===Ocarina of Time===
===Ocarina of Time===
The Mirror Shield is found in the adult portion of the [[Spirit Temple]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. It is the final shield that Link obtains in the game. It is located in a [[Treasure Chest]] that can be reached after defeating an [[Iron Knuckle]], a [[Mini-Boss]] of the [[dungeon]]. In this game, it is used to reflect light onto sun symbols and walls to solve various light puzzles. It is also crucial to defeating [[Twinrova]], because the Mirror Shield can reflect their magic attacks back at them.

Unlike the [[Hylian Shield]], it cannot be consumed by a [[Like Like]] (due to that fact that there is only one found in the game, and cannot be purchased in any store) and it will destroy certain projectiles instead of reflecting them.

===Majora's Mask===
===Majora's Mask===
The Mirror Shield is also in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. Unlike other incarnations, it has a peculiar design of a face upon it, and this can be seen even in its light reflections. It is can be obtained after trading with the [[Gibdo]]s under the well in [[Ikana Canyon]]. Like the Mirror Shield in ''Ocarina of Time'', it can reflect light. This time, large blocks possessing the same sun symbol will appear and can only be destroyed with a beam of light from this shield. It is required to enter the [[Ancient Castle of Ikana]] as well as solve some light puzzles in there and [[Stone Tower Temple]].

Interestingly, when using the Mirror Shield to reflect light in the [[The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition|Collector's Edition]] version of the game, the emitted beam of light shows greenish and black stripes every second or so. This may be due to the fact that the game itself is being emulated on the GameCube, and therefore causes a graphical error.

===The Minish Cap===
===The Minish Cap===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', the Mirror Shield can only be obtained after killing [[Vaati]] in [[Dark Hyrule Castle]]. In addition, the [[Goron Sidequest]] must have been completed and a succesful [[Kinstone Fusion]] with the [[Goron]] on the far right. This will make [[Biggoron]] appear at the summit of [[Veil Falls]]. Next give [[Biggoron]] a [[Small Shield]] and he will start chewing it. After about 20 minutes of not having a [[shield]], return to [[Veil Falls]] and [[Biggoron]] will give Link the Mirror Shield.

The Mirror Shield in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'' can reflect projectiles shot at Link right back at the enemy with a light beam. For example, if an [[Octorok]] spat a rock at Link while he is defending, it will automatically shoot the rock back at the enemy.
