Link | Link receives the [[Fighter's Shield]] fairly early on in the game from his uncle. He gets it at the same time as the [[Fighter's Sword]]. The Fighter's Shield can be upgraded early on into the [[Fire Shield]]. This upgrade can be done two different ways. Link can buy the Fire Shield at a shop for a nice little sum, or he can drop his old shield in the [[Great Fairy]]'s pond that is near the [[Waterfall of Wishing]], and exchange it there for free. This shield can block fireballs as well as all the stuff the Fighter's Shield can block. Both of these shields can be eaten by [[Like Like]]s. The final shield in the game, the [[Mirror Shield]], can be found in [[Turtle Rock]], and is larger and blocks more attacks than the previous two shields. The Mirror Shield can't be eaten by Like Likes, and it can reflect [[Beamos]] lasers. | ||

You obtain the [[Small Shield]] and can obtain the [[Mirror Shield]] only once Link has already completed his quest once. You have to fuse [[Kinstone]]s with a certain [[Goron]] (this causes [[Biggoron]] to appear) then you have to feed [[Biggoron]] Links Small Shield. He will later give you the [[Mirror Shield]]. This one works the same way as the Small Shield, only difference being that if a projectile hits it, the shield will fire off a retaliatory beam. | You obtain the [[Small Shield]] and can obtain the [[Mirror Shield]] only once Link has already completed his quest once.

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. | The Hylian Shield makes a return in ''Twilight Princess'', although the design is slightly different than it was in ''Ocarina of Time''.
