The Hylian Shield appears in the [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (2019)|Nintendo Switch remake]] as Link's [[Shield]]. It is mapped to the R button, and has the same properties as the Shield. It is later replaced with the [[Mirror Shield]].

The Hylian Shield replaces the standard [[Shield]] when obtained. It is able to block both fire and magic-based projectiles, and will not be destroyed if Link is swallowed by a Like Like.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''|Even if the Hylian Shield gets eaten by a monster, it won't be destroyed.|[[Hint Ghost]]}} This makes it very useful against projectile-using enemies, particularly in the [[Treacherous Tower]].

The Hylian Shield has a base [[Shield Guard]] of 90 and base durability of 800, making it the best shield in the game. It is found in a large room in the [[Lockup]] of [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]], which contains a [[Stalnox]] - if [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] defeats it, a chest appears containing the Hylian Shield. There is a stone slab in the room stating that this was a test room for royal guards, meaning a [[Hinox]] would need to be defeated in single combat for one to become a member of 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}} This is the only time the Hylian Shield will spawn here, as further visits to the Lockup will not manifest the chest. The Hylian Shield thereby obtained may have durability bonuses.

The Hylian Shield is one of the absolutely best shields in the game for [[Shield-Surfing|shield-surfing]] due to its high durability. Provided it's not used for anything else, and taking into consideration its average friction rate (1/4 durability point/sec) and its durability (800), the shield can be used more than 53 minutes of surfing without breaking.

Due to the fact that there's only a scant amount of non-[[Lynel]] enemies that would necessitate a 90+ [[Shield Guard]] to disarm with a [[Perfect Guard]], and given that Lynels themselves do not drop their weapons under any circumstances unless killed, it may be preferable to obtain a Hylian Shield with Durability Up modifiers so that it lasts longer.
