LD-301: Difference between revisions

The LD-301 robots are creatures "from the past" that only come back to life when a [[Timeshift Stone]] is activated. "In the present", i.e. with no Timeshift stone affecting the area, they are discolored and broken, lying on one side. Talking to them will produce a "broken beep" sound effect, and all they say is "..."<ref>{{Cite|SS|5883|LD-301 in [[Lanayru Mine]]}}</ref>. However, in the past, they come back to life. Most are occupied with maintenance or mining. In the latter case, they have large hand extensions attached to improve digging. Most comment on Link being a human, or tell him not to disturb them while they work<ref>{{Cite|SS|5882|LD-301 located in [[Lanayru Mine]]}}</ref>, or give information about recent happenings/nearby objects related to them. Link first encounters them as soon as he lands in [[Lanayru Mine]], however only in their broken form. Since there aren't any Timeshift Stones near, these are never revived.

In [[Lanayru Mine]], a robot comments that one of his friends has been kidnapped the other day <ref> {{cite|SS|5929|LD-301 in [[Lanayru Mine]]}} </ref>. After reaching [[Lanayru Desert]], Link soon finds several cage-like objects, with a [[Timeshift Stone|Timeshift Shard]] in one, and a broken LD-301 in the other. Throwing a bomb to activate the Shard will revive the robot, as well as two [[Technoblin]]s. Defeating these will open both the robot's cage and the Timeshift Shard one, allowing Link to strike the latter again easily whenever he wishes. Speaking to the robot will make him upgrade Link's [[Beetle (Item)|Beetle]] to the [[Hook Beetle]]! The robot will also thank Link for rescuing him, saying "these creeps" nearly sucked all the electricity from him<ref>{{Cite|SS|5887|LD-301 located in [[Lanayru Desert]]}}</ref>.
