A Link to the Past Glitches - Blue Shield
From ZeldaChaos
There are two methods you can use to trigger the result, one involving Pikits, one involving Like Likes.
Pikit Method
Requirements
- Red Shield (the level 2 shield)
- Ether
Instructions
- Find a Pikit, the enemy that sticks out its tongue and takes your items. Pikits can be found in various places, such as in the forest, in the Dark World.
- Set Ether as your special attack.
- Allow the Pikit to take your Red Shield. This may take a few tries, since it takes items at random.
- When the tongue is still out and the shield is halfway to the enemy, use Ether to freeze it.
- Kill the Pikit to get your shield back.
Result
Your shield will be blue and remain that color even after moving to a new screen, but not if you enter a dungeon.
Like Like Method
Requirements
- Either the Red Shield or the Mirror Shield (the level 3 shield)
- Ether
Instructions
- Find a Like Like. Like Likes only appear outside the shield shop and inside the Palace of the Four Sword.
- Set Ether as your special attack.
- Allow the Like Like to swallow your shield.
- Once you're freed from the Like Like, use Ether to freeze it.
- Kill the Like Like to get your shield back.
Result
The result is the same as with the Pikit, your shield will be blue. This is the only way to get a color swap for the Mirror Shield, as Pikits cannot steal the Mirror Shield even in the GBA version.
