Does the Hylian Shield break after a Guardian Blast

zelda-breath-of-the-wild

I usually try parrying or using Daruk's protection, but I'm wondering does the Hylian Shield break after a guardian blast? My parrying skills aren't exactly reliable.

Best Answer

The Hylian shield, assuming it has not taken any damage before, can withstand 27 guardian blasts before breaking. It will only break after a single blast if it has taken substantial damage beforehand. This should give you some leeway in case you don't parry.
