**Wooden Shield - This basic shield is available at the Skyloft Bazaar at the beginning of the game. It is resistant to electric attacks, but it will burn up immediately upon contact with fire. It is also the least durable of the shields. Gondo can upgrade it into the Banded and then Braced Shield, which have augmented durability. | **Wooden Shield - This basic shield is available at the Skyloft Bazaar at the beginning of the game.

**Iron Shield - This thick shield is the most durable of the game's three main shields, and it becomes available at Skyloft Bazaar upon completion of Skyview Temple. The Iron Shield's primary drawback is that cannot defend against electric attacks. It can be upgraded into the more durable Reinforced and Fortified Shields, which share the same problems with electricity. | **Iron Shield - This thick shield is the most durable of the game's three main shields, and it becomes available at Skyloft Bazaar upon completion of Skyview Temple.

*In the first two ''Zelda'' games, each shield had a cross engraved on it. This reflects developer comments that the ''Zelda'' world was intended as being monotheistic (and specifically based on Christianity) until they established the [[Golden Goddesses|multiple goddesses]] in ''A Link to the Past''. Most games since have had shields bearing the Hylian crest (especially the Hylian Shield itself). | *In the first two ''Zelda'' games, each shield had a cross engraved on it.
