Introduction To Hylian Shield

Hylian Shield is a legendary Shield first introduced in Ocarina of Time. Players consider the Shield as an icon for the game.

The Shield boasts a high Shield Guard of 90 and a base durability of 800.

However, unlike other legendary items, Hylian Shield is not obtainable through an Amiibo.

But, players can obtain the Hylian Shield through exploration.

Additionally, the players can purchase the Hylian Shield if it breaks through a merchant from Hateno Village.

However, players need to complete a series of quests to be able to repurchase the Shield. 

Moreover, Completing the quest also allows the players to re-purchase the Shield from the same Merchant. 

Furthermore, players can repair the Hylian Shield as well.

How To Obtain Hylian Shield?

Obtaining the Hylian Shield is daunting; however, it can be much easier if you prepare well.

First, you must enter the Hyrule Docks under the Hyrule Castle through the Hyrule Castle Moat. 

Here is a guide to entering the Hyrule Docks;

1. First, you will require a boat. You can create the boat through your Zonai Devices if you have saved one or create one from scratch.

2. Second, you will need a steering Stick to properly steer the boat, as the current to the Hyrule Castle will push you away from the Dock’s entrance.
3. You can find a pre-built boat on the western side of the Hyrule Castle Moat.

4. Ignore the outer Docks and head towards the inner Dock of the Hyrule Castle.

5. Here, you will have to fight five Gloom Hands. You can use elemental damage to defeat the Gloom Hands.

6. Once you defeat the Gloom Hands, a Phantom Ganon will spawn. Use Elemental Damage to defeat the Phantom Ganon as well.
7. After defeating the Phantom Ganon, go up the stairs to find five lit braziers.

8. In the center, there is another Braziers. Light the Brazier using a Fire Arrow.

9. Once Lit, a chest will spawn, open the chest and obtain the Hylian Shield.

Does The Hylian Shield Break?

Yes! The Hylian Shield can break in Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

The Hylian Shield can break when its durability is reduced to zero, and as it is used more frequently, the likelihood of it breaking increases.

Furthermore, you can also use a Royal Guard’s Shield as an alternative to Hylian Shield. The Royal Guard’s Shield boasts a high Guard of 70.

Once you repair the Shield, you can use the Hylian Shield to its fullest potential.
