The Sacred Shield is a shield from Skyward Sword. It can be purchased at the Gear Shop[1] within the Bazaar of Skyloft, for a hefty 500 Rupees.[2] It only becomes available once Link has defeated The Imprisoned for the first time.
The Sacred Shield's main selling point is the fact that it repairs itself upon being damaged overtime,[3][4] unlike the wooden and iron shields. However, it is more fragile than the aforementioned shields,[3] needing a lot less damage to break. The Sacred Shield can block all sorts of attacks, including fire, electricity, and curse attacks.[3][5] Furthermore, the Sacred Shield has the special ability of being able to startle Cursed Bokoblins when they see the shield.[6]
The Sacred Shield can be upgraded to the Divine Shield and the Goddess Shield.
Trivia
- The Sacred Shield has what appears to be the talon of a Loftwing on it.

Fire? Not a sweat! Electricity? No painful zaps! Plus, it will automatically repair itself when it sustains damage!
It's a little fragile, but that shouldn't be a problem for one as talented and agile as yourself!
At a cost of 500 Rupees, it's an investment...but an excellent one! Care to buy it?
