🛡️ Module introduction
Replace your favorite shield with the iconic Hylian shield from the Legend of Zelda series! This mod perfectly recreates the classic look of the Hylian shield, including correct controller placement and usable cutscene textures.
✨ Version selection
- **Twilight Princess Version** - The author recommended version, the model is more refined
- **Breath of the Wild version** - retains the classic design for players who like the original style to choose from
🔧 Installation instructions
**Replaces blue patterned heated shield by default**, but you can also replace any other shield:
- Change "2037" in the file name to the equipment model ID of the shield you want to replace.
- For example: change "wp_a_2037.partsbnd.dcx" to "wp_a_2203.partsbnd.dcx"
- Also modify the corresponding _l file
📝 *Weapon model ID list file is included to facilitate your search and replacement*
🗺️ Get location
The blue-striped heating shield can be purchased from the Nomadic Trader in the northwest of Lake Lienia, near the Blessing Point of Belum Church, for 1,500 runes.
💡 PRO TIP
**Want the protection of a large shield but don’t want the weird look of a Hylian shield? **
Use Yapped RuneBear to modify protection stability:
- Path: EquipParamWeapon → Row 31300000 → Guard Stability
- Increase the protection stability to 65 to obtain protection equivalent to a large shield.
- When set to 100, it is equivalent to activating the barrier shield (blocking attacks does not consume stamina)
🎨 Model source
- **Twilight Princess Version**: Twilight Princess Link model based on Hakirya
- **Breath of the Wild Version**: Lifted directly from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
📦 Installation method
**Method 1: Mod Engine 2**

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
