The Deku Shield is an item from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It is the first shield available in the game and is obtained from the shop in Kokiri Forest for 40 Rupees. Link must obtain and equip a Deku Shield as well as the Kokiri Sword to convince Mido to allow him access to the grove of the Great Deku Tree.
The Deku Shield is made of tough, hard wood and offers good protection. However, since it is made of wood, it easily burns to a crisp if it makes contact with fire. If Link loses his shield, he can buy a new one or excavate one from various Treasure Chests throughout Hyrule.
The red emblem on the Deku Shield is in the same shape as the gold base of the Kokiri Emerald.
