Where to find the Hylian Shield in Zelda TotK
To find the Hylian Shield, you must arrive at the Castle Town Prison island west of the Hyrule Castle. Follow the road towards the north, and you will arrive at a dock. You can either build your raft using Zonai Devices like fans and batteries or use the wooden raft already available there.
Whichever you choose, ride it and make your way into docks inside a cave on the northeast side of the Hyrule Castle.
There, get on the staircase platform. On the platform, you will face Gloom Spawn Hands in Zelda TotK. You can get past them or kill them by shooting arrows at them with any bomb attachment.
