A Guardian Acorn can either be used as an empowering SingleUse treasure which is consumed with a single use, or as a material to be used by a Woodworker to forge a shield or piece of armor.
A Guardian Acorn is a walnut-like object imbued with fairy magic, of size comparable to a child's fist. By activating one of these acorns--by either consuming it, throwing it on the ground, squeezing it in one's palm, or something else entirely--the user is surrounded in a magical aura which halves the damage he receives for several minutes; causing any received injuries to be half as severe. After the effect ends, the acorn turns to ash. The effect does not stack with multiple uses.
A skilled 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.
- The Guardian Acorn treasure canonically appears in the Zelda series, initially in Link's Awakening. More information about the canonical version of this treasure can likely be found on Zelda Wiki. An Armor Seed initially appears cannonically in Four Swords.
