In {{TLoZ}}, the Magical Shield is a defensive item that [[Link]] can purchase from various shops around Hyrule at a cost of between 90 and 160 [[Rupee]]s, depending on which shop he buys it from.

Link starts out with the Magical Shield in {{TAoL}}. It can block most attacks from enemies, except those from [[Daira]]s. Unlike other ''Zelda'' games, Link cannot upgrade the Magical Shield; however, by using the [[Reflect Spell]], the shield will be capable of reflecting [[Wizzrobe|Wizzrobes']] magic attacks.

Link can also be seen using the Magical Shield in {{TLoZ|TV Series}}. Like most items, he can magically shrink and place the Magical Shield in his pocket, reverting it back to its normal size whenever he must use it. Despite Link always carrying the shield in the original game, the animated series only shows the young hero wielding the Magical Shield in four episodes: "[[The Ringer]]", "[[Underworld Connections]]", "[[Hitch in the Works]]" and "[[The Missing Link]]". The Magical Shield is capable of blocking Ganon's magic and protects Link from fire, as seen when he is fighting the [[Dragon (Animated Series)|Dragon]]. [[Princess Zelda]] can been seen using the shield as well: in "The Missing Link," she takes the shield from Link to defend herself from the Moblin's arrows as she rushes over to get the [[Triforce of Wisdom]].

Other than using it to protect himself and others, the young hero uses the Magical Shield as a skateboard of sorts in two occasions. In "Underworld Connections", Link hops on the shield and uses it to surf through the fire to get Zelda and him out of the [[Underworld]]. Moreover, in "Hitch in the Works", Link throws a [[bomb]] in front of him and gets out his Magical Shield. He then rides on it like a skateboard and uses the bomb's explosion to launch himself out of the castle to catch up with the Moblins who have taken Princess Zelda.

The Magical Shield returns in {{CN}}. Link is seen wielding the shield more often than in the ''Zelda'' animated series, using it to defend himself. In "[[Quest for the Potion of Power]]", the Magical Shield is used to defeat the resurrected [[Ganon]]: Kevin pours the contents of a [[Bottle of Magic]] onto Link's shield, which allows him to use the [[Reflect Spell]] when Ganon shoots a firebeam at the young hero. When the beam hits the Magical Shield, it bounces back at the evil wizard, defeating him.

The '''Magic Shield''' appears as the sole Shield in {{ZA}}. It is purchased from the shop in the [[Forest of Ogbam]] for 500 Rupees. The Shield allows Zelda to block most projectile attacks, provided if she is standing still and facing the direction of the oncoming attack.

The Magical Shield is one of Link's shields in {{SCII}}, although it is known as the '''Magic Shield''' instead and does not resemble its original appearance. Paired off with the [[Magical Sword]], the Magic Shield can be bought in the Aldebaran Shop, Algol Shop, Pollux Shop, or the Merak Shop for 3000 Gold while playing the Weapon Master Mode. Although Link's offense and defense will not increase when he equips these weapons, the Magic Sword will cause 40% block damage, compared to the usual 10%.<ref>{{Cite|Good at penetrating defenses, but weak against impact|N/A|Soulcalibur II}}</ref> The game also mentions that since the shield is quite old, it is weak against physical impacts.
