In addition to the [[Shield|bubble shield]] common to all characters, [[Link]], [[Young Link]], [[Toon Link]], and the [[Hero]] carry their own personal '''passive shield''' while in battle. | |||

While standing still, incoming [[projectile]]s that hit the shield will deal no damage and simply push the wielder back, dependent on how much damage and knockback it would ordinarily do. Unlike other projectile-countering abilities (like [[reflection|reflector]]s or the default bubble shield), this shield cannot break and can block any amount of projectiles regardless of power. The only exceptions to this rule are Young Link's Deku Shield in ''Melee'' (as powerful projectiles will pierce through it), and Link's shield in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', which is only aesthetic and has no effect on gameplay. | While standing still, incoming [[projectile]]s that hit the shield will deal no damage and simply push the wielder back, dependent on how much damage and knockback it would ordinarily do.
