The Shield magic is an ability that increases Link's defensive abilities, reducing the damage he takes by half.[2] Link's tunic turns red to show that it is in effect, and it wears off as soon as Link leaves a room and the scene changes. It is one of the first magic Link obtains, and can be found in an Old Man's house in Rauru Town.
