They've got sound effects for EVERYTHING. I've heard you can even buy entire dictionaries of sound effects.

No, those are gorons. But, now that you mention it, gorons due roll around a lot so the named might be derived from goro goro.

Yeah, I noticed that. I was about to point that out, but then Cheez was like "like the dudes from OoT?" and then you were all "no, those are Gorons." and I was all doing homework and all, but now I'm finished so it's all good. ;-)

:D Wuz actually playing OoT a few days ago. Fun game, that is. Wonder if there's any other (possible) origins for the names of the other races.
May the Triforce be with you.
