Link starts out with his first shield, which is unnamed. This can block simple projectiles such as arrows, spears, and rocks. However, it cannot stop magical attacks, like a [[Wizzrobe]] attack. Link is able to buy the [[Magical Shield]] from any [[Item Shop]] that sells it, assuming he has the rupees. This shield can block any projectile thrown at Link, however, it's quickly stolen by [[Like Like]]s, whereas the original Shield isn't. | Link starts out with his first shield, which is unnamed.

The second family of shields in ''Skyward Sword'' is the Iron family. The first shield is the [[Iron Shield]], which can be bought at the Gear Shop for 100 Rupees. It is great against fire, but is weak against electricity. It can be upgraded at the Scrap Shop into the [[Reinforced Shield]], a shield that has more endurance than that of the Iron Shield. This upgrade requires 2 [[Eldin Ore]], 2 [[Monster Claw]], and 2 [[Ornamental Skull]]. The upgrade costs 50 Rupees. The final shield in the Iron family is the [[Fortified Shield]], which has the best endurance of all three shields. It can be acquired by upgrading the Reinforced Shield at the Scrap Shop. The upgrade requires 3 [[Eldin Ore]], 3 [[Monster Claw]], 3 [[Tumbleweed]], and 1 [[Blue Bird Feather]]. The cost is 100 [[Rupee]]s. | |||

====Sacred==== | ====Sacred==== | ||
The Sacred shields found within ''Skyward Sword'' have some unique characteristics. First off, they can block against fire, electricity, and dark magic attacks. They can also repair themselves if they have taken damage. The first shield in this family is the [[Sacred Shield]]. This shield can be purchased at the [[Gear Shop]] for 500 Rupees. This shield has a very low endurance level, which is okay because of its self-repairing quality. It can be upgraded at the Scrap Shop into the [[Divine Shield]]. This upgrade requires 3 [[Ornamental Skull]], 2 [[Bird Feather]], and 1 [[Dusk Relic]]. It costs 100 rupees. This shield has more endurance, so anticipate it lasting a long time. The Divine Shield can be further upgraded into the [[Goddess Shield]] at the [[Scrap Shop]]. This upgrade requires 4 [[Dusk Relic]], 3 [[Bird Feather]], 3 [[Monster Horn]], and 1 [[Blue Bird Feather]]. This upgrade costs 150 Rupees. This shield has quite a lot of endurance, so anticipate it lasting an insane amount of time before breaking. | The Sacred shields found within ''Skyward Sword'' have some unique characteristics.

The final and arguably best shield found within Skyward Sword is the [[Hylian Shield]]. This shield will never take damage, meaning it will never break. It can be acquired through beating a certain number of [[Boss]]es in the [[Thunder Dragon's Lightning Round]]. | The final and arguably best shield found within Skyward Sword is the [[Hylian Shield]].
