I've had a lot of games land on my desk...

The use of your shield is stupid, because it now breaks.

what the fuck

God damn it, Nintendo.

Oh well, I wasn't prepared for something to usurp Wind Waker from it's spot as my favorite Zelda game yet, anyway.

aaaaa game companies, please get it through your heads that degrading equipment ALWAYS SUCKS.

edit:

How far are you into the game? This sounds like an excuse for them to give you a more legitimate shield that won't break halfway into the game.

Yeah, I'd like to know this too, I mean, wooden shields caught on fire in OoT, and until you got the Mirror Shield you still had to worry about it being eaten by Like-Likes. But ugh, breaking from normal use is just dumb. How fast does it break?
