In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', [[Link (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|Link]] starts the game with this shield and uses it for the majority of the game.{{Ref|MM|53|In-game description}}{{Ref|MM|3586|In-game description}} That is until he finds the [[Mirror Shield]], which is found [[Beneath the Well]] and acts in a similar manner to the Hero's Shield, but with exclusive properties and abilities.{{Ref|MM|3587|In-game description}} The Hero's Shield can also be purchased from the [[Trading Post (Majora's Mask)|Trading Post]] in [[Clock Town#West Clock Town|West Clock Town]] for 80 [[Rupee]]s.{{Ref|MM|1171|[[Man from Curiosity Shop]]}}{{Ref|MM|1172|[[Man from Curiosity Shop]]}} It is likely that the design of the shield was changed from ''Ocarina of Time'' so as to allow newcomers to not be confused of the shield's origin, and has been modified to fit Link's younger body.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', [[Link (The Wind Waker)|Link]] receives this shield as a gift from his [[Grandma]] before he embarks on a journey to rescue [[Aryll]].{{Ref|WW|133|In-game description}} [[Tetra]] will not let Link aboard her [[Pirate Ship|ship]] until he has something to defend himself with, therefore it is required to progress. Later in the game, inside the [[Earth Temple (The Wind Waker)|Earth Temple]], it is replaced when Link acquires the [[Mirror Shield]]. The Hero's Shield and the Mirror Shield have no differences defensively, aside from the Mirror Shield's ability to reflect light.
