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 indestructible and is also resistant to electricity. It is very durable, capable of blocking a large variety of attacks without breaking. It is the shield the Hylian soldiers use in war.

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 [[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]]''.
