The '''Wooden Shield''' is a recurring [[Shield]] in {{LZS|Series}}. These Shields are usually unable to protect against fire and magical attacks, and may even be burnt by them. The Wooden Shield is usually superseded by a stronger, metallic Shield.
 
 
==Location and Uses==
 
===''The Legend of Zelda''===
 
[[File:Wooden Shield LoZ.png|left]]
 
In {{TLoZ}}, the Wooden Shield is [[Link]]'s starting [[Shield]]. It is capable of blocking basic attacks, such as rocks fired from [[Octorok]]s or [[Arrow]]s shot by [[Moblin]]s. Link can upgrade the Shield by buying a [[Magical Shield]] from various shops around [[Hyrule]]; however, if a [[Like Like]] attacks Link, he will lose the Magical Shield and revert back to the Wooden Shield. The Wooden Shield, however, cannot be swallowed by Like Likes.
 
 
===''Oracle'' Series===
 
[[File:Wooden Shield OOX.png|left]]
 
In the {{OoX}}, the Wooden Shield is the L-1 Shield . It can be upgraded to the L-2 [[Iron Shield]] and later the L-3 [[Mirror Shield]] through a [[Linked Game]].
 
 
===''Twilight Princess''===
 
[[File:Wooden Shield Icon TP.png|left|30px]]
 
In {{TP}}, the Wooden Shield can be bought at [[Malo Mart]] in [[Kakariko Village]]. It serves as a replacement to the [[Ordon Shield]], the first wooden Shield Link obtains in the game, if it gets burnt. The Wooden Shield can also be burnt from fire attacks, but it is always available at Malo Mart, different from the Ordon Shield which is one of a kind.
 
 
===''Phantom Hourglass''===
 
[[File:PH Wooden Shield Inventory Sprite.png|left]]
 
In {{PH}}, the Wooden Shield is the only Shield available. In order to improve his defense, Link must use [[Neri]]'s powers to improve the Shield's capabilities, such as blocking more projectiles and stunning enemies that run into the Shield. The Shield also appears in {{ST}}, known as the [[Shield of Antiquity]], where it cannot be eaten by Like Likes.

===''Skyward Sword''===
 
[[File:Wooden Shield Icon SS.png|left|50px]]
 
In {{SS}}, the Wooden Shield can be obtained from [[Owlan]] by talking to him after obtaining the [[Goddess Sword]]. It can also be bought from the [[Gear Shop]] at the [[Bazaar (Skyward Sword)|Bazaar]] for 50 [[Rupee]]s. It is the most basic Shield in the game. It is weak to fire and will burn up if Link falls into lava. However, it is immune to electric attacks, making it useful in the [[Lanayru Desert]].The Shield's special property is that it will not only block enemy Arrows, but also enable Link to collect any of them that are lodged into it; however, while a well-timed [[Shield Bash]] will protect it from most fire-based attacks, a flaming Arrow will make it start to burn. By trading [[Gondo]] some Rupees and [[Treasure]], Link can [[Upgrading|upgrade]] the Wooden Shield at the [[Scrap Shop]]. Despite their increased durability, they still retain their weakness to fire.
