Boko Shields are Bokoblin-made Shields that are made by attaching a handle to a flat piece of bark.[1] Due to the low level of craftsmanship that went into them, they do not last very long in combat.[1] They are commonly wielded by regular Bokoblins in Hyrule Field, particularly on the Great Plateau, as well as in West Necluda. These Shields are part of the Bokoblin Gear equipment archetype, which includes all Weapons created by Bokoblins.[2]

Boko Shields are made of wood and will consequently burn when exposed to Fire or a Scorching Climate. They also float when dropped in water, and they do not conduct Electricity or attract Lightning during Thunderstorms like metal Shields do.

If scanned with the amiibo Rune, the Breath of the Wild Series Bokoblin amiibo has a chance to spawn a Treasure Chest containing a Boko Shield.

Other Appearances[]

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity[]

Boko Shields can be wielded by Link in conjunction with Boko Clubs.
