Guardian Acorns, also known as Acorns of Defense,[1] are items in Link's Awakening.
Location and Uses
Guardian Acorns are small, golden acorns, that are dropped by enemies. They appear when Link defeats 12 consecutive enemies without getting hit by one.[2] 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 Link's Awakening, 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.
