so as to not seem totally racist. Mipha and Urbosa's skeletons jittered and made shambly noises to communicate their own plans: Urbosa's descendant would be perhaps the most beautiful being to have ever been born, but be exactly jail bait-teen years old by the time Link woke up. And Mipha, who had no nipples or genitals and seemingly no plan for how the sex stuff would even work, declared that her brother would sexually confuse Link in her stead. Also that one hot purple haired girl from Gerudo Town was there. She was an immortal vampire. Pretty cool, huh? And thus was laid their plan to provoke Link into either going mad with lust and starting a vast and weird harem, or a life of furious and enraged masturbation. Either would inevitably lead to the destruction of Ganon. Somehow. Yes. The Gorons didn't really help.

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.

[Telgin]

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?"

Spoiler: The list so far, technically spoilers (click to show/hide)

• Decayed guardian stalker - Okay, this was a learning experience and I'm okay with dying to a giant death laser from an ancient robot
• Dark bokoblin with an axe - Died 5 minutes after leaving the starting island, but okay, another learning experience.
• Stone talus - I was trying to run away, since this one was telegraphed as being bad news.
• Centaur (lynel?) I walked into by mistake - Okay, guess I shouldn't be here yet.  I'll go a different way.
• Guardian stalker - Hmm, guess I shouldn't go that way either.
• Dark bokoblin with a spear
• Lizalfos with a spear
• Lizalfos with lightning arrows
• Another centaur I had to steal lightning arrows from - Have to do this but this guy can kill me in 1 hit and can hit me with lightning even when not in line of sight
• Lizalfos with a greatsword
• Moblin with fire arrows
• Moblin with a club
• Moblin stalfos with a club
• Flying guardians around a tower - See above about death lasers.  I know you're supposed to just avoid them, but there's this one spot with moblins...
• Yiga clan swordsman - Yeah, I know, you're supposed to trick them with the bananas, but I couldn't consistently do this and had to fight.  Ended up bomb kiting 3.  13+ hearts of damage in one swing seems kind of unnecessary, unless they're preprogrammed to instakill you regardless of health.  Mipha's grace doesn't save you either, so maybe they are.
• Guardian scout with an axe - It was a major test of strength, but it would have been nice if Mipha's grace worked in the shrines so I didn't have to whittle down 3,000 HP without getting hit once.
• Vah Naboris boss - Okay, it's a boss, so I can understand being hard, but I don't know how I could have possibly done this if I didn't save it for last.  12+ hearts of damage per hit.  I died to this thing way more than anything else in the game.  You are supposed to be able to do the divine beasts in any order, right?

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.

[Greiger]

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.

[Nighthawk]

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.

[SOLDIER First]

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.

[Telgin]

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.

Cotera - Up the hill from Kakariko Village. You probably already have her.
Kaysa - South from Tabantha Tower in the Tabantha Region. Not hard to spot her fountain.
Mija - East from Akkala Tower in Akkala. Look at the circular bit of land in Akkala Lake (where Tarrey Town appears eventually) and then turn a bit to the right.
Tera - At the giant skeleton in the very bottom-left corner of the map, in the Gerudo Region.

The fairies require increasing amounts of money to unlock them (and simultaneously boost every other fairy's power, meaning you can upgrade armor an additional level at any unlocked fountain). It goes 100, 500, 1,000 and then 10,000 regardless of the order you actually unlock them in, allowing you to upgrade armor to a max of 4 stars.

Non-spoiler: as you upgrade armor more, the animation for the upgrade becomes noticeably more... risqué. Make of them what you will.

[Ozyton]

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.

[TheBronzePickle]

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.
