Skipper's Retreat

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

Appearance and Features
Skipper's Retreat is located in the Lanayru Sand Sea, and like most of Lanayru Province it is dry and sandy. Skipper's Retreat is comprised of a number of spires jutting out of sinksand below. To get around the area, Link has to use his Clawshot to hook on to the native Peahats or 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 Sandship, informs Link that there is a sea chart inside his house that could lead them to the ship. Link travels up to the tallest spire where Skipper's house is located, using the Gust Bellow's wind to find the sea chart. According to Fi there is a bug infestation inside Skipper's Dwelling.

Enemies that appear at Skipper's Dwelling are Electric Spumes, Electric Chuchus, Furnix, Arachas, Deku Babas, and a Big Moblin.

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