Ancient Flower

"You got an Ancient Flower! Legends say this beautiful flower flourished in the ancient past. Supposedly it glows in the dark..."

— In-game description[1]

Ancient Flowers are collectible items found in Skyward Sword. They are found only in Lanayru Province,[2][3] and can only be acquired when an area is affected by a Timeshift Stone, thus sending it to the past.[4] The Ancient Flower sells for 30 Rupees and can be used to upgrade certain items. In addition, the Ancient Flower is vital to the revival of Scrapper.[5] Gondo utilizes the flower's oils in order to make the robot function once again.[6][7]
