LD-301: Difference between revisions

In [[Lanayru Mine]], a robot comments that one of his friends has been kidnapped the other day.{{Ref|SS|5929|LD-301 in [[Lanayru Mine]]}} 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|SS|5887|LD-301 located in [[Lanayru Desert]]}}.

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 Talking to him will make him go away, but before that, he will comment that Link's map is outdated, and change it so that is shows the desert like it was in the past.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}}}}
