I didn't really care for the shield designs much, but I was a little disappointed because I went to do the later shield upgrades in the game after I beat the temples, right before you go to save Zelda from Ghiraham/Demise, and I couldn't because I didn't have enough Skulls, and when I went looking for the monsters, I couldn't find them anywhere x.x The forest has been empty because of the flood, and the Mountain was empty because of the eruption, and the desert didn't really have any to begin with apart from the time warp spots, which I had already killed them, so :\
