The Lanayru Province is the third province visited during [[Link]]'s journey. The young hero must first unfreeze Zora's Domain to return the water flow to Zora's River and thus refill Lake Hylia. Having done so, Link then visits the [[Spirit Spring]] to collect the sixteen [[Tears of Light]] in order to return light to the province. Later on in the game, after Link takes the dying [[Prince Ralis]] to [[Kakariko Village]] and receives the [[Zora Armor]] from [[Queen Rutela]], he must dive to the bottom of Lake Hylia and enter the Lakebed Temple, obtaining the third and last [[Fused Shadow]] upon the defeat of [[Morpheel]].
In {{ALTTP}}, the '''House of Books''' is located south of [[Kakariko Village]]. The [[Book of Mudora]] can be found on the top of a bookshelf, and can be knocked down by running into it with [[Pegasus Boots]].

{{Theory|start}}
 
Some fans theorize that the library from ''A Link to the Past'' was formerly [[Impa's House]] from {{OOT}}. This theory stems from the fact that both locations are found in [[Kakariko Village]] and have many books inside. This connection is further supported by the fact in {{OOT3D}}, there are many more books and bookshelves, and on a table there is a green book with the Sheikah [[Eye Symbol]] on the cover, which bears a resemblance to the [[Book of Mudora]].

The Lanayru Province is part of the province system in Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, one of several provinces that make up the kingdom of Hyrule. The province is named after its original protector from the Era of the Goddess Hylia, the great Lightning Dragon known as Lanayru.[1] It is later protected by the Light Spirit of the same name in the Era of Twilight and houses the capital of Hyrule as well as the castle.[2]

Twilight Princess

History

The Lanayru Province is the third province visited during Link's journey. The young hero must first unfreeze Zora's Domain to return the water flow to Zora's River and thus refill Lake Hylia. Having done so, Link then visits the Spirit Spring to collect the sixteen Tears of Light in order to return light to the province. Later on in the game, after Link takes the dying Prince Ralis to Kakariko Village and receives the Zora Armor from Queen Rutela, he must dive to the bottom of Lake Hylia and enter the Lakebed Temple, obtaining the third and last Fused Shadow upon the defeat of Morpheel.

Geography and Notable Locations

The Lanayru Province is located to the north of the Faron Province, east of the Desert Province, southeast of the Peak Provnce and west of the Eldin Provnce. It is situated at the furthest northern part of Hyrule and takes up a large majority of the kingdom, housing the capital at the center.

History

In the Era of the Goddess Hylia and the Sky Era, the Lanayru Province is protected by a great Thunder Dragon, Lanayru, who was ordered to protect the province by the goddess herself.[3] It is the home of an ancient race of advanced robots whose origins are unknown. Over the course of several hundred years, it was stripped bare of its natural greenery, beauty, resources, and even all good life due to a rapid change in the area's climate, transforming most of the province into a barren desert that would come to be known as the Lanayru Desert.[4][5] In the present, its former protector Lanayru has disappeared from the deserted province and the Ancient Robots have long since died out, their remains scattered everywhere. All of its once formerly functioning buildings have fallen into disuse, many filling with sand and monsters, and all use of technology and electricity has completely declined. The region has since become home to an array of hostile creatures that thrive in its harsh conditions. The only thing still active from its once prosperous era of advancement are the many Timeshift Stones scattered throughout the province, which allow one to see a limited section of the land in its former lush and green days. The western section of the province once lead into an ocean, but that too fell victim to severe climate change and became the Lanayru Sand Sea.

Link visits the province several times during his journey between the above world of Skyloft and the surface world, but he remains restricted to the Lanayru Desert and Lanayru Mine areas.

Geography and Notable Locations

The Lanayru Province is located to the west of the Faron Province and southwest of the Eldin Province. It is home to two major dungeons and a mini-dungeon.

Trivia

  • Like the goddess Nayru, the Lanayru Province is associated with both water and time.
