Yeah, I found it hilarious when the Goron in
TP said it, because it was so random and unexpected. First, he was being all serious and reflective, but it was all a red herring to try to sell you arrows.
Two of the Kikwi say it in
SS as well. Yerbal, the hermit Kikwi at the top of the tree, and also Erba, the Kikwi trying to blend in with the grass.
I can't find an image of Erba, but he does say it after he either gives you something, or reveals a secret. I can't remember.
