How To Get The Hylian Shield In Tears Of The Kingdom

You can get the Hylian Shield as soon as you can get the paraglider. The Hylian Shield is hidden at Hyrule Castle. But not the castle that is floating. The Hylian Shield is actaully on the docks that are still on the ground. You will need to enter from the north side of the castle. There should be a water entrance that you can go in via an Ultrahand boat or floating in with the glider.

Go in the docks and you will want to cling on the right side of the wall. Try avoiding the left side as there is a powerful enemy that can easily kill you in the early game. What you need to do is go up and you will see an area with four different torches, the largest one being unlit. Light the large torch and a treasure will appear. Open the treasure and you will get the Hylian Shield.

Is It Worth Getting The Hylian Shield Early In Tears Of The Kingdom?

As you can see, you can get the Hylian Shield very early in the game. But is it worth the risk to break such a valuable shield early in Tears of the Kingdom?

But not only that, you can repair or rebuy the Hylian Shield should it ever break.

To replace your Hylian Shield, you will need to complete the Hateno Village mayoral questline.
