Seems like a worthwhile topic for a video, am I right? You can watch the video here or view…

Among the assortment of unique additions to the world of Zelda as we know it in Skyward Sword was the brand new shield meter. This meter determined how much oomph your shield exactly had left in it, making it necessary to either upgrade or repair every once in a while.
