A '''Guardian Acorn''' can either be used as an empowering {{Field|SingleUse}} treasure which is consumed with a single use, or as a [[:Category:Material|material]] to be used by a [[Crafting#Woodworking|Woodworker]] to forge a shield or piece of armor.

A Guardian Acorn is a small golden triangle which some believe is a variation of Force Gem, while others believe is a shard spread throughout Hyrule when the Triforce was first created. By activating one of these pieces--by either consuming it, throwing it on the ground, squeezing it in one's palm, or something else entirely--the user is surrounded in an aura that doubles the damage he deals with physical weapons for several minutes. This does not affect the damage from [[:Category:Spells|spells]], but does affect [[:Category:Techniques|techniques]]. After the effect ends, the piece's glow fades and it turns to ash. The effect does not stack with multiple uses.

A skilled [[Crafting#Woodworking|Woodworker]] is capable of forging a shield, weapon, or piece of armor (not an entire set of armor) which can use this empowering effect repeatedly. Only when at least twelve separate acorn (for a total cost of 60 rupees) are gathered can they be properly formed into a powerful lumber commonly referred to as a "Guardian Plank." This plank could then be refined into wood for a protective item. When the wielder of such an item focuses their willpower into it, the normal Guardian Acorn effect is activated, halving the damage several minutes at a time. Once this effect is used, the item's wood will seem to dim for several hours, preventing the empowering effect from being used again for the duration.

==Variant==
An '''Armor Seed''' can be obtained in place of a Guaridna Acorn, for the same cost. Of similar size to a Guardian Acorn, an Armor Seed is a small, blue, crystal-like mystical seed. Its fields, classification, and effects are identical to that of a Guardian Acorn, but it cannot be used as a material by Woodworkers.

==Trivia==
* Guardian Acorn and Armor Seed can be seen as defensive counterparts to the offensive [[Piece of Power]] and Razor Seed.
* {{Canon|Link's Awakening}} An Armor Seed initially appears cannonically in ''Four Swords.''
