'''Rupin''' is a character in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. He runs the [[Bazaar#Gear Shop|Gear Shop]] in the [[Skyloft]] Bazaar, where he sells [[Link]] a variety of items, including [[Shield]]s, [[Deku Seed]]s, [[Bomb]]s, [[Seed Satchel]]s, [[Bomb Bag]]s, [[Quiver]]s, [[Arrow]]s and more.

At night, he can be seen in his home in the residential district on the south-eastern part of [[Skyloft]]. In contrast to his assumed personality during the day, Rupin behaves rudely towards [[Link]] at night. He also will buy treasures at night, but only ones he chooses for that night.

For a given type of shield, the first upgrade is 1.5 times as strong as the basic shield, and the second upgrade is twice as strong as the basic shield.

The damage dealt to a shield by an enemy attack or other damage source is proportional to the damage it would do to Link. Therefore, if a given attack does twice as much damage to Link as another attack does, it will also damage his shield twice as much. However, this does not apply to the increased damage attacks deal to Link in [[Hero Mode]]; shields take the same amount of damage from a given attack in Hero Mode that they do in regular gameplay. The number in the "strength" column in the table below indicates the number of hits required to break that shield provided the hits would each deal one heart of damage to Link in regular gameplay or two hearts in Hero Mode. (In the case of the Sacred Shield and its upgrades, the total number of hits does not take into account recovery of shield integrity over time.)

Shield Strength

(I'm not really sure where on the wiki this should go, but we should probably have this information somewhere.)

Every shield in Skyward Sword has a specific amount of damage it can take before breaking. This is laid out in the table below. In general, for a given tier of shield (i.e. basic, 1st upgrade, 2nd upgrade), the Sacred Shield derivative is the weakest, the Wooden Shield derivative is the second strongest (being 1.333 times as strong as the Sacred Shield derivative), and the Iron Shield derivative is the strongest (being twice as strong as the Sacred Shield derivative or 1.5 times as strong as the Wooden Shield derivative). For a given type of shield, the first upgrade is 1.5 times as strong as the basic shield, and the second upgrade is twice as strong as the basic shield.

The damage dealt to a shield by an enemy attack or other damage source is proportional to the damage it would do to Link. Therefore, if a given attack does twice as much damage to Link as another attack does, it will also damage his shield twice as much. However, this does not apply to the increased damage attacks deal to Link in Hero Mode; shields take the same amount of damage from a given attack in Hero Mode that they do in regular gameplay. The number in the "strength" column in the table below indicates the number of hits required to break that shield provided the hits would each deal one heart of damage to Link in regular gameplay or two hearts in Hero Mode. (In the case of the Sacred Shield and its upgrades, the total number of hits does not take into account recovery of shield integrity over time.)
