This is why the mark of a bird appears on his shield. However, since the design had already appeared, was this some herald of fate to come?

The Hylian Shield can either be purchased or found by [[Link]] as a child in {{OoT}}.

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]].<ref>{{Cite|Fire Keese Destroy it before it flies into you!

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 (Dragon)|Lanayru]]'s [[Thunder Dragon's Lightning Round|Lightning Round]] if Link wins eight fights consecutively and then quits. | ||

Designed specifically for Link, it is made to be wielded with one hand.

In {{NL|-}}, 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. | |||
