The Deku Shield is a shield from Ocarina of Time. It is the first and default shield of Young Link, and can only be used by him.

Ocarina of Time

A Deku Shield is a piece of tough wood, with the symbol of the Kokiri painted onto it in red. Link can purchase a Deku Shield from the Kokiri Shop for 40 Rupees, or from Business Scrubs for 50 Rupees. It can also be found in several Treasure Chests across Hyrule, including one in Dodongo's Cavern.
