'''Shields''' have been with Link for as long as his [[Sword]]s have and been about as important. Protecting him from all sorts of otherwise fatal damage. | '''Shields''' have been with Link for as long as his [[Sword]]s have and been about as important.

These shields are usually only acquirable once per game, and rarely, if ever, through a shop. These shields have magical or unique properties. These shields will block almost anything, including fire, electrical, and magic attacks. They can also block against rocks from an [[Octorok]] or a [[River Zora]]. They cannot be stolen by [[Like Like]]s. These shields are the best of the entire Zelda series. | These shields are usually only acquirable once per game, and rarely, if ever, through a shop.

Link can learn a magic spell that reduces all damage he takes, called the [[Shield Spell]]. He can also learn the [[Reflect Spell]] that enables his shield to reflect certain enemies' magic attacks back at them. | Link can learn a magic spell that reduces all damage he takes, called the [[Shield Spell]].

The [[Ordon Shield]] was not originally supposed to go to the ownership of [[Link]], as it was part of the gift that was to be delivered to [[Hyrule]]. However, when Link returned to [[Ordon Village]] as a wolf, he snuck into [[Malo]] and [[Talo]]'s house where the shield was located. Once the [[Twilight]] is gone, Link can use the shield for the first time by simply holding the target button (L/Z).<br>Being the first shield in the game, the Ordon Shield is very basic. It can block some enemy attacks, but since it is made of wood, it will burn up if touched by fire, in which case you will have to buy a Wooden Shield later on. | The [[Ordon Shield]] was not originally supposed to go to the ownership of [[Link]], as it was part of the gift that was to be delivered to [[Hyrule]].

Link can buy the [[Wooden Shield]] at many different shops throughout [[New Hyrule]], but the first shop is the one in [[Castle Town]]. If Link is able to collect 10 stamps, [[Niko]] will reward Link with the [[Shield of Antiquity]], which cannot be stolen by [[Like Like]]s. It is the best shield found within the game. <br> | Link can buy the [[Wooden Shield]] at many different shops throughout [[New Hyrule]], but the first shop is the one in [[Castle Town]].

The Shield of Antiquity looks very similar to the shield Link used at the beginning of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''. | The Shield of Antiquity looks very similar to the shield Link used at the beginning of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''. | ||
