Lanayru Caves

The Lanayru Caves are a small network of caverns located in the Lanayru Desert region featured in Skyward Sword.

Appearance and Features
The Lanayru Caves are a network of small caverns covered with stalagmites and Bomb Flowers that can be used to blow up the many bombable rocks that are located inside the cave. The small cavern is also the site of a research dig of Timeshift Stone and home to a Goron known as Golo. It is first visited by Link after he completes Nayru's Silent Realm Trial and recieves the Clawshots. With his newly aquired item Link is able to cross over a large pit of quicksand that lead to the cavern's entrance. Once inside Link proceeds to talk with Golo who informs Link that he has heard of a Sacred Flame hidden somewhere in the Lanayru Sand Sea. Golo hands to Link the small key to the door that leads outside to the dock bordering the Sand Sea.

Link returns to the Lanayru Caves while on his quest to find Lanayru the Thunder Dragon so that he can learn his part of the "Song of the Hero". Golo announces that his excavation was a huge success and Link returns to the spot that Golo was previously mining at to find a small bombable hole. The crawlable hole leads to small cavern that holds an exit that leads to Lanayru Gorge where the Thunder Dragon resides.
