Starting in [[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]], any shield could be used as a makeshift sled to slide down mountains or slopes.

Shield-surfing is also featured in ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]'' as a movement skill and as an attack combo. Shield durability is not a factor in said game. | |||

This can block most enemies and their projectiles, push most enemies (including, very importantly, [[Sea Urchin]]s so that Link can retrieve his [[Sword]]) and flip over [[Spiked Beetle]]s enabling them to be defeated easily. [[Like Like]]s can steal this shield, and replacement shields are available from the [[Town Tool Shop]] or [[Trendy Game]]. | ||
In the [[Eagle's Tower]], Link finds the Level 2 shield ([[Mirror Shield]]), which can deflect a wider range of attacks including beams and the flames from the [[Flame Fountain]], and cannot be stolen by [[Like Like]]s. | |||

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). | ||

''Skyward Sword'' features an expansive collection of shields. There are ten different shields which can be acquired throughout the game. These shields are separated by four categories: Wood, Iron, Sacred, and Hylian. | |||

The first is the [[Wooden Shield]], which can be acquired two different ways. Link can either get it from [[Instructor Owlan]], or from the [[Gear Shop]] in the [[Bazaar]]. The only difference is that Instructor Owlan gives it to Link for free, where [[Rupin]], owner of the Gear Shop, will sell it to Link for 50 [[Rupee]]s. The next shield in the wood family is the [[Banded Shield]]. It can be acquired by [[Skyward Sword Upgrades|upgrading]] the Wooden Shield at the [[Scrap Shop]]. This upgrade requires 2 [[Amber Relic]], 1 [[Monster Claw]], and 1 [[Jelly Blob]]. The cost is 30 Rupees. The final and best shield in the wood family is the [[Braced Shield]]. It can be acquired by upgrading the Banded Shield at the Scrap Shop. This upgrade requires 3 [[Amber Relic]], 2 [[Monster Claw]], 2 [[Tumbleweed]], and 1 [[Ornamental Skull]]. The cost is 50 Rupees. | ||
====Iron==== | ====Iron==== | ||
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. | The second family of shields in ''Skyward Sword'' is the Iron Shield family.

The [[Hylian Shield]] is a powerful and strong shield that can deflect magical projectiles as well as physical attacks. Just like a regular shield it can be used with the R button.

===Cadence of Hyrule=== | |||
[[File:Coh-small-shield.png|72px|left]] | |||
The Shield is an item that only [[Link]], [[Shadow Link]], and [[Cadence]] can use. The Shield will protect the player against most concussive attacks, but is ineffective against magic. It can also reflect [[Deku Nut]]s and rocks back at the attacker with less difficulty than [[Nayru's Love]], making it preferable for new players. After getting the shield, the player can find the [[Tower Shield]] while exploring, which blocks wind when used. | |||
Once the player gets the [[Shield Technique]], Link and Cadence can attack while defending, at the cost of [[Stamina (Cadence of Hyrule)|Stamina]]. | |||
