However, this price is dropped to 60 if you have already given the soldier guarding [[Death Mountain]] Trail [[Zelda]]'s Letter. It can also be used to deflect enemy attacks, and will not burn if touched by fire. It can be worn by Adult or Child Link, though it is too big for kid Link, in which case he can only carry it on his back to defend from above. It can be stolen from Like Likes as well, so you will have to buy it at the Bazaar (or get the one in the graveyard if you haven't already). | ||

The [[Hylian Shield]] is a powerful and strong shield that can deflect magical projectiles as well as physical attacks. Just like a regular shield it can be used with the R button. The Hylian Shield is located on the second floor of [[Turtle Rock (A Link Between Worlds)|Turtle Rock]]; found in a large chest after defeating four [[Wizzrobe]]s. | The [[Hylian Shield]] is a powerful and strong shield that can deflect magical projectiles as well as physical attacks.

The Shield is an item that only [[Link]], [[Shadow Link]], and [[Cadence]] can use. The Shield will protect the player against most concussive attacks, but is ineffective against magic. It can also reflect [[Deku Nut]]s and rocks back at the attacker with less difficulty than [[Nayru's Love]], making it preferable for new players. After getting the shield, the player can find the [[Tower Shield]] while exploring, which blocks wind when used. | |||
Once the player gets the [[Shield Technique]], Link and Cadence can attack while defending, at the cost of [[Stamina (Cadence of Hyrule)|Stamina]]. | |||
