you have to buy the shields. However, with 10 or 20 power gems, you can get a fire sword at the fire temple.
it becomes a steel shield
to get more shield power collect wisdom gems and then when you get ten and then twenty go to spirit island and give them to the fairy and she will up your shield
Not realy but you can upgrade it by getting wisdom gems and going to the spirit isle.
You get them all over the world.
Collect 10 or more Spirit gems and present them to the spirit on spirit island. For power, your sword is now powered with fire, for courage you can shoot shock waves out of your sword, and for wisdom your shield gets extra defense.

I don't know! that's why i ask!!!!! I want the website maker answer me BACK! WHAT IS THE ANWSER I ASK!!!?? ZELDA PHANTOM HOURGLASS WHERE ARE ALL THE GEMS!!?
get ten gems for each spirits and go to spirit island and you can switch spirits
you cannot get ten faries in Zelda phantom hourglass. you CAN get ten gems to power up your fairy though.
You go to Spirit Island (southwestern map in the middle of the triangle rock formation at the bottom of the map), and with ten gems, your sword will upgrade to the spirit of the ten courage gems you gathered.
Each fairy has its own powers that can be unlocked when you get 10 of that fairy's colored force gems (is that what they are called? i forget, but they are blue, green, and red, and are found or bought all around the game). The Power(red) fairy has a fire sword ability, the Wisdom(blue) fairy has a shield ability, and the Courage(yellow) fairy has a sword-beam ability.
