I'm sorry to come back to this yet again, but — The Legend of Zelda. In those games your shield is an important tool, but it has its limits. It can't block every single enemy's attacks, because that would be ridiculous. Avalon Code does not take that into consideration. "Hey, the Zelda games have a shield, so we shall have a shield as well! And raising it will render you impervious to all harm." Because that's how that works.
