The Hylian shield is unique gameplay element that allows link to block projectiles on the upper/lower of his body whilst standing or crouching, while not holding an item.
The most common use for Hylian Shield is when your bomb is reflected or thrown back via throw, powershield, reflection, etc. You are able to regrab the bomb after the Hylian Shield blocks it with jab.
About:
- Can block all projectile entities. Including Shiek needles, Samus Charge Shot, Mewtwo Shadow Ball, Turnip, and Spacie Lasers
- Hylian shield takes hitlag but no hitstun or shieldstun.
- Crouching while using the Hylian shield will incur less hit lag due to crouch cancel being active.
Shield Yielding
Shield yielding is when your hylian shield bubble appears where it was last active for a frame instead of where Link currently is. This glitch can be caused by first letting the shield be activate to “plant it” then NIL to make it appear there for 1 frame before going back to Links hand.
