Top Defense Of 84 When Fully Upgraded

Although it is difficult to obtain since you have to clear all the shrines, it has a top-class defensive strength of 84 when fully reinforced, and the set effect is "Master Sword beam upgrade". The difficulty of obtaining the Ancient Hero's Aspect is high, but the defensive performance is well worth it.
