This item is obtainable in Breath of the Wild, although it is an amiibo-exclusive. The player must scan the ''Zelda - The Wind Waker'' amiibo in order to obtain the shield. Scanning the amiibo will drop various items from the sky, along with a treasure chest, which has a chance of containing the Hero's Shield, but can also contain different items. The amiibo can only be scanned once per day.
