Lanayru (Dragon)

Lanayru is one of the three elemental Dragons who protect the Surface, and appears in Skyward Sword. He was assigned to protect Lanayru Province by the goddess Hylia, and he has power over thunder.

Story
When Link visits the Lanayru Gorge, where the Thunder Dragon is said to rest, all he finds are his skeletal remains. To revive him, Link has to transport a Timeshift Stone through the Lanayru Gorge where an old mining facility remains in ruins. Once Link transports the Timeshift Stone Kart to the power pedestal that uses the Timeshift Stone as a power source and in return, the power pedestal amplifying the Timeshift Stone's effect radius, it restores the area around it to it's once lush landscape. Upon reviving Lanayru, Link discovers that he is deathly ill, and cannot teach Link the Song of the Hero. He tells Link that the Ancient Robots were worried about him, so they planted a seedling from the Life Tree in the Gorge. However, the seedling will not grow anywhere in Lanayru Province due to its future desert environment. After relocating the seedling to the Temple of Hylia(the name of sealed grounds in the past) via, the Gate of Time, and getting the fruit from the Tree of Life after returning to Link's original timeline again via, the Gate of Time, Link returns to Lanayru Gorge to heal Lanayru. He grasps the huge Life Tree Fruit by the root and tosses it into Lanayru's gaping mouth, with Lanayru commenting "Down the Hatch!", before eating it. Interestingly enough, despite the Fruit's appearance of a chewy texture, it makes the sound of a crunch as if an apple was bitten into. Lanayru then boasts about what a great singer he is, then sings his part of Song of the Hero to Link. After he teaches Link his part of the song of the hero, he says to come back soon. When Link does, Lanayru will let Link participate in the Lightning Round mini-game, where Link may re-fight all the previous bosses, excluding Levias and Bilocyte, or explore the silent realms once again, for prizes, with the condition that Link may not use his pouch items, with the exception of his shield. If you quit after winning the eighth battle, he will get the Hylian Shield which is indestructiable and blocks both fire and electricity.

Trivia

 * Lanayru considers giving Link a model number, (LD-Link-16), but Link isn't found of the name.
