The Reflect magic is an ability in The Adventure of Link.[1][note 1]

Overview[]

The Reflect magic increases the strength of Link's shield. As its name suggests, it is used to reflect magical attacks with the Shield,[3] and also allows the shield to block several otherwise-unblockable attacks such as fireballs, axes, and clubs. Link learns this magic from an old man in Mountain Town of Darunia, after retrieving a lost child from Maze Island.

  1. Reflect was referred to as Reflect Spell on Zelda.com's encyclopedia.[2] However, as this contradicts the name given in Encyclopedia, it is not considered Canon.
