The Hylian Shield has a base [[Shield Guard]] of 90 and base durability of 800, making it the best shield in the game.

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. | The Hylian Shield is one of the absolutely best shields in the game for [[Shield-Surfing|shield-surfing]] due to its high durability.

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. | 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. | ||

As in ''Breath of the Wild'', its base [[Shield Guard|shield guard]] is 90, and base durability is 800, both far in excess of any other shield. However, as ''Tears of the Kingdom'' bonuses are capped at +10, the maximum shield guard it can have is 100, and maximum durability is 810. If fused to a melee weapon, it has a fuse attack power of 22 and makes the weapon blunt. | As in ''Breath of the Wild'', its base [[Shield Guard|shield guard]] is 90, and base durability is 800, both far in excess of any other shield.

==Trivia== | |||
*The [[Fighter's Shield]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' is very similar to the Hylian Shield in the official artwork for the game. This shield was probably the basis for the Hylian Shield. | |||
*The [[Hero's Shield]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' are both very similar to the Hylian Shield. | |||
*In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', the Hylian Shield features a fourth, upside-down triangle below the Loftwing. This could be the inspiration for the [[Light Force]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]''. | |||
