===Ocarina of Time===

Link can find the Hylian Shield in a grave in the [[Kakariko Village Graveyard]] at [[Kakariko Village]], or purchase it from the [[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]]''.

===Twilight Princess===

After clearing the [[Twilight]] from the [[Eldin Province]], Link can purchase 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 Link 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 is used. It can resist fire and electric attacks.

===Breath of the Wild===

{{Quote|A shield passed down through the Hyrulean royal family, along with the hero who wielded it. Its defensive capabilities and durability outshine all other shields.|Item Description}}

Found in a large room in the Hyrule Castle Lockup, it has 90 defense rating and looks exactly how you'd expect it to. The room it is found in contains a [[Stalnox]] which must be defeated before a chest appears with the shield inside. There is a Stone slab in the room stating that this was a test room for the Royal Guard, meaning a Hinox would need to be defeated in single combat for one to be indoctrinated into the Royal Guard.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''|- Test of the Royal Guard - Strike down the giant foe to become recognized as a knight of the kingdom|Stone Slab Inside Royal Guard Test Room}} If the shield breaks, Link can go to [[Tarrey Town]] to get a new one if the side quest ''[[From the Ground Up]]'' has been completed.
