==Overview==
==={{TP|-}}===
The {{Term|TPHD|Shield Attack}} is the second {{Term|TPHD|Hidden Skill|link}} in {{TP}}. This {{Term|TPHD|Hidden Skill}} lets {{Term|TPHD|Link}} bash the enemy with his {{Term|TPHD|Shield|link}} to open their defenses. The {{Term|TPHD|Shield Attack}} can be learned by first finding the {{Term|TPHD|Howling Stone|link}} located on the trail leading to {{Term|TPHD|Death Mountain|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Search for the statues that howl with the {{Color|TPHD Red|sound of the wind}}. Seek the sound that calls the spirit of the beast to awaken me again.|Hero's Spirit|TPHD}}</ref> Howling at the {{Term|TPHD|Howling Stone}} awakens the {{Term|TPHD|White Wolf|link}}, who joins in howling with {{Term|TPHD|Wolf Link|link}}. After howling with the {{Term|TPHD|White Wolf}}, the {{Term|TPHD|White Wolf}} instructs {{Term|TPHD|Link}} to find him while in human form and marks where he will wait on {{Term|TPHD|Link}}'s {{Term|TPHD|Map|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Let teachings of old pass to you... Take sword in hand and find me...|White Wolf|TPHD}}</ref> Once {{Term|TPHD|Link}} returns to human form, he can find the {{Term|TPHD|White Wolf}} waiting at the {{Term|TPHD|Ordon Spring|link}}. Approaching the {{Term|TPHD|White Wolf}} can return {{Term|TPHD|Link}} to the clouded area where he can find the {{Term|TPHD|Hero's Spirit}} and learn the {{Term|TPHD|Shield Attack}}.
 
To perform the {{Term|TPHD|Shield Attack}} on the GameCube version, {{Term|TPHD|Link}} must get close enough to the enemy while targeting it and then press the R-Button, which will cause the enemy to lower its defense and thus allow {{Term|TPHD|Link}} to attack the foe with another skill, such as the {{Term|TPHD|Helm Splitter|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|What ails you? You cannot shield-attack with [R] unless you lock on with [L] first! Get closer to your foe and shield-attack with [R]!|Hero's Spirit|TP}}</ref><ref name="Skill Info"/> In the Wii version of {{TP|-}}, this {{Term|TPHD|Hidden Skill}} can be executed by thrusting the [[Nunchuk]] forward.<ref name="Shield">{{Cite|While [Z]-targeting your enemy, thrust the Nunchuk forward to shove with your shield. You can also reflect your foe's projectiles!|N/A|TP}}</ref>
 
Other than bringing the enemy's defenses down, the {{Term|TPHD|Shield Attack}} can also be used to deflect certain enemy projectiles.<ref name="Shield"/><ref>{{Cite|The {{Color|TPHD Red|shield attack}} I just taught you can also be used to {{Color|TPHD Red|repel}} an enemy's projectile attacks.|Hero's Spirit|TPHD}}</ref>
 
==={{SS|-}}===
{{Sectstub|SS}}
The {{Term|Series|Shield Attack}} reappears in {{SS}} as the '''Shield Bash''', executed by shaking the [[Nunchuk]]. However, this version of the attack cannot be used offensively, and instead is used only to prevent damage to the integrity of {{Term|SS|Link|link}}'s {{Term|SS|Shield|link}}.
