Several varieties of Shields appear in Tears of the Kingdom.
List of Shields
Shield | Shield Guard | Durability | Composition | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Boko Shield |
3 | 5 | Wood | A Bokoblin-made shield created by attaching a handhold to any flat tree bark picked up off the ground. It's pretty shoddy, so don't expect it to last very long. |
Daybreaker |
48 | 60 | Metal | This shield was cherished by the Gerudo Champion Urbosa. The gold used to make it was handpicked to ensure a design that is both lightweight and very durable. |
Dragonbone Boko Shield |
25 | 8 | Wood | This Boko shield is reinforced with fossilized bone. Its defensive capabilities are respectable, but its predictably slipshod craftsmanship spells low durability. |
Emblazoned Shield |
3 | 12 | Wood | This shield features a traditional design from Necluda. Its combat capabilities aren't much better than the standard wooden shield, but it found popularity for its design. |
Fisherman's Shield |
3 | 10 | Wood | Often carried by fishermen for its fish design, which represents hope for a great catch. Its light wooden construction makes it convenient to take onto a boat. |
Forest Dweller's Shield |
30 | 18 | Wood | The Koroks made this shield specifically for Hylians. It's made from the finest hard wood of trees that grow only in the Korok forest, so it's sturdier than it looks. |
Gerudo Shield |
28 | 20 | Metal | The design of this metal shield has changed over time to match the Gerudo's sword-and-shield fighting style. It's favored by soldiers and travelers alike. |
Hunter's Shield |
3 | 10 | Wood | Favored by hunters for its rabbit design, which is said to bring luck on hunts. It's easy to use, but its durability leaves something to be desired. |
Hylian Shield |
90 | 800 | Metal | A shield passed down through the Hyrulean royal family, along with the legend of the hero who wielded it. Its defensive capabilities and durability outshine all other shields. |
Kite Shield |
14 | 16 | Metal | Rito warriors cherish this shield. Its unique shape is designed with midbattle flight in mind to facilitate aerial combat. |
Knight's Shield |
40 | 23 | Metal | A shield favored by the knights who served the Hyrulean royal family. Its sturdy metal construction makes it quite durable, but its weight requires decent skill to wield. |
Lizal Shield |
15 | 8 | Metal | A common shield found among the Lizalfos. It's made of metal, but its sloppy craftsmanship offers poor durability. |
Lynel Shield |
30 | 12 | Metal | A sturdy shield favored by Lynels for its defensive and offensive capabilities. First and foremost a shield, but the bladed edges can deal slashing attacks when deflecting. |
Mighty Lynel Shield |
44 | 15 | Metal | This Lynel-made shield has been reinforced with armor and even more blades. Stronger in both defense and offense, it can tear through basic armor when deflecting. |
Mighty Zonaite Shield |
50 | 20 | Zonaite | A shield used by Zonai and made of zonaite. It is very durable and draws on its stored energy to more efficiently use an attached Zonai device. |
Old Wooden Shield |
2 | 12 | Wood | An aged, worn-out wooden shield. It can withstand lighter attacks, such as arrows. |
Pot Lid |
1 | 10 | Wood | The lid of a large soup pot. It smells vaguely of poultry broth... Yum! It can take quite a beating before breaking. |
Radiant Shield |
35 | 26 | Metal | This extravagant shield is presented to Gerudo warriors who rise to the rank of captain. Its apparent opulence is rivaled only by its combat capabilities. |
Reinforced Lizal Shield |
22 | 12 | Metal | This Lizal shield has been strengthened by adding a different type of metal to the mix. The edge is lined with spikes, so handle with care. |
Royal Guard's Shield |
70 | 14 | Metal | This shield was forged using ancient Sheikah technology. It boasts extremely high stopping power, but its structural weakness made its low durability impractical for combat. |
Royal Shield |
55 | 29 | Metal | A shield issued to the Hyrulean royal family's immediate guard detail. It boasts a high defense, but these days it's more a collector's item due to its ornamentation. |
Rusty Shield |
3 | 16 | Metal | It's likely this rusty shield once belonged to a knight. It still has some defensive capabilities, but its usefulness has been worn down by time. |
Savage Lynel Shield |
62 | 20 | Metal | This ultimate Lynel shield is favored by the White-Maned Lynels. It excels at defending against even the most brutal of attacks and cutting down powerful foes when deflecting. |
Sea-Breeze Shield |
65 | 90 | Metal | A shield said to have been favorite of a hero who traveled the open seas. It was apparently a family heirloom, passed down through many generations. |
Shield of the Mind's Eye |
16 | 16 | Metal | A small Sheikah-made shield. Its design is intended to decrease blind spots without sacrificing too much defense. |
Soldier's Shield |
16 | 16 | Wood | A shield once used by the guards of Hyrule Castle. It's easy to handle, but it's core is made of wood, so it can catch fire. |
Spiked Boko Shield |
10 | 7 | Wood | A Boko shield made of slightly stronger wood and reinforced with animal bones. |
Steel Lizal Shield |
35 | 7 | Metal | This Lizal shield is adorned with several metal shells as a means of reinforcement. Its defensive capabilities are high, but its weight requires a skilled soldier to bear. |

Traveler's Shield |
4 | 12 | Wood | A sturdy shield loved by many an adventurer. It is made of animal hide and sturdy wood and is best suited to defending against weak monsters or animals. |
Wooden Shield |
2 | 12 | Wood | This lightweight, simple shield is ideal for less experienced fighters. It can withstand light attacks, but blocking stronger blows is not recommended... |
Zonaite Shield |
11 | 15 | Zonaite | A shield used by Zonai and made of zonaite. It lowers the energy consumption of an attached Zonai device. |
Zora Shield |
24 | 20 | Metal | A Zora-made shield adorned with intricate ornamentation. It's said that true masters of this shield can redirect attacks as a rock redirects rushing water. |
