Cost	15 rupees

Blessed Bismuth is a crafting material to be used by an Outfitter or Weaponsmith. An Outfitter is able to use it in crafting any garment as normal, while a Weaponsmith can only use it to craft a shield.

This silvery-pink metal was used to craft the legendary Sacred Shield of ancient legends. This metal is innately frail, causing any object made from it to be particularly brittle compared to steel, making it impossible to effectively use in weapon, but suitable enough for a reinforced shield or reinforced armor. Despite this weakness, this material (and any object made from it) slowly regenerates, and will repair any damage taken to the object. Minor damage like cracks or bends usually repair on their own within a few seconds. As long as the majority of the object (or its pieces) are touching one another, it can regenerate even from dust in less than a minute's time.

Any undead creature, or character with Dark Affinity, will feel discomfort and fear while exposed to any item made from Blessed Bismuth. Affected creatures will seek to avoid the material, or its wielder, so long as doing so does not endanger their life or anything they greatly value.

Trivia

The Blessed Bismuth (material) treasure does not appear verbatim within the official Zelda series. However, it can be interpreted to exist from context, initially so in Skyward Sword.
