'''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.

===Shield Surfing===
===Shield Surfing===
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. This provides an effective means of transportation when going downhill at the cost of Link's shield losing durability.

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. This provides an effective means of transportation when going downhill at the cost of Link's shield losing durability.
 
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.

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 (Ocarina of Time)|Bazaar]] for 80 rupees. However, this price is dropped to 60 if you have already given the soldier guarding [[Death Mountain]] Trail [[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).

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]].
