The '''Lanayru Province''' is a province of [[Hyrule]] that was first established in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. Unlike the other provinces, however, the Lanayru Province has been shown containing different areas in both appearances, although this could be explained by borders changing over time. | The '''Lanayru Province''' is a province of [[Hyrule]] that was first established in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''.

It once was a green paradise until climate forces changed it over the years. The area contained several mines of timeshift stones. When activated, a timseshift stone would restore the area surrounding it to its former pristine glory. The effect was temporary, in a sense of the word, as only one timeshift stone could be active at a time. The desert was filled with unique [[LD-301 Robot|robots]] that the [[Three Dragons#Lanayru|Thunder Dragon Lanayru]] had made. The robots were inert in the present, but they were reactivated when in timeshift fields. They did most of the mining and operated machinery. The central area of the desert contained the Lanaryu Mining Facility, which was hidden underground until all of the nearby power nodes were activated. |

It was connected to the Lanayru Mining Facility through an underground passage which [[Link]] was forced to utilize when the Temple's entrance was blocked by rubble. [[Zelda]] and [[Impa]] passed through the Gate and destroyed it behind them during the game's events. There were several areas aside from the desert, and the Lanayru Caves acted as a hub between most areas: the Lanayru Mine, Lanayru Gorge and Lanayru Sand Sea. The Lanayru Gorge was the site of the first timeshift mine, and it is also where the Thunder Dragon Lanayru presided over the province. Lanayru at one point died from an illness. His robots tried to save him by planting a [[Tree of Life]], but it could not prosper even during Lanayru's prosperity because even though the land was fertile, it was better for grass than trees. The Tree of Life had to be transplanted to [[Faron Province|Faron]] in order to grow. |
Uniquely, the Lanayru Sand Sea was part of an ocean that had dried up over the years and become sinksand. Activating a timeshift stone within a boat was the key to navigating the area, as the boat would always be surrounded by water within the timeshift field. The sea had several unique areas, such as a pirate fortress and a Shipyard where a series of mine carts were maintained by a lone [[Goron]]. It was in this sea that the [[Skipper]] kept [[Sacred Flame|Nayru's Flame]] safe within the [[Sandship]]. Link had to alternate between the present and past through timeshift stones to reclaim the Sandship (and the Flame) once it had been stolen from Skipper. | Uniquely, the Lanayru Sand Sea was part of an ocean that had dried up over the years and become sinksand.

It should be noted that within this game, the Gerudo Desert was just outside the boundary of Lanayru Province, to the northwest of Lake Hylia. As the desert was not counted as part of Hyrule, the most convenient explanation for the difference between the two versions of the province would be assuming that the boundaries changes over time. | It should be noted that within this game, the Gerudo Desert was just outside the boundary of Lanayru Province, to the northwest of Lake Hylia.
