So after playing Wind Waker, I found myself a tad disappointed with how little use the shields had in combat. You had the Forsaken Fortress where you needed it to steal the enemy's weapons, but even that wasn't necessary since, like, there were always jars nearby that had Deku Sticks. So essentially it was useless. In Twilight Princess it had more use because of the Shield Bash and Helm Splitter, but those moves were only really practical against certain enemies. I always find just strafing the enemy works much better than blocking since their attacks don't have auto-tracking or anything. So, do you ever bother to use the shield in the 3D Zelda games?
