Small Shield

The Small Shield, also known simply as the Shield, is the basic Shield used by Link throughout most of.

Overview
The Small Shield is given to Link by Princess Zelda in Hyrule Town at the Picori Festival. Shortly after receiving it, he must use the Shield to protect Zelda from a dangerous Business Scrub north of Hyrule Town.

Like most basic Shields obtained throughout The Legend of Zelda series, the Small Shield can be swallowed by a Like Like. If this happens, Link can defeat the Like Like to retrieve the Small Shield, or buy a new one at the Hyrule Town Shop. The Small Shield can defend Link from the most basic of attacks, such as an Octorok's rocks and sword strikes from other enemies. After Link completes the main quest, Link can turn the Small Shield into the Mirror Shield by allowing Biggoron to nibble on it.
