Link brought this shield along with him on his quest through the Lost Woods to find Navi. It is somewhat similar to the Hylian Shield. Later, after entering Termina, he discards the shield and replaces it with the Mirror Shield. The Hero's Shield can be swallowed by Like Likes or stolen by the Takkuri owned by the Man from Curiosity Shop. Link can buy a new Hero's Shield from the Trading Post in West Clock Town.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords

Each of Link's copies wields a Hero's Shield, though no background information is given on the shields. The shields appear similar to the Hero's Shield Link uses in The Wind Waker.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

At the start of the game, a Hero's Shield is used as decor in the house of Link's Grandma. He later needs the shield in order to sail with Tetra and her pirates to the Forsaken Fortress. Link's grandmother is sad to have to give the shield to Link and watch her grandson sail away, but she gives the shield to him regardless. It is replaced later by the Mirror Shield. This Hero's Shield was said to have been wielded by none other than "the legendary hero himself". Due to the many generations difference between Hyrule before and after the Great Flood, this is likely just a rumor, as it looks considerably different from the Hylian Shield used by the Hero of Time in the legend. It is also possible that this shield was used by another hero.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures

The Hero's Shield is the basic shield that the Links have, and no background information is given on the shields in the game. The shields are similar in appearance to the Hero's Shield from The Wind Waker.
