The Ordon Shield is an item from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. A Wooden Shield crafted in Ordon Village, it is the first shield Link obtains during his quest. As it is made of wood, it is destroyed when it comes in contact with fire. The Ordon Shield is a unique item in the Legend of Zelda series, in that once destroyed, it cannot be replaced; if the Ordon Shield is consumed by fire, Link can purchase a Wooden Shield or Hylian Shield to replace it with, but another Ordon Shield cannot be obtained. Link can carry two shields at once, so if the player does not want to just dispose of the Ordon Shield by exposing it to fire, they can just buy the indestructible Hylian Shield and equip that, while the Ordon Shield will remain in Link's inventory.
[edit] Story
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Along with the Ordon Sword, the Ordon Shield was originally crafted as a gift for the Royal Family of Hyrule for the Hyrule Festival. Link is supposed to travel to Hyrule Castle Town and deliver them to the court in Hyrule Castle; however, he is abducted and transformed into a wolf before he has the chance to complete his task. After escaping the Hyrule Castle dungeon with his newfound ally, Midna, Link returns to Ordon Village to obtain a sword and shield, in order to defend himself when he is restored to his Hylian form. Link can then find the Ordon Shield in the upper floor of Jaggle's home.
