So You Want the Hylian Shield in Tears of the Kingdom? Buckle Up, Buttercup! (With a dash of Austin John Plays)
Ah, the Hylian Shield. The legend, the myth, the object that makes Bokoblins weep and Moblins reconsider their life choices. You, adventurer extraordinaire, obviously crave its presence in your arsenal. But how do you get your grubby mitts on this legendary defender? Well, my friend, prepare for a whirlwind because unlike getting rupees from koroks, this ain't exactly a walk in the park.
Here's the Lowdown (Austin John Plays Not Included):
There are two main approaches to snag the Hylian Shield, and each has its own level of "hold my Korok seed" intensity.
The Aquatic Approach (For the Zora Wannabes): Channel your inner shark and head to the northern docks of Hyrule Castle. There, a lonely raft awaits, beckoning you towards adventure (or at least a seriously cool shield). Sail north until you find another set of docks – this, my friend, is your destination. Just be prepared for some unwelcome guests – a gaggle of creepy Gloom hands might decide you look like a tasty snack. Fight, flight, or fancy footwork – it's entirely up to you (though Austin John Plays might recommend some bombs).
The Glider Gauntlet (For the Birds of a Feather): Feeling more like a champion paraglider than a seafaring soul? Head to Skyview Tower and take a majestic leap of faith, aiming for the docks near Hyrule Castle. Just remember, this ain't a leisurely sightseeing trip. You might encounter a not-so-friendly Gloom Master and his even less pleasant buddy, Phantom Ganon. But hey, what's a little apocalyptic duel between legendary adventurers and spooky baddies? (Again, Austin John Plays might have some pointers on swift takedowns.)
Once you've navigated the path less adorable (because let's face it, Bokoblins are adorable), here's the grand finale:
QuickTip: Ask yourself what the author is trying to say.
There'll be some strategically placed torches just begging for a fire-y kiss. Light 'em up (with a fire arrow, a flaming sword, or whatever fire-starting fancy tickles your pickle) and – poof! – a glorious chest containing the Hylian Shield materializes. Easy peasy, right? (Cue nervous laughter)
