Template:Item The Small Shield,[1] also known simply as the Shield,[2] is the basic Shield used by Link throughout most of The Minish Cap.

Overview

The Small Shield is given to Link by Princess Zelda in Hyrule Town during the Picori Festival.[3] Shortly after receiving it, he must use it to protect Zelda from a Business Scrub north of Hyrule Town.[4]

Like most basic shields obtained throughout The Legend of Zelda series, the Small Shield can be swallowed by Like Likes. If this happens, Link can defeat the Like Like to retrieve the Small Shield, or buy a new one at Stockwell's 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, he can turn the Small Shield into the Mirror Shield by allowing Biggoron to eat it.[5][6]
