===''Ocarina of Time''===
'''The Legend of Zelda''', originally released in Japan as '''The Hyrule Fantasy: Zelda no Densetsu''', is an action-adventure game developed by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Famicom Disk System]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]. The first entry in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]], the game is set in the fictional kingdom of [[Hyrule]] and stars [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]], a young boy who aims to reassemble the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] and save [[Zelda (The Legend of Zelda)|Princess Zelda]] from [[Ganon]]. Link is controlled from a top-down perspective and navigates throughout the overworld and various [[Dungeon]]s, defeating [[Enemies]] and uncovering secrets along his journey.
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', the Hylian Shield can be purchased from the [[Bazaar]] in [[Hyrule Castle Town]] for 80 [[Rupee|Rupees]]; However, if [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] speaks to the [[Death Mountain Trail Gatekeeper]] beforehand, he will grant Link a random discount, reducing the price to 45-75 Rupees (in increments of 5). Link can also find a Hylian Shield in one of the graves in the [[Kakariko Village Graveyard]], accessible during nighttime.


Unlike the [[Deku Shield]], the Hylian Shield does not burn when exposed to fire. However, it is too heavy for Young Link to use properly, causing him to use it as a turtle shell when guarding. This protects him from the front, and is required to scale the [[Death Mountain Trail]], but is less effective than the Deku Shield in combat; Adult Link uses the Hylian Shield properly. It is later replaced with the [[Mirror Shield]].
Designed by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] and [[Takashi Tezuka]], the game was released in Japan in February 1986, as a launch title for the Famicom. North American and European copies were released more than a year later, making ''The Legend of Zelda'' the first home console game to include an internal battery in the US for saving data. This version was later released in Japan in 1994, under the title '''The Hyrule Fantasy: Zelda no Densetsu 1'''. The game received ports for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and [[Game Boy Advance]], and was available via the [[Virtual Console]] on the [[Wii]], [[Nintendo 3DS]], and [[Wii U]]. It was also one of 30 games included on the NES Classic Edition system, and is also playable on [[Nintendo Switch]] through the [[Nintendo Switch Online]] service.


===''Twilight Princess''===
''The Legend of Zelda'' was a critical and commercial success, selling over 6.5 million copies, launching ''The Legend of Zelda'' franchise, and regularly being cited as one of the greatest games of all time. A sequel, ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'', was first released less than a year after the Famicom release, with numerous additional successors and spin-offs in the decades since its debut.
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', the Hylian Shield can be purchased from [[Malo Mart]] in [[Kakariko Village]], for 200 Rupees; [[Link (Twilight Princess)|Link]] can also purchase the shield from a [[Goron]] in Hyrule Castle Town for 210 Rupees. The design has been altered compared to ''Ocarina of Time'': The metal frame is thinner and the rivets have been removed, replaced with three large bolts at each corner of the shield. The Royal Crest on the shield is noticeably larger, taking up the entire bottom half of the boss, and the inverted triangle has been removed; The Triforce emblem also features a metal frame, there is a metal decoration below the Crest, and the bouche displays an ornate design.


The Hylian Shield does not burn when exposed to fire, making it the best shield in the game; However, unlike the [[Ordon Shield]] and [[Wooden Shield]], it is unable to catch [[Arrow|Arrows]] that strike it, deflecting them instead.


===''Skyward Sword''===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', the Hylian Shield is given to Link by Lanayru, as the prize for winning eight fights in the [[Lightning Round]]. The design has been altered again; The colors are brighter, the metal frames around the Triforce and below the Royal Crest have been removed, and the ornate bouche has been replaced with a plain, notched one.


The Hylian Shield is the best shield in the game. It is capable of blocking both fire and electric attacks, and has unlimited durability, making the shield unbreakable.
'''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link''' is an action role-playing game developed and published by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Famicom Disk System]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]. A direct sequel to ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', the game was released in Japan on January 14, 1987—less than a year after the original Japanese release of ''The Legend of Zelda'' and seven months before the North American release of the original. ''Zelda II'' received North American and PAL region ports in late 1988, almost two years after the initial Japanese release.


===''A Link Between Worlds''===
A direct sequel to the original game, ''Zelda II'' is set several years after the first game and once again features [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]], now a teenager, as he embarks on another quest across [[Hyrule]] to save [[Zelda (The Adventure of Link)|Princess Zelda]], an ancestor of the original Zelda who has been placed under a sleeping spell. For much of the franchise's three-decade history, ''Zelda II'' would serve as the only technical sequel to the first game, since all other ''Zelda'' games were either prequels to the original or set in alternate timelines, according to the [[Zelda Timeline|offical ''Zelda'' timeline]]. This status would remain unbroken until the release of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'' in 2017 and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom|Tears of the Kingdom]]'' in 2023.
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]'', the Hylian Shield is the dungeon item of [[Turtle Rock (A Link Between Worlds)|Turtle Rock]]. It replaces the standard Shield once obtained, and is capable of blocking magical attacks such as ones from [[Beamos]] and [[Lynel|Lynels]].


===''Breath of the Wild''===
''Zelda II'' was a critical and financial success, introducing concepts such as the [[Magic Meter]] and [[Dark Link]] which would become commonplace in future instalments, although the role-playing elements, such as experience points and limited lives, have not been used since in canonical games. A prequel, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', was released for the [[Super Famicom]] and [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] in 1990.
{{Quote|A shield passed down through the Hyrulean royal family, along with the legend of the hero who wielded it. Its defensive capabilities and durability outshine all other shields.|In-game description, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''}}
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', the Hylian Shield is located inside a [[Treasure Chest]] in the [[Lockup]] of [[Hyrule Castle]], guarded by a [[Stalnox]]. It is the strongest and most durable shield in the game, with a durability of 800 and a [[Shield Guard]] of 90. While the Hylian Shield can break, [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] may purchase a new one from [[Granté]] for 3,000 Rupees.
