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>

[[File:Shield2.gif|left]]
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}}.
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.


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 arsenal 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}}.


===''Skyward Sword''===
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.

The shield appears again in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'' and bears two symbols that resemble footprints, possibly those of a [[Loftwing]].

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!

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.
