This shield of basic design is widely use for its ease of crafting, especially among kokiri and koroks who favor woodworking over metallurgy. Though an iron shield is often more effective and durable, experienced adventurers may still prefer a wooden shield for its resilience against rust monsters and some electric attacks.

Wielding a wooden shield increases your AC by 2, but this benefit does not combine with the benefit of any other shield.
