Hylian Shield - The Legend of Zelda
The Hylian Shield is a recurring Shield in The Legend of Zelda series. It is the traditional Shield bore by the Knights of Hyrule and is commonly used by Link in 3D Zelda games.Unlike Wooden Shields, the Hylian Shield will not burn upon contact with fire.Though it is made of steel, it is light and sturdy, an optimal weight for a fighter with a one-handed weapon. Throughout the Zelda games, the Hylian Shield has changed little in terms of overall appearance, always bearing the symbol of the Triforce and, beneath it, a red Hylian Crest representing the goddess Hylia and the Crimson Loftwing that helped Link at the founding of Hyrule.
The first Hylian Shield was a legendary Shield guarded by the Thunder Dragon Lanayru, who created the Lightning Round to judge whether someone would be worthy of wielding the Shield.
