The Mirror Shield is an iconic and awesome weapon in the Zelda series, which usually is received later in the game. I have always been intrigued (please forgive me my grammar?) by these shields, as they seem mysterious and magical. They are not you're average every day shield which are made by Hyrulian blacksmiths. It's almost like every shield has their own mythology behind them, before Links find them.
I'm very curious if you guys have any theories or opinions on these shields? My personal favourite is the one from Majora's (not, not a fanboy talking), simply because it's a face that seems to be screaming in agony. Why is this? Who does it ressemble? It very much fits the theme of the game, but I still find it one of the most disturbing Zelda items untill this day. The sudden switch between Mirror Shield design in the OoT series has amazed me somehow too. Is this because the original had a religious symbol or is it something else?
