'''Lanayru Spring''' is a location in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. As its name suggests, it serves as the home of the [[Light Spirit]] [[Lanayru (Spirit)|Lanayru]] and is situated in [[Lake Hylia]]. This spring is popular for [[Hylian]] citizens since it is here where they can send prayers to the Spirit of Light.<ref>{{cite|We've had a ton of complaints from citizens who can't send prayers to the spring spirit of Lake Hylia.|Hylian Guard|TP}}</ref>

When [[Link]] first walks into the Lanayru Spring as a [[Wolf Link|wolf]], the Light Spirit Lanayru will ask that the young hero defeat the [[Shadow Insect]]s and retrieve the [[Tears of Light]] from them in order to return light to the [[Lanayru Province|province]]. Doing so will restore Lanayru's powers, who will tell Link that the next [[Fused Shadow]] rests in the [[Lakebed Temple]].<ref>{{cite|O hero chosen by the gods... The dark power that you seek... It waits in a temple set in the bed of Lake Hylia.|Lanayru|TP}}</ref> Before Link departs, however, Lanayru informs the young hero about the true power of the [[Fused Shadow]] and will also speak to him about the [[Sacred Realm]], the [[Triforce]], and the [[Interloper War]] caused by the [[Twili]].<ref>{{cite|...But before seeking it, you must now bear witness to something...and never forget it. You must know that it was the will of the goddesses that we lock away the forbidden power...|Lanayru|TP}}</ref>

Upon completing the Lakebed Temple, Link is [[warping|warped]] to the Lanayru Spring and is immediately confronted by [[Zant]]. Although Lanayru tries to stop Zant, the Twili easily bests the Light Spirit, causing the spring to be covered in [[Twilight]] yet again and thus transforming Link into a wolf. Zant tries to persuade [[Midna]] to join his side, but after she refuses, he holds her up in front of Lanayru, who gravely injures Midna with its light. Immediately after this, Link and Midna are warped out of the spring and into [[Hyrule Field]].

In the [[Cave of Ordeals]], when Link reaches the 40th floor, the [[Great Fairy]] will reward the young hero by releasing recovery [[Fairy|fairies]] into the Lanayru Spring Spring.<ref>{{cite|In praise of your efforts thus far, I will release fairies to Faron Spring.|Great Fairy|Twilight Princess}}</ref> Reaching the last floor of the cave will allow Link to talk to the Great Fairy at the spring and receive unlimited [[Great Fairy's Tears]], provided that he doesn't already have a [[bottle]] full of them.<ref>{{cite|If ever you need my assistance again, visit any spring.|Great Fairy|Twilight Princess}}</ref>
