Mirror Shield: Difference between revisions

In {{TWW}}, the Mirror Shield is found in the [[Earth Temple (The Wind Waker)|Earth Temple]]. It is obtained by defeating three [[Stalfos]], the mini-bosses of the Dungeon. It is the second, and final, shield and automatically replaces the [[Hero's Shield]] once obtained.

As in previous games, it is required to solve light puzzles. It occasionally must be paired with another light beam to successfully solve a puzzle, usually by utilizing [[Medli's Harp]] as it acts much, if not the same, as the Mirror Shield does regarding light. Light that bounces off the Mirror Shield can also paralyze certain enemies in this game such as ReDeads. It is the only way to solidify [[Poe]]s and thereby required to defeat [[Jalhalla]], and allows Dark ChuChus to be turned to stone.

The Mirror Shield can also cause certain stone statues to break and reflect light along a large network of mirrors, as seen in the Earth Temple. The ability to break stone statues is needed to carry on past Floor 31 of the [[Savage Labyrinth]]. Lastly, it proves invaluable in the final battle, during which Link uses it to reflect [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]'s [[Light Arrow]]s onto Ganondorf when he begins to dodge them, giving the hero an opportunity to land the finishing blow.
