The Small Shield is a recurring item in the Legend of Zelda series. It is a defensive item that is presumably lightweight and not very strong.

[edit] Appearances

[edit] The Legend of Zelda

Link has the Small Shield with him when the game begins; it is the only item he possesses at the outset. The Small Shield is only capable of blocking rocks Octoroks spit at Link and arrows Moblins fire at him.

When Link acquires enough Rupees, he can upgrade to the Magical Shield by purchasing one from a Merchant. However, the Magical Shield may be lost if it is consumed by a Like Like, in which case Link will revert to using the Small Shield. The Small Shield, conversely, cannot be swallowed by a Like-Like.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

Link receives the Small Shield after Princess Zelda wins a lottery draw during the Picori Festival. He must later use it to bypass a Deku Scrub north of Hyrule Town. This shield can be replaced by the Mirror Shield after Link has completed the main quest.
