Lanayru (Dragon)

Lanayru is one of the three guardian deities of The Surface in the Zelda series. Lanayru is mainly featured in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword as the game takes place in the period where the Dragons are tasked with protecting the land in the absence of Goddess Hylia. As his name suggest, Lanayru watches over the Lanayru Province.

History
Lanayru was tasked with watching over the Lanayru Province by the Goddess Hylia a long time before the events of Skyward Sword and was asked to teach one of the four parts of the "Song of the Hero" once said hero would appear in the distant future. When Link first encounters Lanayru, he has long since passed away from illness, and only his skeleton remains. Link then uses the small key found near the corpse to bring a Timeshift Stone to the vicinity of Lanayru. He tells Link that the Ancient Robots planted a Life Tree seedling in hope of saving the dragon but that the tree cannot grow properly in the desert. Link must take the seedling and use the Gate of Time to plant the tree in the soil of the Faron of the past.

With the fruit Link is able to heal the Dragon and learn his part of the song. Afterward, Lanayru is still alive in the present but has left the spot in which he was found in the past and can only be talked to by using the Timeshift Stone. The Lanayru of the present can however be seen when performing the full "Song of the Hero" with Eldin, Faron and Levias.

By using the Timeshift Stone to talk to Lanayru after saving him, Link can access a mini game called the Lightning Round where Link can fight multiple bosses from earlier in the game in a row for various prizes. Lanayru also offer Link the opportunity to redo the Silent Realms he has completed.

Lightning Round
Link can take on bosses in up to twelve consecutive battles. Initially, only the bosses that have been encountered are available. In Hero Mode however, all twelve bosses, including Demise, can be fought at once. The first boss that is fought can be chosen while all subsequent bosses are in random order.
