The Hylian Shield is Link's most famous shield, making many appearances. Its a fairly durable shield, not burning and absorbing tons of damage. In Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword they are Link's last shield.
Properties
The Hylian Shield has a wooden base with a metal overlay although in Twilight Princess the shield is completely metal. In all appearances the shield is resistant to fire, in Skyward Sword the shield is indestructable and is also resistant to electricity. It's very durable, capable of blocking a large variety of attacks without breaking. It is the shield the Hylian soldiers use in war.
Game Appearances
Ocarina of Time
Link can find the Hylian Shield in a grave in the Graveyard at Kakariko Village, or buy it from the Bazaar in Castle Town in the past or Kakariko Village in the future for 80 rupees. 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 is receives in the game. Link can use it as Adult Link and Young Link. However, the shield is too big for Young Link, so when he uses it he keeps it strapped to his back and crouches down to defend from above. Adult Link uses it as a normal shield. Extra Hylian Shields can also be found scattered in treasure chests in dungeons. However if Link is already carrying a Hylian Shield it will be replaced with 5 Rupees. The design of the shield in Ocarina of Time is a little different then in other games, the design features a fourth triangle, the reason for this triangle is unknown, it may represent the light force as revealed in The Minish Cap however nothing official has been mentioned by Nintendo.
Twilight Princess
After clearing the Twilight from the Eldin Provrince, Link can buy the Hylian Shield at Malo Mart in Kakariko Village for 200 rupees. It is the third and final shield in the game. Unlike the Wooden Shield and the Ordon Shield, it cannot burn from exposure to fire.
Skyward Sword
In Skyward Sword the Hylian Shield is obtained once the player mostly completes the Thunder Dragon's Lightning Round. This is the last shield in the game and is completely indestructible. Unlike previous shields in Skyward Sword, this one's durability meter will never decrease no matter how much it's used.
Trivia
The Fighters Shield in A Link to the Past is incredibly similar judging by the official artwork posted by Nintendo. This shield was probably the basis for the Hylian Shield. The Hero's Shield in Majora's Mask and The Wind Waker are both very similar also, being based off of the Hylian Shield.
