After [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] has given [[Zelda's Letter]] to the [[Death Mountain Trail Gatekeeper]], the Hylian Shield will receive a random discount, reducing the price to 45-75 Rupees. Additional Hylian Shields are found in various [[Treasure Chest]]s around [[Hyrule]], although they are replaced with a Blue Rupee if Link already has one. It is later replaced with the [[Mirror Shield]]. | ||
The Hylian Shield is an upgraded version of the [[Deku Shield]], as it does not burn when exposed to fire. However, the shield is too heavy for Young Link to use properly, so he keeps it strapped to his back, and crouches to use it as a turtle shell while defending. As a result, this decreases his mobility while defending and doesn't protect Link's front - instead, it defends attacks coming from above Link, which is required to get past the rockfalls on [[Death Mountain]]. Adult Link is able to use the Hylian Shield normally. | The Hylian Shield is an upgraded version of the [[Deku Shield]], as it does not burn when exposed to fire.

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 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|shield-surfing]] due to its high durability.
