Where to find Hylian Shield in Zelda BoTW

The famous Hyrulean shield is hidden deep within Hyrule Castle. It’s in one of the deepest dungeons in Hyrule Caste Underground. The castle is located on the northern edge of the Central Hyrule area. Once you’re inside, just travel downwards and look for a large, round room with a giant skeleton in the middle.


How to get Hylian Shield in Breath of The Wild

In order to get the shield, you’ll have to beat the Stalnox boss – the giant skeleton with one eye. Save your game manually before the fight, so you don’t have to backtrack in case you die.

Obviously, the eye is his weak spot. You can get a few hits in before he assembles. Once he’s up, shoot him in the eye. It will stagger him. While he’s sitting there, holding his eye, strike him with everything you’ve got. As soon as he starts to get up again, run away or he’ll sit on you. Repeat the process several times. When he’s out of health, his eye will fall out. Destroy it or he’ll reassemble.


Once you’re done, a chest will appear, with the shield inside. Don’t forget to pick up the stray weapons and ingredients as well, they’re sure to come in handy.

Where to buy Hylian Shield when it breaks

Hylian Shield has a very high durability which means it takes a long time before it breaks. When it breaks, it can not be repaired, but you can buy a new one. The merchant you are looking for is named Grante. Grante is a secret vendor in Zelda BotW who can be found in Tarrey Town. This vendor allows you to buy back weapons and armors you’ve sold or broken.

    Not actually unbreakable when you get it. Just watched the shield break after tanking 23-24 shots from the laser turrets in the castle.

        When the Hylian Shield breaks, it’s gone. But a certain NPC will sell a replacement to you. Only after you’ve picked the first one up though. He’s in Terry Town, once the From the Ground up quest is done.
