The {{Term/Store|Iron Shield|Iron Shields|Series, OoS, OoA, SS}} is a recurring {{Term|Series|Item|link}} in {{TLoZ|Series}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 128}}</ref>


==Location and Uses==
==Appearances==
The shield defends Link against some attacks that the L-1 [[Wooden Shield]] cannot, but it is not as potent as the L-3 [[Mirror Shield]].  Obtaining the Iron Shield is optional.  Like all shields in these games, it can be stolen by [[Like Likes]] if they attack Link.  If this happens, another Iron Shield can be purchased from a shop.
==={{OoS|-}}===
In {{OoS}}, the {{Term|OoS|Iron Shield}} can be earned by offering the {{Term|OoS|Subrosian Smithy|link}} a piece of {{Term|OoS|Hard Ore|link}} and a {{Term|OoS|Wooden Shield|link}}. {{Term|OoS|Link}} can also obtain the shield via a {{Plural|OoS|Secret|link}} in a {{Term|OoS|Linked Game|link}}.


In ''Oracle of Ages'', it can be obtained on [[Crescent Island]].  After the [[Tokay]] steal Link's items when he first arrives on their island, he must regain his aresenal one-by-one by speaking with each Tokay individually.  One Tokay thief can be found in a cavern on the south edge of the island, which can only be reached by swimming.  Instead of returning the Wooden Shield Link originally lost, this Tokay will instead return an upgraded Iron Shield. In ''Oracle of Seasons'', Link can earn the Iron Shield by offering the [[Subrosian Smithy]] a piece of [[Hard Ore]] and a [[Wooden Shield]].
The {{Term|OoS|Iron Shield}} defends {{Term|OoS|Link|link}} against some attacks that the {{Term|OoS|Wooden Shield|link}} cannot, but not as many as the {{Term|OoS|Mirror Shield|link}}, the most powerful shield in the game.


In terms of functionality, this shield is similar to the [[Magical Shield]] of ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' and [[Red Shield]] of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''.
==={{OoA|-}}===
In {{OoA}}, the {{Term|OoA|Iron Shield}} can be obtained on {{Term|OoA|Crescent Island|link}} after the {{Term|OoA|Tokay|link}} steals {{Term|OoA|Link|link}}'s {{Plural|OoA|Item|link}} when he first arrives on their island. {{Term|OoA|Link}} must regain his arsenal one-by-one by speaking with each {{Term|OoA|Tokay}} individually. One {{Term|OoA|Tokay}} thief can be found in a cavern on the south edge of the island, which can only be reached by swimming with the [[Mermaid Suit]]. Instead of returning the {{Term|OoA|Wooden Shield|link}} that {{Term|OoA|Link}} originally lost, this {{Term|OoA|Tokay}} will instead return an upgraded {{Term|OoA|Iron Shield}}. If the {{Term|OoA|Iron Shield}} is ever eaten by a {{Term|OoA|Like Like|link}}, a new one can be bought from any shop for 50 {{Plural|OoA|Rupee|link}}.


{{names
When not playing a {{Term|OoA|Linked Game|link}}, the {{Term|OoA|Iron Shield}} is the best {{Term|OoA|Shield}} that is possible to obtain. When playing a {{Term|OoA|Linked Game}}, the more powerful {{Term|OoA|Mirror Shield|link}} can be obtained.

In {{SS}}, the {{Term|SSHD|Iron Shield}} bears two symbols that resemble footprints, possibly those of a {{Term|SSHD|Loftwing|link}}. It can be bought from the {{Term|SSHD|Gear Shop|link}} at the {{Term|SS|Skyloft Bazaar|link}} for 100 {{Plural|SSHD|Rupee|link}} after the {{Term|SSHD|Skyview Temple|link}} is completed.<ref>{{Cite|Ahaa! I've got some {{Color|SS Red|new}} gear in stock to show you, friend. Available now, you can purchase an {{Color|SS Gold|Iron Shield}} and a {{Color|SS Gold|Small Seed Satchel}}. I hope they meet with your approval!|Rupin|SS}}</ref><ref name="SS Cost"/> Compared to the {{Term|SSHD|Wooden Shield|link}}, the {{Term|SSHD|Iron Shield}} is more durable and does not burn when it comes in contact with {{Term|SSHD|Fire|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|It's much more durable than a wooden shield, and I'm happy to report that it won't burst into flames!|Rupin|SS}}</ref><ref name="SS Obtain">{{Cite|You got an {{Color|SS Gold|Iron Shield}}!<br/>This sturdy metal shield is unaffected by fire, but watch out for electrical attacks!|N/A|SS}}</ref> However, when it comes into contact with {{Term|SSHD|Electricity|link}} it can conduct it well and will shock {{Term|SSHD|Link|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|I suppose I should warn you that it won't protect you from electricity, which could come as a nasty...shock.|Rupin|SS}}</ref><ref name="SS Obtain"/> This can be negated if {{Term|SSHD|Link}} performs a {{Term|SSHD|Shield Bash|link}} just as the {{Term|SSHD|Electricity}} connects. It can be upgraded by {{Term|SSHD|Gondo|link}} to increase its durability.<ref>{{Cite|{{Color|SS Black|A strengthened Iron Shield with improved durability.}}|N/A|SS}}</ref> The {{Term|SSHD|Iron Shield}} is superseded by the {{Term|SSHD|Sacred Shield|link}}, which repels {{Term|SSHD|Fire}}, {{Term|SSHD|Electricity}} and {{Term|SSHD|Curse|link}} attacks.
