The LD-301 Series is a general name for all the [[Ancient Robot]]s found in the [[Lanayru Province]] of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. They are the main race in that province.

{{Fi}} The LD-301 robots are creatures "from the past" that only come back to life when a [[Timeshift Stone]] is activated. "In the present", i.e. with no Timeshift stone affecting the area, they are discolored and broken, lying on one side. Talking to them will produce a "broken beep" sound effect, and all they say is "..."<ref>{{Cite|SS|5883|LD-301 in [[Lanayru Mine]]}}</ref>. However, in the past, they come back to life. Most are occupied with maintenance or mining. In the latter case, they have large hand extensions attached to improve digging. Most comment on Link being a human, or tell him not to disturb them while they work<ref>{{Cite|SS|5882|LD-301 located in [[Lanayru Mine]]}}</ref>, or give information about recent happenings/nearby objects related to them. Link first encounter them as soon as he lands in [[Lanayru Mine]], however only in their broken form. Since there aren't any timeshift Stones near, these are never revived.

Once Link revives the [[Thunder Dragon]] with the Timeshift Shard on the cart, he find out the dragon is ill and can't sing his part of the [[Song of the Hero]] to him. The robots have planted a [[Life Tree Seedling]] but are worried it will take too long to grow, commenting on the desert climate, although in the past it was not yet a desert. Link must then unearth the seedling and take it to the [[Sealed Temple]] through the [[Gate of Time]] to plant it, and then retrieve the [[Life Tree Fruit]] in his own time. (See [[Song of the Hero#Lanayru|main article about this part]]). Although no LD-301s are directly involved in this quest, e.g. by having a speech bubble over their head or modifying your items, their speech can be helpful, and shows they are interested and involved in Link's actions. This is only logical, since the "Master Thunder Dragon" is their creator and protector.
