The Wooden Shield is a recurring shield in the Legend of Zelda series. As its name implies, this small shield is made of wood.

[edit] Appearances

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons

In both games, the Wooden Shield serves as Link's default shield. In either game, it can be optionally replaced with the Iron Shield. It can also be replaced with the Mirror Shield when playing a Linked Game.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

The Wooden Shield is similar in appearance to the Ordon Shield, Link's first shield. If the Ordon Shield has been burned, Wooden Shields can be purchased as a replacement for the Ordon Shield from the shop near the Goron Spring or from the Kakariko Village Malo Mart; if the Ordon Shield remains intact, Wooden Shields cannot be purchased. They could be considered a superfluous purchase, as both are eventually replaced by the Hylian Shield, a metal shield that does not burn.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

The Wooden Shield is almost identical to the Hero's Shield from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, with the notable distinction of having a lobster symbol engraved on it. It can be purchased from the Mercay Island Shop or the Goron Store for the price of 80 Rupees. If Link powers up his shield using ten Wisdom Gems, he will take less damage from attacks and have the ability to stun weak enemies with his shield, like Red ChuChus.
