In Skyward Sword, Link's shields come in three main lines - which will break with prolonged use, and which each have advantages and disadvantages - plus the Hylian Shield which becomes available in the latter part of the game. Most shields can be bought and upgraded at the Bazaar, except for the Hylian Shield, which is awarded to Link by Lanayru.
It is primarily operated by the player with motions of the Wii nunchuk. Link can use his shield to deflect certain items back at enemies by players moving the nunchuck in a forward, thrusting motion, an example being reflecting rocks back at Octoroks when they shoot towards him. It can quickly be held in defense following a sword combo. Motion control of the Shield is quite limited compared to the Wii Remote Plus-controlled sword, but it still plays a vital role in combat.
