LD-301: Difference between revisions

After reaching the [[Temple of Time]] and finding the entrance blocked, Link explores the area and finds some Timeshift Shards, and a mine cart, that would transport him back to the [[Lanayru Desert|desert]]. However, a robot is blocking the cart's way, sitting on the tracks. Talking to him will make him go away, but before that, he will comment that Link's map is outdated, and change it so that is shows the desert like it was in the past. This map shows ancient paths leading from the center outward, and when Link reaches the desert using the cart, he finds out he doesn't sink into the sinksand when walking over such a path. This is essential in navigating the sinksand-covered north portion of the desert. The upgraded map stays the one you use throughout the rest of the game. {{Fi|{{Dump|SS|5946}}}}

Once Link revives the [[Lanayru (Dragon)|Thunder Dragon]] with the Timeshift Shard on the cart, he find out the dragon is ill and can't sing his part of the [[Song of the Hero]] to him. The robots have planted a [[Life Tree Seedling]] but are worried it will take too long to grow, commenting on the desert climate, although in the past it was not yet a desert. Link must then unearth the seedling and take it to the [[Sealed Temple]] through the [[Gate of Time]] to plant it, and then retrieve the [[Life Tree Fruit]] in his own time. (See [[Song of the Hero#Lanayru|main article about this part]]). Although no LD-301s are directly involved in this quest, e.g. by having a speech bubble over their head or modifying your items, their speech can be helpful, and shows they are interested and involved in Link's actions. This is only logical, since the "Master Thunder Dragon" is their creator and protector.
