Wooden Shield: Difference between revisions

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. The Wooden Shield can be purchased for a very low price in [[Skyloft]]'s [[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.

An upgraded form of the Wooden Shield with a higher durability, this shield requires 2 [[Amber Relic]]s, 1 [[Monster Claw]], 1 [[Jelly Blob]] and 30 rupees to upgrade. Much more durable than the Wooden Shield, but still very weak. Burns from fire.
