In {{TLoZ}}, {{Term|TLoZ|Link}} begins his adventure already equipped with a {{Term|TLoZ|Shield}}. The {{Term|TLoZ|Shield}} can be used to block non-magical projectiles if {{Term|TLoZ|Link}} is facing them and not attacking. It can be replaced by the {{Term|TLoZ|Magical Shield|link}}, which can be bought from certain {{Plural|TLoZ|Merchant|link}} found throughout {{Term|TLoZ|Hyrule|link}} for 90-160 {{Plural|TLoZ|Rupee|link}}. If {{Term|TLoZ|Link}} loses the {{Term|TLoZ|Magical Shield}} to a {{Term|TLoZ|Like Like|link}}, he will again equip his original {{Term|TLoZ|Shield}}. The {{Term|TLoZ|Shield}} cannot be eaten by {{Plural|TLoZ|Like Like}}.

In {{TAoL}}, {{Term|TAoL|Link|link}} starts with the {{Term|TAoL|Magical Shield|link}} and does not receive any other {{Plural|TAoL|Shield}} throughout the game. While holding down, the {{Term|TAoL|Magical Shield}} covers the bottom half of {{Term|TAoL|Link}}'s body. By default, the {{Term|TAoL|Magical Shield}} covers the top half of {{Term|TAoL|Link}}'s body. The {{Term|Series|Reflect Spell|link}} can temporarily increase the power of the {{Term|TAoL|Magical Shield}}.

==={{OoT|-}}===
There are three types of {{Plural|OoT3D|Shield}} in {{OoT}}. {{Plural|OoT3D|Shield}} can be freely equipped in the Equipment menu.
{{Term|OoT3D|Link|link}} can hold a {{Term|OoT3D|Shield}} in front of him using the R button. While {{Term|OoT3D|L-Targeting|link}}, {{Term|OoT3D|Link|link}} is able to hold a {{Term|OoT3D|Shield}} while moving. Attacking while brandishing a {{Term|OoT3D|Shield}} will cause {{Term|OoT3D|Link}} to perform a crouch stab. During the {{Term|OoT3D|Child Era|link}}, {{Term|OoT3D|Link|link}} cannot properly use the {{Term|OoT3D|Hylian Shield|link}} due to its weight. As a result, using the R button will result in him ducking under the {{Term|OoT3D|Hylian Shield}} instead of holding it in front of him.

{{MM}} adopts the shielding system from {{OoT}} with a few differences. Only two {{Plural|MM3D|Shield}} can be found, though each {{Term|MM3D|Mask|link}} transformation allows {{Term|MM3D|Link}} to defend himself. {{Term|MM3D|Link|link}} cannot freely switch between {{Plural|MM3D|Shield}}.

Only one {{Term|PH|Shield}} is available in {{PH}}: the {{Term|PH|Wooden Shield|link}}. The {{Term|PH|Wooden Shield}} resembles the {{Term|TWWHD|Hero's Shield|link}} from {{TWW}} in shape and color, though it features a different design on the front, replacing the winged creature with a lobster. The {{Term|PH|Wooden Shield}} can be purchased from many {{Plural|PH|Shop|link}}, including {{Term|PH|Mercay Island|link}}, for 50 {{Plural|PH|Rupee}}. The {{Term|PH|Wooden Shield}} can be eaten by {{Plural|PH|Like Like|link}}.

Line 63: Line 133:
The damage dealt to a shield by an enemy attack or other damage source is proportional to the damage it would do to Link. Therefore, if a given attack does twice as much damage to Link as another attack does, it will also damage his shield twice as much. However, this does not apply to the increased damage attacks deal to Link in [[Hero Mode]]; shields take the same amount of damage from a given attack in Hero Mode that they do in regular gameplay. The number in the "strength" column in the table below indicates the number of hits required to break that shield provided the hits would each deal one heart of damage to Link in regular gameplay or two hearts in Hero Mode. (In the case of the Sacred Shield and its upgrades, the total number of hits does not take into account recovery of shield integrity over time.)

{{BotW}} features several different pieces of equipment to use as protection. The diverse range of {{Plural|BotW|Shield}} available allows [[Link]] to deviate from the standard [[Sword]] and Shield dynamic. Many of these Shields follow a series of archetypes, such as "Boko," "Soldier's," and "Traveler's." Initially, Link can carry up to four Shields at a time in his inventory; however, he can obtain additional slots by giving [[Korok Seed]]s to [[Hestu]]. Hestu will upgrade Link's slots up to a full page, or 20 slots, of Shields. If Link takes another Shield while his inventory is full, he will drop the Shield or put it back if it came from a [[Treasure Chest]]. You can also obtain Shields from [[Selmie]]; however, she will turn you away if your inventory is full. Each Shield, including duplicates, occupies its own slot in the inventory.

Each hit a Shield receives while {{Term|BotW|Link}} is {{Term|BotW|Blocking|link}} lowers it durability, breaking once it reaches zero. Performing a [[Perfect Guard]] prevents the Shield from taking damage, while simultaneously stunning the enemy or deflecting its projectile. The [[Lynel Shield]] and its upgrades can also be used to deal direct damage when used to guard. By using a Shield while aerial, Link is capable of [[Shield Surfing]] at the cost of the Shield's integrity (provided the Shield is being ridden on coarse terrain; if Link Shield Surfs on snow or sand, the Shield will not take damage).

==={{TotK|-}}===
Along with many reuccuring shields from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', the game also introduces a series of new shields, manily a new archetype - the "Zonaite" shields. [[Fuse|Fusing]] these with [[Zonai Device|Zonai devices]] reduces the [[battery]] usage of them when [[blocking]]. Like in the last game, [[Hestu]] can upgrade the Shield Inventory in exchange for [[Korok Seed|Korok Seeds]].
Several types of {{Plural|TotK|Shield}} are set to appear in {{TotK}}. They can be {{Term|TotK|Fuse|link|display=Fused}} with {{Plural|TotK|Material|link}} and {{Plural|TotK|Object|link}} as a means of enhancement.


====List of {{Plural|TotK|Shield}}====
Equally to its predecessor, Link has the ability to [[Shield Surfing|Shield Surf]]. Doing this on coarse terrain lowers the shields durability, but fusing frozen meat to the shield makes for a smooth ride, no matter the terrain.

| A Bokoblin-made shield created by attaching a handhold to any flat tree bark picked up off the ground. It's pretty shoddy, so don't expect it to last very long.

{{OoT}} greatly changed the way the shield functions. All shields must be equipped before using. Link can use the shield in two ways. He can hold it while remaining stationary, tilting it in whatever direction he faces. Contrarily, when [[Targeting System|targeting]], Link can focus on his enemy while moving freely and defending with his shield at the same time. Similarly to the Reflect magic, Link's shield can reflect certain enemy projectiles back at the attacker, an ability that comes with the item (except for the Mirror Shield in {{OoT|-}}). In a special case, if Link equips the Hylian Shield as a child, he must carry it on his back at all times, even when defending, because the shield is too heavy for him to lift. This method can be used to block debris shooting from [[Death Mountain]]. The shield mechanics of {{MM}} and {{TWW}} are the same as those in {{OoT|-}}, except shields are equipped automatically.<ref>{{Cite Manual|quote=Normally, Link will crouch as he raises his shield, but he can also move with his shield raised when Z-Targeting is activated.
