Kite Shields are made of wood, and will easily burn if they come into contact with flames or extreme heat. There are three locations where Link can obtain a Kite Shield. The first is in a metal Treasure Chest in the ground (requires Magnesis) in an enemy giant skull at N. Tabantha Snowfield. The second Kite Shield can be found in a Treasure Chest in an ice formation at Hebra Headspring (Hebra Plunge). A third Kite Shield can be found mounted on the wall in Selmie's Spot. Link can win it as a reward from Selmie by taking on her Shield-Surfing Advanced Course.
