||
| − | The '''Mirror Shield''' is a recurring [[Shield]] in {{LZS|Series}}. It is a powerful Shield that generally allows [[Link]] to reflect beams of [[Light Beam|light]] or magic from one place to another. |

||
| − | In {{ALttP}}, the Mirror Shield is the third level Shield and is found in [[Turtle Rock (A Link to the Past)|Turtle Rock]]. It is better than the previous two shields, known for its ability to stop beams, such as those fired by [[Laser Eye]]s, and attacks from enemies such as [[Lynel]]s. It can outright reflect [[Wizzrobe]] projectiles. It cannot stop the beams of a [[Beamos]], however. It is particularly huge, with only half of Link's body being visible behind it during gameplay. It also cannot be stolen by [[Pikit]]s, but in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of the game it can be eaten by [[Like Like]]s. Because of this, a shop in the [[Dark World]] will sell a replacement Mirror Shield if Link loses it in this version of the game. |

||
| − | In {{LA}}, the Mirror Shield is found in [[Eagle's Tower]]. It is essential for getting to the last dungeon, [[Turtle Rock (Link's Awakening)|Turtle Rock]], as it is used to pass through the flamethrower trap in a tunnel on the way to the dungeon. |

||
| − | In {{OoT}}, the Mirror Shield is the final shield that Link acquires in his adventure. It is found in the [[Spirit Temple]] on a ledge that can only be reached after defeating an [[Iron Knuckle]] on the Adult Link portion of the temple. Unlike the [[Hylian Shield]], the Mirror Shield has a polished surface, allowing it to reflect light. This allows Link to solve the light puzzles in the dungeon. Otherwise, the Mirror Shield acts almost the same except for the fact that it destroys the projectiles spat at Link by [[Octorok]]s, [[Deku Scrub]]s, and [[Business Scrub]]s, instead of reflecting them. However, it can somewhat reflect one of [[Ganon]]dorf's light magic attacks. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Mirror Shield also plays an important part in defeating [[Twinrova]], the boss of the Spirit Temple. When [[Twinrova#Koume|Koume]] and [[Twinrova#Kotake|Kotake]] are separate, the Mirror Shield can be used to reflect - and in turn, direct to the other sister - the fire or ice beam that a sister will fire at Link. When in their combined form, the Mirror Shield can absorb Twinrova's energy, and after three of the same type of energy is absorbed, a beam of that element is fired which can stun Twinrova temporarily for a quick few slashes. |
||

| − | The original Mirror Shield had a star and a moon resembling the Islamic symbol, but this was changed in later releases to the [[Gerudo Symbol]] because of this resemblance. |

||
| − | In {{MM}}, the Mirror Shield appears depicted as a decagonal shield with a picture of an unhappy or screaming face upon it. It is found [[Beneath the Well]] after bargaining with several [[Gibdo]]s. It can reflect light, and is vital for progressing through the [[Ancient Castle of Ikana|Ikana Castle]] and solving the few light puzzles in the [[Stone Tower Temple]]. Light directed from the Mirror Shield also has the ability to instantly defeat [[:Category:Undead|undead]] enemies, such as [[Floormaster]]s and [[ReDead]]s. Like the previous Mirror Shield, it cannot deflect certain projectiles; however, unlike the previous game, it permanently replaces the [[Hero's Shield]]. Fortunately, it is more versatile than its old incarnation. |

||
| − | In the {{OoX}}, the Mirror Shield appears as the Level 3 Shield upgrade. It has a blue sprite and can only be obtained on a [[Linked Game]], via upgrading the shield through gameplay and using a password to upgrade it as well. These upgrades can be performed in either order, and it creates a "pair" with the [[Master Sword]] from these games. As in ''Ocarina of Time'', the Mirror Shield can block Twinrova's energy attacks, although it cannot reflect them, nor can it reflect anything else the other shields cannot. It is simply able to block things that the [[Iron Shield]] cannot. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Like the other shields in these games, the Mirror Shield can be eaten by Like Likes. However, once the shield has been upgraded to an Iron or Mirror Shield, shops will begin selling the current shield upgrade instead of the [[Wooden Shield]], allowing Link to purchase another one. |

| − | ===''The Wind Waker''=== |
||
| − | [[File:Mirror Shield TWW.png|left|80px|The Mirror Shield as seen in game from The Wind Waker]] |
||
| − | In {{TWW}}, the Mirror Shield is found in the [[Earth Temple (The Wind Waker)|Earth Temple]]. It is obtained by defeating three [[Stalfos]], the mini-bosses of the dungeon. It is the second, and final, shield and automatically replaces the [[Hero's Shield]] once obtained. |
||
| − | |||
| − | As in previous games, it is required to solve light puzzles. It occasionally must be paired with another light beam to successfully solve a puzzle, usually by utilizing [[Medli's Harp]] as it acts much, if not the same, as the Mirror Shield does regarding light. Light that bounces off the Mirror Shield can also paralyze certain enemies in this game such as ReDeads, is the only way to solidify [[Poe]]s and thereby required to defeat [[Jalhalla]], and allows Dark ChuChus to be turned to stone. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Mirror Shield can also cause certain stone statues to break and reflect light along a large network of mirrors, as seen in the Earth Temple. The ability to break stone statues is needed to carry on past Floor 31 of the [[Savage Labyrinth]]. Lastly, it proves invaluable in the final battle, during which Link uses it to reflect [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]'s [[Light Arrow]]s onto [[Ganon]]dorf when he begins to dodge them, allowing the hero an opportunity to land the finishing blow. |

||
| − | After finishing {{TMC}}, Link can find [[Biggoron]] at the peak of [[Veil Falls]] and let him eat his shield. If Link returns later, Biggoron will give him the Mirror Shield as compensation. It allows Link to turn any projectile attacks into beams that shoot back at the enemy. The beam does not fire when hitting an enemy physically, thus acting as a standard shield. The design is the same as the Mirror Shield from ''The Wind Waker''. |

||
| − | In {{SCII}}, the Mirror Shield from ''Ocarina of Time'' is one of shields available to Link. Paired off with the Master Sword, the Mirror Shield can be bought in the Pollux Shop, Rigel Shop or the Aldebaran Shop for 2200 Gold while playing the Weapon Master Mode. Although Link's offense and defense stays the same when he equips this shield, all of the hits the young hero takes are counters, and 33% of damage received is inflicted back to the opponent.<ref>{{Cite|Reflects attacks, but may cause Link to lose balance|Shield description|Soulcalibur II}}</ref> |

| − | |A mirror-like shield found in the [[Spirit Temple]]. It is an amazing work of art, and there are few who would argue that it is not one of the finest shields in Hyrule. It is said that its surface reflects not only light but hostile intent as well. |

| − | ==Trivia== |
||
| − | *The Mirror Shield may be a direct reference to the {{ip|Mirror Shield}} of the ''{{ip|Kid Icarus (series)|Kid Icarus}}'' series, used by {{ip|Pit}} to defend against {{ip|Medusa}}'s eye beams. The Mirror Shield is first used in the ''Zelda'' series to similarly defend against [[Laser Eye]]s. The Mirror Shield in both series is likely a reference to the Greek myth of {{wp|Perseus}}, where he used a shield to reflect the image of {{wp|Medusa}} so he could avoid her gaze. The ''Kid Icarus'' series also includes Light Arrows, both items predating their appearance in ''Zelda'' games. |
||
| − | *The Mirror Shield also appears in ''{{wp|Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru}}''. {{LA}} borrows much from this game, including the game's engine and the cameo appearance of [[Richard]]. In this game, the shield is used to reflect a mammoth boss' image, causing it to hesitate and leave itself open to attack. The Mirror Shield is found in the Ice Cavern and is the strongest shield in the game. [[File:For The Frog The Bell Tolls - Mirror Shield.png]] |
||
| − | *The [[Happy Mask Salesman]]'s backpack has a [[Mask]] in the shape of ''Majora's Mask'''s Mirror Shield. |
||
| − | *In the {{CE}} version of ''Majora's Mask'', the Mirror Shield causes a slight graphical error. When reflecting light, a green and black stripe slowly slides across the light-ray every second or so. This is probably a result of incorrect emulation. |
||
| − | *The Japanese Nintendo 64 release of ''Majora's Mask'' has another Mirror Shield in the game's programming as an unused item. It has a finished select icon and appears identical to what would later be the revised Mirror Shield of ''Ocarina of Time'', predating the GameCube edition. However, the use of this item crashes the game. |
||
| − | *In ''The Wind Waker'', the Mirror Shield momentarily vanishes from Link's back during the cutscene after the final battle. It reappears following the end credits when he departs from [[Outset Island]]. |
||
| − | *The text in ''The Minish Cap'''s game cartridge implies that the Mirror Shield was originally sold in a store, presumably [[Stockwell's Shop|Stockwell]]'s, for 350 [[Rupee]]s. |
