Link can find the Hylian Shield in a grave in the [[Kakariko Village Graveyard]] at [[Kakariko Village]], or purchase it from the [[Bazaar (Ocarina of Time)|Bazaar]] in [[Hyrule Castle Town]] in the present or [[Kakariko Village]] in the future for 80 [[Rupee]]s. Link can receive a discount at the Bazaar after giving [[Zelda's Letter]] to the soldier guarding the [[Death Mountain Trail]]. It is the second shield Link receives in the game. Link can use it as a child and as an adult. However, the shield is too big for Link when he is a child, so when he uses it, he keeps it strapped to his back and crouches down to defend from above. Link uses it as a normal shield when he is an adult. Extra Hylian Shields can also be found scattered in treasure chests in dungeons. However, if Link already carries a Hylian Shield, it will be replaced with 5 Rupees. The design of the shield in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' is a little different than in other games; the design features a fourth triangle, and the reason for this triangle is unknown, but it may represent the [[Light Force]] revealed in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]''. | Link can find the Hylian Shield in a grave in the [[Kakariko Village Graveyard]] at [[Kakariko Village]], or purchase it from the [[Bazaar (Ocarina of Time)|Bazaar]] in [[Hyrule Castle Town]] in the present or [[Kakariko Village]] in the future for 80 [[Rupee]]s.

The Hylian Shield | The Hylian Shield is found within [[Turtle Rock (A Link Between Worlds)|Turtle Rock]], one of the seven [[Lorule]] dungeons, on the second floor after defeating four [[Wizzrobe]]s.{{Ref|pg. 24|On the second floor of the Turtle Rock dungeon, Link finds the Hylian Shield in a large chest after a battle with the four Wizzrobes.|''[[Prima Games A Link Between Worlds Strategy Guide]]''}} Because of Link's choice as to which dungeons to tackle in whatever order, the Hylian Shield can be acquired fairly early or even at the end of the adventure. | ||
The main improvements in the Hylian Shield over the regular Shield are its ability to block flames and beams, such as a Wizzrobe's attack or any flame-based projectile. Furthermore, it can block the [[Buzz Blob]]'s electric attacks without hurting Link despite being made of metal. Even if the shield gets eaten along with Link by [[Like Like]]s, it won't be destroyed.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''|Even if the Hylian Shield gets eaten by a monster, it won't be destroyed.|[[Hint Ghost]]}} As a result, it is very useful against enemies, particularly in the [[Treacherous Tower]], where there are plenty of projectile-using foes. | The main improvements in the Hylian Shield over the regular Shield are its ability to block flames and beams, such as a Wizzrobe's attack or any flame-based projectile.
