How To Fix Scrapper The Robot – Zelda: Skyward Sword HD
You will have seen that the Windmill on the South of Skyloft is missing the Propeller you need to rotate it with the Gust Bellows. Apparently this Propeller fell below the clouds years ago, and we're going to need to return it – however it's heavy, so that's easier said than done. We'll need a friend to help, so we can fix the robot in Gondo's upgrade shop to give us a lift.
Inside the Bazaar, speak to Gondo and the robot behind his counter. It can be repaired, but it requires an Ancient Flower, which you can find in past sections of the Lanayru Desert. We have a guide to finding treasures right here.
Once Scrapper The Robot is repaired, he will fall in love with Fi, and will assist you in recovering things from below the clouds, which you will need to do several times over the course of the game, both for main quests and side quests.
Now that Scrapper The Robot is repaired, we can head below the clouds and recover the Windmill Propeller. Fi will give you the ability to using Dowsing to find the Propeller, but we'll make it even easier for you.
Finding The Missing Windmill Propeller – Zelda: Skyward Sword HD
In order to find the Missing Windmill Propeller, head straight to Eldin Volcano and land at the Temple Entrance. You'll remember completing the five key pieces quest here earlier, and you may also remember knocking down a watchtower in order to dig for a key underneath it – that's exactly where we need to go.
When facing the door to the Earth Temple, head to your right. Move left here to the sandy path leading down the hill to the watchtower, and run straight down. You'll find the Windmill Propeller just to the right of the fallen watchtower.
Once you approach it, Fi will ask if she should call Scrapper The Robot down. Do so, and then return to the sky using the Bird Statue outside the Earth Temple. Fly directly to Skyloft, and as you approach a cutscene should play showing you touching down, and Scrapper putting the Propeller next to the Windmill. Nice and easy.
