Hylian Shield

are recurring NaN Items in. The Series: goes unnamed in the Zelda HD Experience and.

Location and Uses
It is the traditional Shield bore by the Knights of Hyrule and is commonly used by Link in 3D Zelda games alongside the Master Sword. Unlike Wooden Shields, the Hylian Shield will not burn upon contact with fire. Though it is made of steel, it is light and sturdy, an optimal weight for a fighter with a one-handed weapon. Throughout the Zelda games, the Hylian Shield has changed little in terms of overall appearance, always bearing the symbol of the Triforce and, beneath it, a red Hylian Crest representing the goddess Hylia and the Crimson Loftwing that helped Link at the founding of Hyrule. The first Hylian Shield was a legendary Shield guarded by the Thunder Dragon Lanayru, who created the Lightning Round to judge whether someone would be worthy of wielding the Shield.

While the Series: did not appear in the original or DX versions of, the LANS: was given the appearance of the Series: in. It it received from LANS: after LANS: wakes up on LANS:.

The Hylian Shield can either be purchased or found by Link as a child in. Emblazoned with Hylian artwork, complete with a Crimson Loftwing and the Triforce, the Hylian Shield is much too large for young Link to wield on his arm and functions more like a turtle's shell. After his seven year sleep, Link became able to use it as his standard Shield.

The Hylian Shield becomes almost necessary to survive a visit to the Great Fairy in Death Mountain, as child Link's 'turtle shell' use of the Shield protects from recurrent flaming rock eruptions. It is also not prone to the risk of being burnt by particular fire-borne enemies, such as the Fire Keese. However, the Hylian Shield can be consumed by the Shield-eating Like Likes if Link is swallowed by one. Child Link's use of the Shield limits mobility while defending and does not provide as much adequate protection from the front as the Deku Shield (and the Hylian Shield as an adult) and is similarly unable to reflect Deku Scrub and Octorok attacks, but it can defend Link from the Boulders that rain from Death Mountain. The guard at the gates of Kakariko Village (leading to Death Mountain) can offer Link a discount in correspondence with the owner of the Bazaar in Hyrule Castle Town. If Link speaks to the guard and then attempts to purchase the Hylian Shield at normal price at the Bazaar in the Market, the shop owner will give Link a discount of random values in intervals of 5 Rupees between a total price of 45 to 75 Rupees. However, the Shield cannot be bought even with the discount if Link does not have 80 Rupees. Despite the discount, a free Hylian Shield can be found if Link opens a certain grave at night in the Kakariko Village Graveyard.

In, the TPHD: becomes available before entering the TPHD: in the newly established TPHD: in TPHD: for 200 NaN Rupees. It can also be bought (for a slightly higher price of 210 NaN Rupees) from a TPHD: in TPHD:. Unlike the TPHD: and TPHD:, the TPHD: is indestructible as it is made of metal. However, it is unable to catch NaN Arrows that strike it, merely deflecting them instead.

Its appearance is largely similar to its appearance, with some minor design changes. Unlike, the metal frame is thinner and the numerous rivets are replaced by three large bolts. The TPHD: symbol has become smaller, now with metal framing it. In contrast, the TPHD: is noticeably bigger and takes up the entire bottom half of the TPHD:. The inverted triangle at the bottom has been removed and two metal decals take its place.

[[SS -]]
As with all other Shields in SS undefined, the Hylian Shield is controlled by using the Nunchuk: by quickly thrusting the Nunchuk forward, Link will raise his Shield and use it to defend himself against enemy attacks. Unlike other Shields in the game, this Hylian Shield is imbued with heroic power, making it indestructible, with its durability bar permanently filled with a glowing blue color to signify this. Unlike its past appearances, the Hylian Shield cannot be obtained early on in the game, due to the nature of normal Shields as potentially temporary items with limited durability. It is the reward from the Thunder Dragon Lanayru's Lightning Round if Link wins eight fights consecutively and then quits.

The Hylian Shield's design originally was largely similar to that of, albeit with brighter colors more akin to the original design. Sometime prior to E3 2011, the design was altered, removing the silver rim around the Triforce and the metal ornamentation beneath the Crimson Loftwing design.

The Hylian Shield is found in ALBW: in. When obtained, it replaces the standard Shield once obtained. Unlike the standard Shield, it can block magical attacks such as the beams fired by Beamos, as well as block the Lynels' fire breath, although it cannot reflect them back.

Although the Shield is referred to as a Hylian Shield and bears the Hyrulean Triforce, it is not known or explained how it came to be housed in a Lorulean dungeon.

The BotW: is located in a BotW: in the BotW: of BotW:, guarded by a BotW:. It is said to have been passed down through the BotW: along with legends of the hero. The defensive capability and durability of this BotW: are known to outshine all others. It is the strongest and most durable shield in the game, having a durability of 800 (up to 1160 with Durability Up +) and Defense rating of 90 (up to 144 with Guard Up +). Unlike SS -, the BotW: is capable of breaking like other NaN Shields. Once obtained within BotW:, it can be purchased from BotW: in BotW: for 3,000 Rupees, provided Link does not have one already. However, when purchased here, it does not come with a chance of being granted modifiers.

When spoken to at BotW:, BotW: of the NaN Shield Breakerss will explain that all shield surfers have heard of and covet the BotW:. He believes it to have been commissioned by the BotW:, and its durability makes it perfect for shield surfing. The traveler BotW: has also heard about the BotW:'s durability.

The BotW:, being made of metal, will attract BotW: if it is equipped during a BotW: and conduct BotW:. It will also sink if it is dropped in BotW:, but it can be picked up and manipulated with the BotW: BotW:. Finally, it will not burn if it is exposed to BotW: or a BotW:.

In, the first player wields a bow (or optionally a sword and shield if playing singleplayer) and the other one to four players wield swords and shields. The swords resemble the Master Sword, while the shields resemble the Hylian Shield. However, the shields' (and swords') base color changes to match the color of the player wielding them (with the exception of the first player in singleplayer, where the sword and shield will be colored blue, despite the first player being green). The shield's design is much more simplistic than the majority of its canon appearances, and is flat across the top and lacks the curved edges on the bottom as well as the metal designs above the Triforce crest. The back of the shield is made of wood, similar to its in-game appearance in Ocarina of Time. Similar to its functionality in Skyward Sword, the shield is controlled using the Nunchuck and can block melee attacks as well as projectiles.
