A Link to the Past
In A Link to the Past, the Mirror Shield is the dungeon item of the Spirit Temple, alongside the Silver Gauntlets. It is located in a Treasure Chest in the adult era section, where Link must defeat an Iron Knuckle to reach the ledge with the Chest. The Mirror Shield's design is drastically altered in this game; It features a diamond shape with a red border, and the surface of the shield is indented with an ornate pattern.
The Mirror Shield replaces the Hylian Shield once obtained. It destroys projectiles shot by Octoroks, Deku Scrubs, and Business Scrubs instead of reflecting them, and can somewhat reflect one of the magic attacks used by Ganondorf.The Mirror Shield's polished surface also enables it to reflect light; This is required to solve certain puzzles, by
The Minish Cap
In The Minish Cap, the Mirror Shield is a post-game item. After Vaati is defeated, if Link has completed the Goron Quest and performed a successful Kinstone Fusion with the Goron on the far right, Biggoron will appear at the top of Veil Falls. If Link lets him eat the Small Shield, he can come back after around 20 minutes to receive the Mirror Shield. It uses the design from The Wind Waker, but the frame is a lighter shade of blue, and the design features two gold marks on the side.
The Mirror Shield will automatically reflect any projectiles it blocks.
Tears of the Kingdom
In Tears of the Kingdom, Link can create a Mirror Shield by fusing a Mirror onto a shield. It functions as the Mirror itself, being able to reflect sunlight or other sources of bright light when Link holds it out, and has no magical properties. Reflected light can be used to activate certain Switches, or can be pointed at minor enemies to stun and disarm them.

Hyrule Warriors
In Hyrule Warriors, the Wind Waker Mirror Shield is wielded alongside the Lokomo Sword, as the Level 3 variation of the Light Sword weapon class.
The Majora's Mask Mirror Shield also appears as a type of Badge. Purchasing it will increases the warrior's defence in stages where the recommended element is 
Darkness.
Trivia
- The Mirror Shield is likely a direct reference to the item of the same name from Kid Icarus, which Pit used to defend himself from Medusa's eye beams. Similarly, the Mirror Shield is first used to defend against Laser Eyes.
- In both series, the Mirror Shield is a reference to the Greek myth of Perseus, who used a shield to reflect Medusa's gaze.
- In Ocarina of Time, the Mirror Shield originally featured the real-life star and crescent symbol on it. In later releases and Ocarina of Time 3D, the design was altered to feature the Gerudo crest instead.
- The face seen on the Majora's Mask Mirror Shield can be seen as one of the Masks carried by the Happy Mask Salesman.
- In the Collector's Edition of Majora's Mask, the Mirror Shield causes a graphical error due to incorrect emulation; When reflecting light, a green-and-black stripe will slowly slide across the beam of light every few seconds.
- The Japanese version of Majora's Mask contains an alternate Mirror Shield in the game's programming. It has a finished select icon and resembles the revised Mirror Shield from Ocarina of Time, but will crash the game if it is used.
- In The Wind Waker, the Mirror Shield disappears from Link's back during the final cutscene, but reappears in the post-credits scene.
- In The Minish Cap, unused text implies that the Mirror Shield was originally going to be sold, alongside the Magic Boomerang and Fire Rod, for 350 Rupees.
