I'm curious to know the type of shield everyone used during their play through of SS.

I used the Goddess Shield through most of the game, which is the fully upgraded version of the Sacred Shield. Make sure to vote on the poll and post a reply!!

I went with a shield by committee approach. I used the Wooden Shield for the first area/dungeon, the Iron shield for the second area/dungeon, the Wooden Shield again for the third and fourth dungeons, the Sacred Shield for the fifth dungeon, and then for the sixth dungeon I upgraded the sacred shield twice but then forgot to re-equip it all throughout the dungeon so I went shieldless. I haven't gotten the Hylian Shield yet; I'm not sure if I'll get it this playthrough.

I used the iron shield for most of the game just because I didn't want my Wooden one to burn. Didn't buy the Sacred one until I needed to make preparations for the final battles.

I got them as they became available and equipped them. I never upgraded and honestly I don't think I even used my shield at all except for those bushes that spit the rocks. I always forget about the shield in Zelda games. I just started hero mode and keep telling myself "remember the shield... remember the shield..."

Since we visit each area three times I used one variant of each type for each trip so that I could see Link with all of them.

It went:
Skyview - Wooden shield
Earth Temple - Iron shield
Lanayru Mining Facility - Banded shield
Ancient Cistern - Sacred shield
Sandship - Divine shield
Fire Sanctuary - Reinforced shield
Fire Dragon - Fortified shield
Water Dragon - Braced shield
Thunder Dragon - Goddess shield
Sky Keep - Goddess shield (I liked this one)
Finale - Hylian shield

Eh, I didn't usually stick with the same shield, my lsit would be random depending if the first one broke, or another one got taken or burnt.... I'm a disaster area when it comes to shields... XD

I used the Sacred Shield for the whole game after you were able to get it. Before that, though, I just used the upgraded wooden shield.

I liked the fully upgraded Iron shield,
I bought the Sacred shield and that thing broke way to fast on me >.<
It was also pain to keep buying it for 500 rupees.

I honestly went through the whole game like 95% of the time without a shield, my wooden one broke right away, I bought and iron that broke from a Beamos right away, and I bought a Sacred Shield that broke on a Beamos also, But the way I play, I don't even really need a shield, I will probably get the Hylian Shield in Hero Mode just for the 100%, but I don't even ever really use shield really, same goes for OoT, as soon as I unfroze King Zora I went out to get the Biggorons Sword, Which I used all the way through OoT until the very end when you slay Ganon, I just don't care to much about shields.

Whens the "No Shield" option? xD Well I wasn't fond of the shields so I went shieldless untill I got the Hylian Shield! Link looks pretty darn cool just with a sword though. :P

The first dungeon I used the wooden shield since I think that is the only one available at that point in the game, the second dungeon I used the iron shield since the wooden shield is completely useless in there. After the third dungeon I am sure your able to get the goddess shield however not 100% sure on that. Anyway I'm using the fully upgraded goddess shield now and will probably keep this until the end of the game.

I have no idea...
I used the Goddess Shield for the majority of the game (once it was available) but I do have every final form for each shield because I liked collecting them, although I didn't use them much. I recently got the Hylian Shield and I just put my others away so the only one I carry is the Hylian Shield whereas I used to carry each shield. I was really prepared for one of them to break. :lol:
