The early hours of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/em><\/span> <\/em>don\u2019t give you a really good shield. The game spends a lot of time showing you how to fuse items to your shield to get some cool utility out of it, but if you want one that will take a lot of hits? Your early shield options are pretty lacking. Luckily, Link\u2019s iconic Hylian Shield is actually pretty quickly accessible in the new Switch game. It\u2019s dangerous to go alone, so take this handy guide that will show you exactly where to go.<\/p>\n

Type S: Chiaki\u2019s Journey II Volume 4<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

First off, you\u2019ll have to get through the initial tutorial and get back to Hyrule proper, so it will take you at least two or so hours to get to the Hylian Shield\u2019s resting place. But once you\u2019re back on the surface after Link\u2019s trip to the sky, getting our hero\u2019s signature shield is a pretty quick detour. You\u2019ll just have to fly to the docks underneath Hyrule Castle.<\/p>\n

To accomplish this in the early hours, your best bet is to do some of the story missions first. Meet with Purah at Central Square, and help her set up the Skyview Tower. Doing this will get you the paraglider, which will be extremely helpful in getting to the Hylian Shield (and for just traveling anywhere in Hyrule, really). Once you\u2019ve acquired this gift from Purah, grab a bow and arrow and head to Hyrule Castle itself. You won\u2019t need to actually enter the floating, cursed hellscape yet, so don\u2019t worry about having to fight any endgame-level enemies. Instead, you\u2019ll just need to navigate around it until you reach the back side of its perimeter, to the north. You can do this by climbing around the rock formations on either side of the castle grounds, or by running straight through the castle itself if you\u2019re bold.<\/p>\n

Once you reach the northern side, drop down to the lower depths underneath the floating castle, where you\u2019ll find an opening that looks like it was once for boats in the before times. Here you\u2019ll find the Hyrule Castle docks. The space is covered with some powerful enemies and corruption that will likely be best avoided if you\u2019re coming here early on, but luckily, we don\u2019t have to go in too deep to find the Hylian Shield.<\/p>\n

Upon reaching the docks, you\u2019ll notice a long staircase that leads to a higher level with a brazier surrounded by torches. Using your bow, aim an arrow through one of the torches and shoot into the brazier. Doing this will raise a chest from the floor, and inside you\u2019ll find Link\u2019s iconic Hylian Shield. It has a base defense stat of 90, higher than any other shield in the game. So if you want the best item in the game for all your blocking and parrying needs, the Hylian Shield is a relatively quick and easy grab, even if you\u2019re beginning your journey in Hyrule.<\/p>\n

How do I find a replacement Hylian Shield?<\/h2>\n

Unlike the Master Sword<\/span>, however, the shield can<\/em> break if it\u2019s hit enough times, so even the best shield in the game is susceptible to Tears of the Kingdom<\/em>\u2019s<\/span> weapon degradation. It\u2019s also possible to lose the shield after getting electrocuted by an enemy in battle. That\u2019s how I lost it, and let me tell you, I was devastated<\/em>. Luckily, there\u2019s a way to replace it should it break or go missing.<\/p>\n

To get a replacement Hylian Shield, you\u2019ll need to complete the four-part quest The Mayoral Election in Hateno Village. Visit Cece\u2019s Ventest Clothing Boutique. After a conversation between shopkeeper Cece and the current Mayor Reede, the two will decide to have an election to shape the future of the village. Then you\u2019ll have to do four quests, all within Hateno Village: One for both candidates and another for their family members Clavia and Sophie, who can be found at Reede\u2019s home and Cece\u2019s shop, respectively. All of this culminates in a final scene in which Cece\u2019s shop opens up for business.<\/p>\n

Cece has what she calls a \u201cprivate collection of rarities.\u201d but what this actually means is she can sell you any of the original loot you\u2019ve found throughout your journey but might\u2019ve sold or lost along the way. This includes the Hylian Shield, which will run you a whopping 3,000 rupees, but you\u2019ll be reunited with the best shield in the game. So it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
