|ZonauReliefSearch
The Hylian Shield has a base [[Shield Guard]] of 90 and base durability of 800, making it easily the most durable shield in the game. Found in a large room in the [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]] [[Lockup]], the room contains a [[Stalnox]] which must be defeated before a chest appears with the shield inside.

If the shield breaks, Link can go to [[Tarrey Town]] to buy a new one from [[Granté]] for 3000 rupees, provided the side quest ''[[From the Ground Up]]'' has been completed.

Pot Lids have a base Shield Guard of 1 and base durability of 10. One can be found on the [[Great Plateau]], just outside of the [[Woodcutter's House]], and they are typically found in urbanized areas, such as [[Hateno Village]] or [[Stable]]s. As makeshift shields, often used by [[Bokoblin]]s in defense, they have the lowest possible base Shield Guard.

They are the shield counterparts to the [[Soup Ladle]]. As they are related to cooking, Pot Lids can also be seen being used by the traveling chef [[Stamm]], as well as the failed chef [[Moza]]. Despite their name, Pot Lids are never actually seen being used in cooking to cover a pot, only as a shield.

Forest Dweller's Shields have a base Shield Guard of 30 and base durability of 18. They can be found in various locations in [[Hyrule]], but they are most common in the [[Korok Forest]]. These shields are made entirely from wood, meaning they will catch fire if brought into close proximity to a flame.
|Here's what it says."Ones held y honore als hochmayde to kyng Rauru ond quen Sonia, thaerafter to his suster ond to princesse Zelda."Her on thaes grete stan ond twelf mo withalle make y endite min time with the roial familie."So michte heore remembraunce preserven for the sake of hem on whom oure hope raeste."There's not much to go on, but you can clearly read the names of King Rauru and Queen Sonia, the founders of Hyrule.The name "Zelda" is clearly legible elsewhere in the text.The author finishes by saying that she will write about the royal family's daily lives in 13 segments.It certainly seems to be a royal diary left behind by a chamberlain or someone of equivalent station.The part that catches my attention is the third name mentioned—Zelda.There's no record of anyone by that name in any of the other texts we've unearthed so far.But this is evidence that the name Zelda is much older than the princess—it dates all the way back to Hyrule's founding.What's written here must be the start of a firsthand account of Hyrule!

It's an account of their daily lives in 13 parts.Which suggests that there are 12 other stone tablets out there.I wonder what stories they might tell...

Simply incredible.In finding the fantastic devices they built to preserve these records, you fulfilled the wishes she wrote of here.And it doesn't end there.If I'm reading this right, it suggests that their Zelda worked with Mineru to raise the Temple of Time into the sky!The idea of the Temple of Time, a grand edifice built in that ancient era, being lifted to the skies to await a hero...Trust me—that's what it says!Although given the appearance of the sky islands after the Upheaval, perhaps it's not so far-fetched as it seems?There are so many revelations here...

Dragonbone Boko Shields have a base Shield Guard of 25 and base durability of 8. They are primarily worn by [[Black Bokoblin]]s in the outer regions of [[Hyrule]], such as [[Tabantha]] and [[Ridgeland]]. While the strength is a significant improvement over the weaker Boko Shields, the low base durability still making them some of the most fragile shields in the game.

Talk0004 ZonauReliefSearch Well? Did you find a stone tablet?
Talk0006 ZonauReliefSearch According to the stone tablet at Lookout Landing, we have left to find.
talk0026 ZonauReliefSearch The stone tablet that fell from the sky is inscribed with ancient Hyrulean.If I can manage to translate the text... it may be key to understanding a moment in time from ancient Hyrule.
talk0027 ZonauReliefSearch I can translate this from ancient Hyrulean, but my notes are back at the research lab in Kakariko Village.So I'll be heading there to check this text against my notes and proceed with the translation.
talk0028 ZonauReliefSearch Did you notice the number 13 there?That means there are 12 more stone tablets to be found.If a royal chamberlain really left these...It's an interesting perspective on the day-to-day life of the era. One which the history books don't mention.There's so much we could learn here of King Rauru, Queen Sonia, or even this curious woman named Zelda.Twelve stone tablets left... Fascinating.
talk0029 ZonauReliefSearch Link? I can see the excitement on your face clear as day. Have you already found something?!If you've tracked down a picture of a stone tablet like the one at Lookout Landing, I'd love to see it.
Talk0029 ZonauReliefSearch There should be left.

Talk0040 ZonauReliefSearch If you happen to find more stone tablets on your travels, get some kind of visual evidence of them and show it to me.I'll make sure there's a nice reward in it for you.
Talk0041 ZonauReliefSearch Speaking of which, Robbie showed me something back when he was researching the Ring Ruins.He called it a "camera." It would instantly create a picture of whatever he pointed it at.The pictures were so clear that it was like looking at the real thing.If only I had pictures that clear of these stone tablets I'm researching...
Talk0043 ZonauReliefSearch Ah, Link. Good of you to come.
Talk0044 ZonauReliefSearch If you bring me visual evidence, there's a reward in it for you.
Talk0046 ZonauReliefSearch The original text of the stone tablet is depicted here. I'll read it again for you, so listen well.
Talk0047 ZonauReliefSearch This is a picture of the stone tablet that fell from the sky at Lookout Landing.I managed to decipher the inscription on it using my notes on ancient Hyrulean I had in storage at this research lab.
Talk0048 ZonauReliefSearch Here's what it says."Ones held y honore als hochmayde to kyng Rauru ond quen Sonia, thaerafter to his suster ond to princesse Zelda."Her on thaes grete stan ond twelf mo withalle make y endite min time with the roial familie."So michte heore remembraunce preserven for the sake of hem on whom oure hope raeste."There's not much to go on, but you can clearly read the names of King Rauru and Queen Sonia, the founders of Hyrule.The name "Zelda" is clearly legible elsewhere in the text.The author finishes by saying that she will write about the royal family's daily lives in 13 segments.It certainly seems to be a royal diary left behind by a chamberlain or someone of equivalent station.The part that catches my attention is the third name mentioned—Zelda.There's no record of anyone by that name in any of the other texts we've unearthed so far.But this is evidence that the name Zelda is much older than the princess—it dates all the way back to Hyrule's founding.What's written here must be the start of a firsthand account of Hyrule!
Talk0049 ZonauReliefSearch "Ones held y honore als hochmayde to kyng Rauru ond quen Sonia, thaerafter to his suster ond to princesse Zelda."Her on thaes grete stan ond twelf mo withalle make y endite min time with the roial familie."So michte heore remembraunce preserven for the sake of hem on whom oure hope raeste."Not much to go on, but the author was a servant to the founding king and queen of Hyrule, Rauru and Sonia.She also attended the king's elder sister and someone named Zelda. It's an account of their daily lives in 13 parts.Which suggests that there are 12 other stone tablets out there.I wonder what stories they might tell... It's so exciting to think about.If you find any of the remaining stone tablets, by all means get some visual evidence, and bring it to me.I'll make sure there's a reward for you.
Talk0050 ZonauReliefSearch What a droll sense of humor!It's me, Wortsworth. The ancient-Hyrulean scholar you met at Lookout Landing.Aren't you curious about my findings here, Link?
Talk0051 ZonauReliefSearch I thought so. I'm glad to see you showing an interest in my work.
Talk0052 ZonauReliefSearch Hm? Are you interested in the text from the stone tablet discovered at Lookout Landing?
Talk0053 ZonauReliefSearch Too curious to stay away, eh?
Talk0054 ZonauReliefSearch Are you really that interested in the text from the stone tablet discovered at Lookout Landing?
talk0081 ZonauReliefSearch Don't tell me. Based on your stature, physique, and distinctive right arm...you must be Link. Am I right? Purah has told me so much about you.I'm Wortsworth. My research specialty is ancient Hyrulean.And by ancient Hyrulean, I don't mean the text found in the Ring Ruins but something different.It's what we call the language used at the time of Hyrule's founding. Traces of it are still present in our speech today.You see the difference, I trust.
talk0082 ZonauReliefSearch I've already copied down what's inscribed here, so I'll be getting back to the village.
talk0084 ZonauReliefSearch Ah, Link. You've come just in time. Have a look at this.
talk0087 ZonauReliefSearch This inscription has tremendous archaeological value. It's a bridge connecting us to the distant past.I aim to unravel its mysteries. And the sooner I get started the better.

talk_100 ZonauReliefSearch Oh... Wait a moment. Wasn't this the final stone tablet?
talk_101 ZonauReliefSearch This is...unbelievable!The details are unclear, but essentially, the chamberlain trusted in Mineru and Zelda's predictions and wanted to help.She put forth the suggestion to Mineru to build a mechanism that could make her stone tablets float in the sky.Which I take it are the very tablets you found, Link? Simply incredible.In finding the fantastic devices they built to preserve these records, you fulfilled the wishes she wrote of here.And it doesn't end there.If I'm reading this right, it suggests that their Zelda worked with Mineru to raise the Temple of Time into the sky!The idea of the Temple of Time, a grand edifice built in that ancient era, being lifted to the skies to await a hero...Trust me—that's what it says!Although given the appearance of the sky islands after the Upheaval, perhaps it's not so far-fetched as it seems?There are so many revelations here... My hands are trembling from all the strange, exciting ideas!And that's from merely reading an account long removed from the event.What must it have been like for the chamberlain to live through it?
talk_102 ZonauReliefSearch We collected all 13 of them!I can't believe it!Finally, I've translated the whole history. I'm going to need a moment.Now that I've read all of it...well, to step outside my role as researcher, I'm deeply impressed with the author.I would very much have liked to meet her. If only the vast gulf of time didn't separate us!But of course, collecting the 13 records on these stone tablets would have been impossible without your cooperation, Link.In recognition of your work as a member— well, honorary member—of the survey team, I want you to have this cloth.
talk_103 ZonauReliefSearch I gained some precious understanding from my analysis of the text discovered this time.This history the chamberlain left for posterity contains not just facts but an important record of her feelings.I want to continue my research of ancient Hyrulean so I can convey those feelings to the rest of the world!Link, thank you very much for working with me on this!
talk_106 ZonauReliefSearch The thought of such incredible historical artifacts falling down all over Hyrule is so exciting.
talk_107 ZonauReliefSearch My head is spinning... I need to lie down.This is an incredible find!An eyewitness account of the Temple of Time floating up into the sky?It's a landmark discovery for the history of Hyrule. It may be one of the top 10 most important discoveries of all time!Even among all the breathtaking displays of power we knew of from the era, to raise the land and its buildings into the sky...That was a feat impressive even to those accustomed to wonders. You can tell as much from this account.Zelda predicted that a hero would appear in the land they raised into the sky and that he would save Hyrule.The chamberlain took this on faith and wanted to know how she could help.So she inscribed these records on the stone tablets that Mineru sent into the sky.Aaah! I'm so overwhelmed that the tremors have gone past my hands and legs. My whole body is shaking!Please excuse me. This is no way for a researcher to behave.I need to view these accounts as a historian and not get so swept up in personal sentiments...
talk_108 ZonauReliefSearch It seems this is the last of the records.The royals whom the chamberlain served so faithfully were gone, one by one...It's heartrending to read. Her pain comes across so clearly in her words.What's less clear from these entries is the cause of all these partings...Well, each new mystery is an opportunity to do more research! If I keep digging, someday I'll unravel it.Like the noble chamberlain, I must do my part!

talk_120 ZonauReliefSearch A Parting Resolve
talk_121 ZonauReliefSearch This is an account of a party from those days.It says King Rauru and his older sister sang and danced together while Queen Sonia looked on.We think of royalty as austere and reserved, but these nobles amused themselves with song and dance.But what a vivid recounting of a scene never before related in any history book...The descriptions of their personalities and expressions make the ancient past feel alive again.This stone tablet is a first-class find. Well done, dear chamberlain, in leaving behind this account for us.I'm positively beside myself to think of how this story from the ancient past persevered so long to reach us today.
talk_122 ZonauReliefSearch This one looks to be about Queen Sonia. It claims that Sonia was a priestess before marrying Rauru.Despite his status as a Zonai, a people popularly thought to be gods, she would counsel him without any trepidation.Moreover, Rauru heeded this counsel.This account gives us firsthand knowledge of the nature of Queen Sonia and King Rauru's relationship.Rauru found himself unexpectedly charmed by her strong will, and before long, they were married...Er, that last bit isn't in the text. That's me speculating.History rarely speaks of a person's character prior to being elevated to royalty. So I can't help but fantasize.
talk_123 ZonauReliefSearch This is a tale of King Rauru.Apparently, he would vacate his official business from time to time in order to go out hunting.I had the impression he was a stricter, more serious king, but I guess he had a lighter side as well.However, Queen Sonia was always a step ahead. She would put a stop to King Rauru's hunts and bring him back.We rarely get a glimpse into the down-to- earth side of royalty in this way. It's an important find, to be sure.
talk_124 ZonauReliefSearch The subject here is the actions King Rauru and Queen Sonia undertook not long after Hyrule's founding.With the kingdom established, they were worried for their people, so they set out to eradicate the monsters troubling them.They created structures called Shrines of Light to seal the monsters away so that they could never be revived.There's more here about light...and time too... The sense I get is that the two of them may have had supernatural powers.Though it's part of ancient history, it's a feat those of us living today should still be grateful for. Truly an important discovery.
talk_125 ZonauReliefSearch Here, we learn a bit about Mineru.It says that she neglected to eat or sleep while making something called a...construct?It was part of her research into a means of returning to life as a spirit possessing a new body, should her original one die.To you or I, this sounds less like history and more like some sort of ghost story.But remember who we're dealing with. They may have had unfathomable powers that made such things possible.The revelation that Mineru was a fellow researcher makes her feel like a kindred spirit to me, and yet...The chamberlain who inscribed these tablets treats Mineru with such care and kindness that it warms my heart.
talk_126 ZonauReliefSearch This is another fascinating entry.If my translation is correct, the Zelda described here is Sonia's distant relative.According to this, she arrived in Hyrule unexpectedly from another kingdom. It seems she was a beautiful princess.Her strange clothing perplexed the people of Hyrule, and many were suspicious of her at first.But this Zelda had such an undeniable air of nobility that those who doubted she was of royal birth were soon silenced.Note how clearly this conveys the writer's feelings regarding Zelda.Once it was clear Zelda would be staying, she applied to be chamberlain to the princess. That suggests real admiration.
talk_127 ZonauReliefSearch The subject here is Zelda and Mineru.Zelda apparently visited Mineru often to assist with her research.I have no idea what kind of thing this "construct" that allowed people to ride on it was.But Zelda rode it so well that our author the chamberlain was again impressed by her skill at everything she tried.That's the long and short of it here.But more than the narrative, what strikes me is the back and forth between the chamberlain and Zelda.The chamberlain tried to warn Zelda of the danger, but Zelda pushed past her and rode the construct anyway.It's short but so evocative of both the level of technology found in this era and the character of their visitor Zelda.The "treasure" found in these stone tablets is the pearls of wisdom and nuggets of personality contained within.
talk_128 ZonauReliefSearch Here we learn something about the fashion trends of that era.The story's catalyst is their Zelda telling a tailor about the mushroom-patterned outfits becoming popular in her homeland.Intrigued, the tailor fashioned some clothing in that vein, and it caught on in ancient Hyrule.Do you know Cece from Hateno Village? Imagine the look on her face if she were to find out!They say that trends go in cycles, but... I didn't expect mushroom patterns to have been in fashion so long ago!One last thing about the chamberlain...Her interest in fashion shows there was more to her than devoted service. She was just like anyone else in the kingdom.
talk_129 ZonauReliefSearch This one is an ancient ghost story.My understanding of ancient Hyrulean isn't perfect, but I know a ghost story when I see one.It's a firsthand account of a ghostly or maybe corpse-like woman who appeared each night looking just like their Zelda.No matter the era, it seems, people can't resist sharing a good ghost story.A bit like how there have been eyewitness accounts of our Princess Zelda in the newspaper, even though she's missing...Could our Zelda be a ghost too? No... of course not.
talk_13 ZonauReliefSearch Interesting... I'll get right to translating it.Oh! Aha... Incredible!It's firsthand Hyrulean history!
talk_130 ZonauReliefSearch That one is all about the feats Zelda performed for the sake of the hero.The details are unclear, but essentially, the chamberlain trusted in Mineru and Zelda's predictions and wanted to help.She put forth the suggestion to Mineru to build a mechanism that could make her stone tablets float in the sky.Which I take it are the very tablets you found, Link?

She would put a stop to King Rauru's hunts and bring him back.In some circumstances, you might expect this to have been a point of tension at their court.But the tone here is much more playful than that. These royals were more relatable than one might assume.Or so it seems from this account, at least. How fascinating!We rarely get a glimpse into the down-to- earth side of royalty in this way. It's an important find, to be sure.
