Shield

A Shield is the piece of armor that Link wields alongside his sword (provided it is not a two-handed sword like Biggoron's Sword). Several different shields have been introduced since The Legend of Zelda, and the most prominent is the Hylian Shield. This shield is metal and has the crest of the Royal Family on it. Other shields are ones such as the Deku Shield and the [[Mirror Shield]. The shield has proven to be Link's greatest piece of Armor over time.
