Wooden Shields are shields that are made out of wood, and they are always the first shield Link obtains in whichever game.
The '''Wooden Shield''' is a recurring [[Shield]] in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They are typically the weakest shield and the first shield [[Link]] obtains.

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.
Wooden shields block all attacks and work just fine, except that since they are made of wood, fire burns them and leaves Link bereft of a shield. This is a special property that only wooden shields possess, since all metal shields dont 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.

===The Legend of Zelda===
The Wooden Shield is the shield [[Link]] starts with at the beginning of ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. It is able to block basic attacks such as arrows and rocks, but cannot defend against magical attacks, like a [[Wizzrobe]]'s beam. This shield cannot be eaten by [[Like Like]]s.


===Ocarina of Time===
===Ocarina of Time===
Now technically, it's called the [[Deku Shield]] in Ocarina of Time, but its the first shield that's made out of wood that appears in the Zelda series. You can buy it in multiple shops throughout the game, but only as a child. First time it's available is in the Kokiri Forest shop for 40 rupees. The shield is brown, and has a red swirled pattern, with an extra curlicue sticking out, like a second branch of the swirl.

While the Wooden Shield does not appear by name in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', a ''Wooden'' shield does appear, called the [[Deku Shield]]. 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 [[Rupee]]s. 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 rather small and you *ahem* ''borrow'' it from the Ordon villagers. Its a small plain brown shield, and has a Ordonian goat's head and horns patterned onto it. This is the ONLY time you can obtain this shield, if it's burnt, its lost forever. You can buy another wooden shield, this one much bigger (but doesn't block any better) and has a different patterned design on it resembling a bird. However this shield is generally considered worthless, due to the fact that it becomes available at the same time as the games last shield.

The design on the front resembles something like a bird and appears to be painted with white paint. This shield is generally considered a meaningless purchase due to the fact that it becomes available at the same time as the [[Hylian Shield]], a far stronger and more preferable shield.

Unlike previous games, your shield now has a durability meter. This means that after a certain number of hits, it will break. However, if you thrust your shield just as the attack is coming at you 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 you obtain in Skyward Sword. It's pathetically weak, and will break in just a few hits in its un-upgraded form. The Wooden Shield can be purchased for a very low price in the Skyloft Bazaar.

This shield is also obtainable by speaking with Instructor Owlan after Zelda falls out of the sky. Getting the Wooden Shield for free at the beginning makes Faron Woods much easier since Link does not have to save up rupees and purchase the shield himself.
