Lanayru Spring

The Lanayru Spring is a location that appears in Twilight Princess. It is one of the four Light Springs located across Hyrule including the Ordon Spring, the Faron Spring, and the Eldin Spring. Each spring is the home of each respective Light Spirit, thus meaning the Lanayru Spring is the home of the Light Spirit Lanayru. It can be found in Lake Hylia, to the west side.

Visits

Link will visit the Lanayru Spring a mandatory amount of three times. However, there is a goodie he can get by coming a fourth time.

Number 1

The first time Link goes to the Lanayru Spring is when the Lanayru Province is still in Twilight. He comes here to recieve the Vessel of Light from Lanayru, allowing him to find the Tears of Light that will restore the land. This is a quick visit; he enters, listens to Lanayru talk about himself and Links task, and then leaves.

Number 2

Link's second visit is directly after he has compiled all the Tears of Light. It is here where Link will restore the Lanayru Province back to light, and heal Lanayru. Lanayru will tell Link the tale of the Fused Shadows; how the Interlopers seized the Sacred Realm, and the Light Spirits were ordered by the Golden Goddesses to seal away their power and also seal away them into the Twilight Realm.

Number 3

Link will visit the Lanayru Spring a third time, right away defeating Morpheel in the Lakebed Temple. Midna will warp Link to the spring, and the moment Link prepares to leave, Zant appears. He steals the Fused Shadows, and seriously harms Midna. He also places the Shadow Crystal inside Link, causing him to be in Wolf form. He leaves with both Link and Midna seriously harmed.

Number 4 (Optional)

The fourth visit is completely optional, and is only being done in order to retrieve a Piece of Heart that lies in the area. It requires the Clawshot and for Link to be in Hylian form, and thus cannot be done until after the Lakebed Temple has been completed and the Master Sword has been obtained. Barring those requirements are met, Link can use the Clawshot to reach a secret room in the back of the area, where he will a chest that containes the Piece of Heart.
