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.

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 [[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 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 ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|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 Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'' however nothing official has been mentioned by [[Nintendo]].

After clearing the [[Twilight]] from the [[Eldin Province]], 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.

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.
