The Hero's Shield is a Shield found in Majora's Mask, The Wind Waker, and Breath of the Wild. This shield looks very similar to the Hylian Shield. In both Majora's Mask and The Wind Waker, it is later replaced with the Mirror Shield.
Appearances
Majora's Mask
In Majora's Mask, Link starts the game with this shield and uses it for the majority of the game.[1][2] That is until he finds the Mirror Shield, which is found Beneath the Well and acts in a similar manner to the Hero's Shield, but with exclusive properties and abilities.[3] The Hero's Shield can also be purchased from the Trading Post in West Clock Town for 80 Rupees.[4][5] It is likely that the design of the shield was changed from Ocarina of Time so as to allow newcomers to not be confused of the shield's origin, and has been modified to fit Link's younger body.
The Wind Waker
In The Wind Waker, Link receives this shield as a gift from his Grandma before he embarks on a journey to rescue Aryll.[6] Tetra will not let Link aboard her ship until he has something to defend himself with, therefore it is required to progress. Later in the game, inside the Earth Temple, it is replaced by the Mirror Shield, a recurring item in the Zelda franchise. The Hero's Shield and the Mirror Shield have no differences defensively, aside from the Mirror Shield's ability to reflect light.
