==Properties==
Wooden Shields can block most attacks, but are highly susceptible to fire and leaves Link bereft of a shield. This is a weakness that only wooden shields possess, since all metal shields do not have a weakness that causes them to break. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', they offer resistance to electricity to make up for their weakness to fire.

Unlike previous games, Link's shield now has a durability meter. This means that after a certain number of hits it will break. However, if Link thrusts his shield just as the attack is coming at him, the shield will not take damage. As incentive for using this shield later in the game, it insulates Link from electricity-based attacks. This is the first shield obtainable in ''Skyward Sword''. It is pathetically weak, and will break in just a few hits in its non-upgraded form.

Wooden Shields can block most attacks, but are highly susceptible to fire and leaves Link bereft of a shield. This is a weakness that only wooden shields possess, since all metal shields do not have a weakness that causes them to break. In Skyward Sword, they offer resistance to electricity to make up for their weakness to fire.

The Legend of Zelda

Ocarina of Time

Main article: Deku Shield
Deku Shield from Ocarina of Time

It is the first shield Link obtains in Ocarina of Time and can only be used while Link is a child. The shield can be purchased at the Kokiri Shop in Kokiri Forest for 40 Rupees. This shield will burn if it comes into contact with fire, but a replacement can be purchased at any time. The shield appears to be made from a piece of thick tree bark, the front of the shield is carved with a symbol representing the Kokiri's Emerald and is painted red.

This shield is larger than the Ordon Shield, but comes with the same weakness to fire. This shield can be purchased again if it is burnt.

Skyward Sword
