Shield Upgrades

Wooden Shields

Instructor Owlan / Item Shop		Wooden Shield, weakest of the all the shields, and is susceptible to burning. To make up for this weakness, it is insulated against electricity.
Scrap Shop	2x     1x     1x     30x	Where the Wooden Shield failed against enemy attacks, this Banded Shield will be able to take much more damage.
Scrap Shop	3x     2x     2x     1x     50x	Offers a much greater resistance to attacks then that of the Banded Shield. This Braced Shield will also protect against electric attacks, but still won’t block fire attacks.

Iron Shields

Scrap Shop	3x     3x     3x     1x     100x	The Fortitied Shield is the strongest of all the Iron Shields. Like previous versions, it will not burn, but it is still weak against electric-type attacks. These shields are best suited for the Eldin Volcano area and hard-hitting enemies such as Lizalfos.

Sacred Shields

Item Shop	500x	This highly durable Sacred Shield has low durability but makes up for it by slowly replentishing the damage meter on its own. It will resist most types of attacks.

Scrap Shop	4x     3x     3x     1x     150x	The Goddess Shield is more durable than the Sacred Shield and the Divine Shield. It, too, replentishes the damage meter over time and can repel most attacks, making it strong against fire and electric-type attacks.
