Sandship

The Sandship is the 5th dungeon in Skyward Sword. The main item obtained is the Bow and its boss is Tentalus.

Entrance to the Ship
The Sandship sails the Lanayru Sand Sea and has a cloaking feature that allows it to turn invisible, so Link must search for the Sandship using Fi's Dowsing abilities in order to retrieve Nayru's Flame. In order to dowse for it, he must first go to the Pirate's Stronghold with the help of Skipper. To get on the ship, Link must use the cannon on Skipper's ship to strike it. After enough hits, the ship breaks down, allowing Link to embark.

Themes and Navigation
The Sandship's center mast contains a Timeshift Stone which, when activated, encompasses the entire ship and the surrounding area. The dungeon also features many Eye Switches. To free the ship's crew, Link must use the Timeshift Stone to alternate between past and present to navigate the ship and reach the generators. Once the generators have been turned on and the ship's crew have been freed, they give Link the key to the Captain's Cabin, where the control room key, the Squid Carving, lies.
