Hylian Shield

The Hylian Shield (called the Hylia Shield in the Japanese version) is used mainly in the Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess. The shield is adult-sized (though it can be used by Young Link), made of wood with an overlaying of metal which can deflect many attacks. The front bears the Hylian Royal Family crest, along with the triforce.

The shield can be purchased at the Bazaar in Hyrule Castle Town as young Link, or in Kakariko Village as adult Link, or found in the Royal Family tomb in Kakariko Graveyard in the Ocarina of Time. Young Link cannot use the shield normally as he is too weak/short, so he can only crouch with the shield on his back. Adult Link is able to use it normally unless carrying a two handed weapon.

In Twilight Princess the shield can be purchased from Malo's Market in Kakariko Village.
