Power Generator

In Skyward Sword, the Power Generator is the source of energy for the mechanism that opens the entrance to the Lanayru Mining Facility. It is only functional when put in its past state using a Timeshift Stone.

Location and Uses
The main power generator is located in the northern portion of the Lanayru Desert. As stated by an Ancient Robot, the generator will not work until the nearby power nodes are activated. Once these nodes are turned on, the three dials on the generator will have to be set correctly, and only then will the mining facility reveal itself from beneath the desert.

The three power nodes are scattered around the north desert. Like the power generator, the nodes are only usable in the past time. To activate a power node, Link has to stab the Goddess Sword inside and turn it to the left, then push in the node. The Water Power Node is located in the western side of the north desert, although it is hidden by a bombable wall. The Thunder Power Node is hidden inside a cave found in the north, although it is also sealed by a bombable wall. The third node, the Fire Power Node, is in a building to the southeast, by the Stone Cache. With all three nodes activated, Link must return to the power generator and set the three dials according to the locations of the power nodes. If all three dials are set correctly, the Lanayru Mining Facility will surge from beneath the desert.
