Shield By Side<\/h3>\n

– The player has finally learned how to hold their shield by their side while they’re not using it!
\n– Since the player is now ****properly**** holding their shield, it’ll take up less important screen space!<\/p>\n

Now that the shield is held by the player’s side, it’ll also now be consistently held the same way in 3rd person!
