Description
Link came to see Darunia in his search for the three Spiritual Stones. At this time, the Gorons of Death Mountain were in a state of famine due to Ganondorf's mischief. A host of Dodongos had infested the Dodongo's Cavern which made it difficult for the Gorons to harvest their crop of rocks for food. To make matters worse, there was a massive boulder blocking the entrance to the cave. Ganondorf told Darunia that he'd remove it if Darunia would hand over the Spiritual Stone.
Darunia, of course, refused and waited for help from the King. He was expecting someone from the Royal Family when Link finally arrived. Irate, the mighty Goron shouted at Link to leave. Link, however, was persistant and succeeded in cheering Darunia up by playing a song for him on the ocarina. The Spiritual Stone of Fire, Darunia explained, was also known as the Goron's Ruby, and was their race's hidden treasure. He agreed to give up the Spiritual Stone if Link could prove himself by alleviating the Dodongo problem.
Link did indeed toil through the dungeon, and defeated King Dodongo. With the rock harvest safe, and the Dodongo's Cavern cleared of danger, Darunia kept his word and entrusted Link with the Spiritual Stone of Fire. They became Sworn Brothers that day.
Darunia went to the Fire Temple to look for the mythological hammer with which he could defeat Volvagia and save the Gorons in the temple. While inside, he again met up with Link, and they were successful in bringing down the dragon and freeing the trapped Gorons. After the battle with Volvagia, Link was transported to the Chamber of Sages in the Sacred Realm where Darunia revealed that he was the Sage of Fire. He gave Link the Fire Medallion to help in the struggle against Ganondorf.

Miscellaneous Notes
Darunia is also the name of a town in AoL. In fact, most of the sages in OoT were named after a town in AoL. (Or, from an in-game historical perspective, most of the towns in AoL were named after the sages who sealed Ganon.)
