Magical Shield

In The Legend of Zelda, the Magical Shield can fend off the spells cast by Wizzrobe, rocks spewn by Octoroks, and energy balls belched by the Zola. It bears a cross and is significantly larger than the small shield Link carries from the outset. It can be purchased in many of the shops around Hyrule, but is found for the best deal in the shop under the bush on the screen just east of Level 4 in the first quest. It should be noted that the Like Like monster has a fondness for shields, and if it manages to grab Link when he is carrying the Magical Shield, it will more often than not consume the shield, forcing him to purchase another one.
