The Sacred Shield can be bought from the [[Gear Shop]] in the [[Skyloft]] [[Bazaar (Skyward Sword)|Bazaar]] for 500 [[Rupee]]s after [[Link]] has defeated [[The Imprisoned]] for the first time. It is immune to [[fire]], electric and curse attacks. Although its durability bar is shorter than the other shields, the Sacred Shield has a special ability to recover itself over a period of time. By [[Upgrade|upgrading]] it, Link can get the Divine Shield and later, the Goddess Shield. Cursed enemies like the [[Cursed Bokoblin]] are especially averse to the Sacred Shield, and brandishing it at them will cause them to retreat without attacking. The [[Hylian Shield]] does not contain this attribute but otherwise outclasses the Goddess Shield, and it is obtained after Link would need to face these enemies, anyway.
