The Hylian Shield has a base [[Shield Guard]] of 90 and base durability of 800, making it the best shield in the game.

The Hylian Shield thereby obtained may have durability bonuses. | ||
The Hylian Shield is one of the absolutely best shields in the game for [[shield surfing]] due to its high durability. Provided it's not used for anything else, and taking into consideration its average friction rate (1/4 durability point/sec) and its durability (800), the shield can be used more than 53 minutes of surfing without breaking. | The Hylian Shield is one of the absolutely best shields in the game for [[shield surfing]] due to its high durability.

If the shield breaks, Link can buy a new one from [[Granté]] for 3,000 rupees, provided the side quest ''[[From the Ground Up]]'' has been completed - however, it will not come with any bonuses. | ||

The shield will only have bonuses while it stays at the [[Lockup]]. As mentioned before, the shield sold by Granté will not have modifiers regardless of whether the initial shield had them. The bonuses depend on the level of progression in the game, and the shield in the Lockup only will present high (yellow) modifiers the longer the game is played, so if one is pursuing the highest values, the later the shield is picked up, the better. | |||

Due to the fact that there's only a scant amount of non-[[Lynel]] enemies that would necessitate a 90+ [[Shield Guard]] to disarm with a [[Perfect Guard]], and given that Lynels themselves do not drop their weapons under any circumstances unless killed, it may be preferable to obtain a Hylian Shield with Durability Up modifiers so that it lasts longer. | Due to the fact that there's only a scant amount of non-[[Lynel]] enemies that would necessitate a 90+ [[Shield Guard]] to disarm with a [[Perfect Guard]], and given that Lynels themselves do not drop their weapons under any circumstances unless killed, it may be preferable to obtain a Hylian Shield with Durability Up modifiers so that it lasts longer. | ||
