Link can purchase the [[Deku Shield]] as soon as he manages to get 40 rupees at the Kokiri's shop. It's a wooden shield though, and has all the properties of wood. Later, Link can find the [[Hylian Shield]] in one of the graves in the [[Kakariko Village Graveyard]] for free, or pay 80 rupees to buy it at the [[Castle Town]] [[Bazaar]]. Both can be stolen by Like Likes. Once Link reaches the Spirit Temple, he can find the [[Mirror Shield]] as an adult. This shield cannot be stolen by [[Like Like]]s, and it can reflect beams of intensely bright light.
There are 3 different shields present in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', and they are the [[Deku Shield]], the [[Hylian Shield]], and the [[Mirror Shield]].
 
====Deku Shield====
{{Main|Deku Shield}}
Link can purchase the [[Deku Shield]] as soon as he manages to get 40 rupees at the Kokiri's shop. It's a wooden shield though, and has all the properties of wood, meaning it will burn if touched by fire. Link can only equip it as a child, and it is the first shield acquired in the game. It can be used to deflect enemy attacks (Such as [[Deku Scrubs]] and [[Octoroks]]. It can be stolen by [[Like Like]]s, which means you will have to go back to [[Kokiri Forest]] and purchase another one.
 
====Hylian Shield====
{{Main|Hylian Shield}}
The [[Hylian Shield]] can either be found in one of the graves in the [[Kakariko Village Graveyard]] for free, or purchased at the [[Castle Town]] [[Bazaar]] for 80 rupees. However, this price is dropped to 60 if you have already given the soldier guarding [[Death Mountain]] Trail [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]'s Letter. It can also be used to deflect enemy attacks, and will not burn if touched by fire. It can be worn by Adult or Child Link, though it is too big for kid Link, in which case he can only carry it on his back to defend from above. It can be stolen from Like Likes as well, so you will have to buy it at the Bazaar (or get the one in the graveyard if you haven't already).
 
====Mirror Shield====
{{Main|Mirror Shield}}
The [[Mirror Shield]] is acquired in the [[Spirit Temple]] as the second dungeon item. It is acquired, and can only be used as an adult. It has the special property of deflecting light from the mirror on the front (Hence why it's called the "Mirror Shield"). It cannot deflect back projectiles, as they will just break when hitting it. Since there is only one in the game, this shield cannot be stolen by [[Like Like]]s.

You start the game with the [[Hero's Shield]], which is incredibly similar in appearance to the [[Hylian Shield]]. You can find the Mirror Shield much later on, at the end of the [[Well]] in [[Ikana Canyon]].

This shield can deflect beams of light, which is incredibly useful in all kinds of cases, including killing [[ReDead]]s.

Link gets the [[Hero's Shield]] from his [[Grandma]] after [[Aryll]] is kidnapped. Once Link reaches the [[Earth Temple (The Wind Waker)|Earth Temple]] he will find the [[Mirror Shield]].
There are 2 different shields Link will acquire on his quest in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', the Hero's Shield, and the Mirror Shield.
 
====Hero's Shield====
{{Main|Hero's Shield}}
Link gets the [[Hero's Shield]] from his [[Grandma]] after [[Aryll]] is kidnapped. It normally hangs on the wall upstairs as decoration, but after realizing he'll need it, she will give it to him gladly to help him on his quest to save his sister. It can be used to block enemy attacks, and even deflect projectiles, such as [[Octorok]] rocks, back at the enemy. If it is used against an enemy holding a weapon, and it hits the shield enough, it will fly out of the enemy's grasp, allowing Link to use it himself!
 
====Mirror Shield====
{{Main|Mirror Shield}}
The [[Mirror Shield]] is acquired in the depths of the [[Earth Temple (The Wind Waker)|Earth Temple]] after defeating three [[Stalfos]]. It has a mirror on the front side, which is used to reflect beams of light at different objects, which will sometimes crumble them. The light can also be used to stun certain enemies (such as [[ReDead]]s). It is the last shield acquired in the game.

===Twilight Princess===
Link can find the [[Ordon Shield]] in the loft of the house with the waterwheel in [[Ordon Village]] when he returns as a wolf. Link can also buy Wooden Shields at various shops, these shields are larger and have a different design, but function exactly the same as the Ordon Shield. Link can buy the [[Hylian Shield]] from the [[Malo Mart]] in [[Kakariko Village]] for 200 [[Rupee]]s.
There are 3 shields found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', although two of them share the exact same properties.
 
====Ordon Shield====
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.
 
====Wooden Shield====
{{Main|Wooden Shield}}
The Wooden Shield is the second obtainable shield in the game, but it shares all the same properties of the Ordon Shield, the only differences being the size and design.<br>This shield can be purchased at [[Malo Mart]] after clearing the [[Eldin]] Province of Twilight.
 
====Hylian Shield====
{{Main|Hylian Shield}}
The Hylian Shield makes a return in Twilight Princess, although the design is slightly different than it was in Ocarina of Time. It is a very durable shield made of metal, so it will not burn if touched by fire. Link can buy the [[Hylian Shield]] from the [[Malo Mart]] in [[Kakariko Village]] for 200 [[Rupee]]s.
