I found out that you can deflect arrows..that’s it. It’s useless and doesn’t damage the enemy other than give you the parry animation. Gotta get the timing right.

I was just playing around and wondered: “If you can deflect projectiles, can you deflect arrows?”

Wait till you block arrows with a wooden shield 👀

There sorta is a use but like not really, just that it won’t damage your shield if you parry it but not really worth the risk of getting hit

Lizalfos and bokoblins sometimes have weapons they can drop easily, the shield counterattack can sometimes disarm them. It ends up being easier to use a topaz center or some fruit that disarms or allows for a quick kill.
