Red Shield

The Improved Shield is an Shield from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It is an improved version of Link's Fighter's Shield. It can be purchased from one of the various shops in the Dark World or obtained by throwing the Fighter's Shield into the Mysterious Pond behind the Waterfall of Wishing. It is bigger then the Fighter's Shield and can block fire balls but cannot block beams. It is replaced by the Mirror Shield later in the game.
