The Hylian Shield can be obtained from a treasure chest that appears when you enter the side hole of the Docks outside Hyrule Castle and light the candlestick. It can be easily obtained from the beginning of the game, so go get it early.
Best Bow - Savage Lynel Bow
Savage Lynel Bow Stats

Effect | 1 shot can fire 3 arrows in a row |
---|---|
Attack | 32×3 |
Triple Damage Is Very Strong
The attack power is per shot, and the damage is increased according to the number of hits in a barrage. If the Bow has a 3-shot function, it can do up to 3 times the damage!
Better Used As A Melee Attack
Lynel's Bow has an excellent continuous fire feature, but the range is short and not suitable for long distances. The three arrows also spread out horizontally, so the closer to the target, the more powerful it is.
How To Get The Savage Lynel Bow
Obtained From Lynel, A Powerful Enemy In Each Map
Savage Lynel Bow is held by Lynel. It can be obtained by defeating the powerful enemy Lynel which is located throughout Hyrule. Check the map to find where it is.
