Skipper's Retreat

Skipper's Retreat is where Captain Skipper, the Ancient Robot, lived many years in the past. Link and Skipper visit the area in search of the Ancient Sea Chart while on their quest to find the Sandship. The area is made of tall rock spires, which require the use of the Whip and Clawshots to get around the small island.

Features
Skipper's Retreat is located in the Lanayru Sand Sea, and like most of Lanayru Province,it is dry, sandy, and bereft of life in the present. Skipper's Retreat is comprised of a large number of spires jutting out of the sea of sinksand below. To get around the area, Link has to use his Clawshots to hook on to the native Peahats and targets located around him. There are also ziplines that Link can use to get to back to the dock where the ship is located.

The first time Link visits Skipper's Retreat is when he is looking for the fabled Sandship which contains Nayru's Sacred Flame. Skipper, the captain of the fabled Sandship, informs Link that there is a sea chart inside his house that could lead them to the ship. Link eventually travels up to the tallest spire where Skipper's house is located, using the Gust Bellows to find the sea chart. Fi recommends dealing with the bug infestation within the shack before finding the sea chart.

Enemies that appear at Skipper's Retreat are Electric Spumes, Electric Chuchus, Furnix, Aracha, Deku Babas, and a single Metal Shield Moblin.

The island is one of the few homes of the Sand Cicada, which seem to be part of a large bug infestation in Skipper's home, and is also home to a single Goddess Cube. Some broken-down Ancient Robots can be found inside Skipper's house, possibly his family or friends.
