Darunia: Gorons first appeared in OOT. They weren't in any Zelda game before that, likely because storylinewise, they all died out or something (not sure why, food source should always be plentiful, unless it all got covered up by some blue wet stuff or something). Also, to say the story is just a repeat of OOT (the rescuing bit) is to ignore the fact that Zelda 1 AND Link to the Past (and to a somewhat lesser extent Zelda 2) had that exact same basic story. Don't treat OOT like it's the first game where Zelda got good or something like that, or that it's the only one that counts.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
