Learning Location

The Goron Lullaby is learned at the Goron Shrine in the Goron Village.

The full lullaby is learned in two parts: the first six notes, known as the "Lullaby Intro", are taught to Link by the Goron Elder, but since he cannot remember the rest, Link must go and play the introduction to the Baby Goron inside the Goron Shrine.^[1][2] Upon hearing the "Lullaby Intro," the Baby Goron teaches the young hero the last two notes, and the "Lullaby Intro" becomes the "Goron Lullaby."^[3][4]

Uses

This lullaby has the opposite effect to that of the "Sonata of Awakening:" it puts people, specifically the Gorons, to sleep.^[5] Link must use this song in order to put the Goron who is blocking the path to the Snowhead Temple to sleep.

The Goron Lullaby is also heard in Twilight Princess after activating the Howling Stone by Lake Hylia. In addition, various notes of the song are included in the background theme for Goron Mines.

Etymology

A lullaby is a melody played to children in order to help them sleep at night.
