Guardian Acorn

Guardian Acorns (known as Acorns of Defense on Zelda.com) are small, golden acorns, that are dropped by enemies in. They appear when Link defeats 12 consecutive enemies without getting hit by one. When Link touches one, the acorn halves all damage Link takes for a certain amount of hits. The duration is only denoted by unique music. It is one of two temporary upgrades available in, the other being Piece of Power. The Blue Clothes obtainable in the Color Dungeon exclusive to Link's Awakening DX has the same effect, but is permanent. If Link already has the Blue Clothes, his defense will increase further with a Guardian Acorn.

In and, the Blue Ring and the Red Mail has the same effect as this item, respectively.
