Biography
Tears of the Kingdom
In the Era of Foundation, Agraston was the Goron Sage of Fire and one of the Six Sages.[6] He was a leader to the Gorons, and during the Imprisoning War, he fought alongside the King of Hyrule, Rauru, as a Sage.[10][11]
Agraston can be seen in the Forgotten Temple during the Memory "The Sages' Vow". When Rauru reveals the room containing the Secret Stones, Agraston recognizes them.[12] Rauru grants the four remaining Stones to Agraston, Raphica, Qia, and Ardi, intending to increase their power before facing Demon King Ganondorf.[10][13] Agraston's Stone turns into a Secret Stone of Fire, and he becomes the Sage of Fire. Once this is done, the Six Sages make a vow of loyalty to Rauru.[14]
In flashbacks to the Imprisoning War, Agraston wields a Boulder Breaker. Despite their strength, Rauru and the Sages were unable to overcome Demon King Ganondorf, and Agraston appears wounded by Gloom during the Memory "The Imprisoning War".[15] To distract the Demon King, the Sages throw their Weapons toward him, which Princess Zelda returns to them using Recall. This allows Rauru to get closer to Ganondorf, and he subsequently sacrifices himself to seal the Demon King away.[15] The Sage of Fire witnesses this event.
Following the Imprisoning War, Zelda came to visit Agraston at the Fire Temple.[16] She warned that Demon King Ganondorf would one day break free from his seal, and she asked him to ensure the Gorons would support Link when the time comes to oppose him.[17] As a result, he vowed that a new Sage of Fire will awaken when the Demon King returns and fight alongside Link.[18] Afterwards, during the Memory "Tears of the Dragon", Agraston can be seen with the Raphica, Qia, and Ardi, watching as the Light Dragon disappears into the Sky.
Throughout the Main Quest "Yunobo of Goron City", Yunobo and Link hear Agraston's voice calling to them from the Depths.[19][20] Once they reach the Fire Temple, Agraston instructs them to ring the Gongs to release the five Locks, which will allow them to access the Temple's innermost chamber.[21] After Marbled Gohma has been defeated, a Secret Stone will appear before them.[22] When Yunobo touches it, Agraston appears before them, introducing himself as Yunobo's ancestor.[6] He expresses his pride in Yunobo's Power of Fire, and he reveals that Demon King Ganondorf sent Marbled Gohma to prevent Yunobo from finding his Secret Stone.[23] Hearing Yunobo's confusion, the Sage proceeds to tell him the story of the Imprisoning War.[24]
Following his retelling, Agraston warns that, although Goron City has been saved, Demon King Ganondorf still poses a threat to all of Hyrule.[25] Therefore, he asks Yunobo to honor the vow he made to Princess Zelda and fight alongside Link, at which point he disappears.[26]
Other Appearances
Age of Imprisonment
Agraston is the Goron Chief and an old friend of Rauru, the King of Hyrule. He is an intellectual and calm leader.[9]
At some point following Zelda's arrival to Ancient Hyrule, Agraston is summoned to the Ancient Hyrule Castle's Audience Chamber. There, he receives a Divine Helm from Rauru.
Trivia
- The existence of Agraston in Tears of the Kingdom was accidentally leaked by Pietro Ubaldi, who is the Italian voice actor for both Agraston and Daruk. He described Agraston as an ancestor to Daruk.[27]
- Agraston is the only one of the ancient Sages in Tears of the Kingdom to lack a modeled face beneath his Divine Helm.
Nomenclature
Agraston's name is derived from the Acasta Gneiss, a geological complex located in Canada which is the source of the earliest known rocks on Earth, and possibly the word stone. His name follows the same pattern as his fellow Sages Raphica, Qia, and Ardi being named for the earliest known specimens of what they are based on.

I've heard that voice... Are you the one who's been talking to us this whole time, goro?

Many years ago, in the kingdom of Hyrule's earliest days... A great evil, the Demon King, sought to conquer the kingdom and kill everyone who resisted his rule. Rauru—the first king of Hyrule—rose up to oppose him, along with me and five other warriors. And to fight the Demon King, Rauru trusted us with secret stones. Incredible artifacts that amplified our powers. I stood beside my fellow sages as the Sage of Fire, stronger than ever with my secret stone.
— Agraston (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
Rauru. The Demon King... He is not someone you can stop by yourself. But...you are not alone. You have the Gerudo, Goron, Zora, and Rito leaders, as well as Zelda... And of course...you can count on me.

Zonai... Secret stones...
— Agraston (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
Stand with me. I need all your aid.
— Rauru (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
We all, gathered here, swear on our lives to serve Rauru, the King of Light.

However, we were no match for the Demon King. Even my strongest blows weren't enough to break him. Rauru understood that we couldn't overcome the Demon King... In one last brave act, our leader sacrificed himself to imprison that monster.
— Agraston (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
And then, some time later... The Sage of Time—one of the six sages—came to me. Her visit would set the Gorons' duty in stone.
— Agraston (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
The magic restraining the Demon King will be undone. He will return. When that time comes, a noble swordsman named Link will oppose him. But Link will need help. Lend him your power... Your fire... The Goron's mastery for fire!
— Princess Zelda (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
I'd like nothing more than to smash the Demon King. I swear that, when the Demon King returns, the Sage of Fire will awaken again. The Goron sage and the Goron people will fight alongside your swordsman.
— Agraston (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
What's that? I thought I heard something...
— Yunobo (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
Huh?
— Yunobo (Tears of the Kingdom)Come... Come... to me...
— Agraston (Tears of the Kingdom)I'm hearing things again! But...I mean, you heard that too, right, Link?! 'Cause I definitely heard someone speaking just now! Let's see... I think... I think it was coming from thataway... Maybe this has to do with Zelda. I've got a heapin' pile of questions for her, so let's hurry to where Zelda is!
— Yunobo (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
Hear that? There it is again!
— Yunobo (Tears of the Kingdom)Young, little rock... The gate you must pass through is firmly locked with five padlocks. You have the power to unlock them all. Do so, then the gate should open. Heed my words...
— Agraston (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
You defeated the four-legged monster, but Princess Zelda was nowhere to be seen. Shortly afterward, however, a sparkling stone fell from the ceiling.
— Adventure Log (Tears of the Kingdom)
Yunobo is looking at it with wonder. - ↑
You fight using your body as a weapon... Impressive! You ARE my descendant—the pride of the Gorons. You defeated that monster—the source of those foul rocks. But it was the Demon King who summoned it. He sent that monster to keep you from obtaining the stone you just found—my secret stone.
— Agraston (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
Secret stone? Demon King?
— Yunobo (Tears of the Kingdom)Hah, so this is the first you've heard of any of this... Then listen carefully to what I have to say. Let me tell you about the Imprisoning War and the duty of our people.
— Agraston (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
And that's what you need to know about the Imprisoning War and our people's duty... You saved Goron City, but the Demon King is still out there.
— Agraston (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
Yunobo, little rock... Take up my secret stone and honor the pledge I made to the Sage of Time long ago... Fight alongside the swordsman Link...
