Royal Shield

are NaN Items in.

Location and Uses
Chief among metal NaN Shields are the NaN Royal Shields, whose durability and defensive power outshine many others. Before the Great Calamity, these shields were issued to the immediate guard detail of the Royal Family of Hyrule. Though they have an incredibly high defense, Royal Shields are considered collector's items due to their ornamentations.

Being rare, there are only nine Royal Shields scattered across the map, with a tenth in Master Mode. Of these, six are held by enemies. Some Royal Shields with consistent locations include:
 * Within a BotW: under BotW: in BotW:
 * Beneath a spiral staircase in BotW:
 * A reward at BotW:

When BotW: speaks to Selmie with a Royal Shield equipped, she will take note. She points out the one she has hanging up and claims its the best shield she's seen for Shield Surfing.

Royal Shields are made of metal, and will therefore attract Lightning if they're equipped during a thunderstorm. They also sink if they're dropped in water, but they won't burn if exposed to Fire or a Scorching Climate. The Magnesis Rune also works on them, allowing Link to pick up and manipulate them.
