Lanayru Shipyard is a location in Skyward Sword.[1] It is located in the Lanayru Sand Sea.
Features
The Lanayru Shipyard was once a sea town inhabited by the workers who built the ships inside the construction bay.[2] Link and Skipper visit the Shipyard after Skipper's Retreat in their search for Skipper's lost ship, which was among those constructed there.[3] Each of the areas on the island are connected to each other via a complex series of mine-cart tracks.[4] The door leading to the construction bay where Skipper thinks his clues leading to his ship may be is closed,[5] forcing Link to ride mine-carts on the tracks around the Shipyard to access the back door.[6]
When Link arrives in the construction bay, he uses his Gust Bellows to search the massive sand deposit.[7] Rather than find clues pertaining to the location of the ship, he mistakenly awakens a buried Moldarach, which had moved in and built a nest in the many years that the factory went unused.[8]
After returning to Skipper through the door that was previously locked, they sail on towards the Pirate Stronghold.
Rickety Coaster
The Rickety Coaster is a mine-cart mini-game run by the Goron named Gortram on the tracks sprawling around the construction bay. The mini-game comes in two difficulties: "Scary" and "Heart Stopping!". If he completes the "Heart Stopping!" track in less than the time of 1.05.00, Link will be rewarded with a Piece of Heart. The mini-game is operable after the Sandship is returned to Skipper.
