LD-301N Skipper

Skipper is a robotic character featured in SS undefined. He is one of a race of Ancient Robots that are found primarily in the Lanayru Province.

Biography
Skipper was once the captain of the ship that protected Nayru's Flame. Now known as the "sandship". He was a family man with at least one child and an admiring crew. After his ship was taken by the pirate Scervo, Skipper's crew were taken hostage and Skipper was thrown overboard. Eventually, the crew succumbed to the wear of time and broke down. Link first meets Skipper when he activates a Timeshift Stone on a boat near Skipper's deactivated body, reanimating the robot. After hearing of Link's quest to find the Sacred Flames, Skipper enlists his aide in locating his lost ship.

They search for clues across the Lanayru Sand Sea, recovering an accurate map of the past Lanayru Sand Sea from Skipper's home at Skipper's Retreat. Link also rides a mine-cart through the vast shipyard where the ship was built, and finds the remnants of the ship at the Pirate Stronghold, which Fi analyzes for Dowsing. Once the Timeshift Stone on the Sandship has been activated, Skipper will take back the ship and ask that Link find his crew who have been held hostage for many years.

After Link has defeated the Abyssal Leviathan Tentalus who attacked and destroyed the ship, Skipper and his crew rebuild the Sandship and continue to sail, still protecting the Sacred Flame hidden on board.

Trivia

 * Skipper seems to be the only Ancient Robot who recognizes his death if he steps out of the area affected by the Timeshift Stone.
