Information: A shield made with the ancient Sheikah tech from Breath of the Wild.
Like the related weapons, it has properties comparable to a lightsaber, with a small central unit
made of some kind of strange, stone-like material, which, when equipped, emits the rest of the
body in the form of fragments of blue light. For this basic kind of shield used by Guardian
Scouts, the fragments form a circular shape.

Level: A
Element: None
Ailment: None
Power: Attack x2 (+2 to ancient Sheikah tech)
Hits: 1
Defend Bonus: +5
Information: A shield made with ancient Sheikah tech, but this one was smithed by
Robbie instead of stolen off of a Guardian. It's shaped like an eye, but made out of the blue
glowing stuff, and was probably used by ancient Sheikah warriors back when the Guardians were
first made. It's got a particularly high defensive bonus, but it's very hard to use.
Name: Lynel Shield
Type: Melee
Subtype: Shield
Level: A
Element: None
Ailment: None
Power: Attack x2
Hits: 1
Defend Bonus: +6
Information: A golden shield with a trilateral, kind of spiky design. It's carried
by Lynels, incredibly powerful centaur-like beasts in Breath of the Wild. Its defensive bonus is
just about the best you'll find, but slaying a Lynel is no mean feat.
Name: Hylian Shield
Type: Melee
Subtype: Shield
Level: A
Element: None
Ailment: None
Power: Attack x1
Hits: 1
Defend Bonus: +9
Information: Link's traditional shield, with its recognizable blue and pink design,
silver frame, and yellow Triforce symbol. It grants a massive bonus to the Defend command, but
doesn't deal any more damage than an unarmed attack. It requires heroic skill to wield.
