Description |
Common Locations | |
Properties | |
Forest Dweller's Shields are Shields made by Koroks specifically for Hylians to use.[1] This is common among Korok Gear, which includes all Weapons created by Koroks.[3] They are only found in three locations in and around the Great Hyrule Forest, though an additional one can be found in a Treasure Chest at Floria Falls. They are made from the finest hard wood in the Korok Forest, making them deceivingly sturdy.[1]
As part of "The Test of Wood" Shrine Quest, Damia will give Link a Forest Dweller's Shield, Forest Dweller's Sword, and Forest Dweller's Bow he must use to fight his way to the Maag Halan Shrine.[4] If he switches out or breaks any of these Items, the trial must be restarted.[5]
Being made of wood, Forest Dweller's Shields will burn to a crisp if exposed to Fire or a Scorching Climate. If Link drops them in Water, they will float. They also do not conduct Electricity or attract Lightning in Thunderstorms like a metal shield would.

But it's not complicated—all you need to do is equip the Korok weapon set and reach the shrine at the back of the area.

You have to keep the sword, bow, and shield equipped the whole time. If they break or you unequip them, you're out!

Fabriqué pour les humains par les Korogus dans un bois particulièrement robuste qui ne pousse que dans la forêt korogu, ce bouclier est bien plus solide qu'il n'y paraît.
