Looking to get the Mirror Shield in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom? The Mirror Shield is a shield that appears in multiple games in The Legend of Zelda series. In previous titles, it allowed Link to deflect all sorts of attacks and was considered the most powerful shield in many of them.

The mirror shield has made its return in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, and it is now more accessible than ever before. The method is a bit different, so you’re going to want to know how to get the Mirror Shield in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

What is the Mirror Shield in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom?

The mirror shield is a Fuse item in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom with a base defence of 50. It’s a unique shield that gives Link the ability to deflect and redirect light beams and magical attacks. Deflecting these attacks is its speciality and naturally, with a well-timed parry, you can deflect attacks right back at your enemies.

This unique ability to manipulate and redirect light and magic sets the Mirror Shield apart as an invaluable tool in Link's arsenal, allowing you to tackle some enemies in brand-new ways. It’s a weapon every Zelda player should try out at least once in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

It simply requires you to use the brand new Fuse ability to merge a Zonai Mirror and a Shield. It really is that simple!

Once you have your new shield, you can use it to reflect magic attacks during combat. More important, however, is the ability to reflect beams of light. This ability is essential in solving many of the game’s puzzles and shrines.
