{{Term/Store|Lanayru Desert||Series, SS}} is a location in {{SS}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote='''Lanayru Desert'''|book=HH|page=18}}</ref> Lanayru Desert is the centerpiece of the [[Lanayru Province]].

The Lanayru Desert, along with the rest of the [[Lanayru Province]], was once a vast green landscape, inhabited by a technologically advanced civilization which used [[Ancient Robot|Robot]]s to perform various mining tasks in the area. However, climate change slowly transformed the once prosperous region into a desert over several centuries,<ref name="Arid">{{Cite|A report, Master Link. We have arrived at Lanayru Mine. This arid region was transformed into a desert over the course of several hundred years. My projections show that Zelda must have traveled through this area.|Fi|SS}}</ref> leaving all of the region's natural resources depleted and the Robots eventually broken down as well; all that remains of the once green land is a vast Desert with many hazards, such as [[Sinksand]].<ref>{{Cite|We have arrived at Lanayru Desert. The terrain in this area changed dramatically as climate forces rapidly turned it into a desert. I have confirmed numerous areas of sinksand. Should you step in sinksand, you may be swallowed by the desert. Bodily danger has increased by 30%. As a safety measure, I recommend you check the terrain on your map with +.|Fi|SS}}</ref> Along with the decay of the green land, a [[Lanayru Sand Sea|Sand Sea]] is now located where the great sea once was.

After Link activates one the Desert's many Timeshift Stones, the area, the Ancient Robots, and objects all located within the vicinity of the Stone all replenish and reactivate to life.<ref>{{Cite|I am able to confirm that a time shift has occurred within this space. Any impact to the blue stones creates a sustained temporal disruption field in the surrounding area. Readings show that this area is in a past time state.|Fi|SS}}</ref> After traveling through the Mine, Link finds himself in Lanayru Desert. He proceeds to explore the Desert and finds an Ancient Robot under attack from a technologically advanced variety of [[Bokoblin]] known as the [[Technoblin]]. After Link rescues the Robot, it thanks the young hero and upgrades his [[Beetle (Item)|Beetle]] into a [[Hook Beetle]] so that it can now pick up and drop various objects. The Robot also reveals that the Beetle was manufactured by the same civilization that produced the Robots.<ref>{{Cite|Oh... Look at that, zrrpt... You have a Beetle. It appears to be an older model of Lanayru fabrication. As thanks for saving me, I will upgrade it for you, zwooop. Give it here for a second, phwing! I've added a pincer modification so you can grab things, brrrrrrrt.|Ancient Robot|SS}}</ref> Using his upgraded Beetle, the young hero travels further across the Desert, and reaches the ancient [[Temple of Time#Skyward Sword|Temple of Time]] where Zelda is said to be located. Unfortunately, Link finds that the entrance to the Temple is blocked by rubble. [[Gorko]] the [[Goron]] tells him that the entrance's collapse was caused by a recent explosion there.<ref>{{Cite|Good to see you, bud! Seems like you pop up everywhere! Though I am one to talk... Anyway, bud, there is something I am dying to tell you. It is the discovery of the century! This is a sacred place known as the Temple of Time. I could not believe my eyes when I saw a human who lives on the legendary Isle of the Goddess! It wore clothes just like the ones written about in the ancient manuscripts! And it looked just like you, bud! It came with another person...and they entered the temple! I wanted to chase after them... But then there was an explosion all of a sudden! And the entrance... Well, you can see for yourself, bud. I do not think we are getting past this mess. I just wish we could find out what is happening on the other side!|Gorko|SS}}</ref> Upon saving it from the local Technoblins, another Robot alters Link's Map to show the region based on how it appeared in the past, revealing that there is another entrance to the Temple of Time located deep inside [[Lanayru Mining Facility]]. The modified map also reveals submerged paths over the quicksand in the area, allowing Link to travel around the Desert with ease.<ref>{{Cite|A report, Master Link. The map you possess corresponds to the actual terrain of this area with only 35% accuracy. The robot you met earlier modified your map to show past terrain that is now submerged below the sinksand.|Fi|SS}}</ref>  To access the mining facility, Link must activate the three power nodes, which energize the [[Power Generator]] that can raise the mining facility's entrance from below the ground. Upon doing so, it rises out of the sand and the young hero ventures within, obtaining the [[Gust Bellows]] and fighting the facility's boss, [[Moldarach]], a large, fully grown [[Aracha]]. After defeating Moldarach, Link enters the Temple of Time, discovering Zelda and [[Impa#Skyward Sword|Impa]] at one of the two surviving [[Gate of Time|Gates of Time]]. However, before Link can reunite with Zelda, [[Ghirahim]] breaks through the rubble at the entrance. He engages in battle with Impa while Zelda gives Link the [[Goddess's Harp]].<ref>{{Cite|Link! Link, here! You'll need this where you're going.|Zelda|SS}}</ref> With Link's help, Zelda and Impa escape through the gate, destroying it behind them.
