== Lore ==
Dark Hylian Shields were originally normal Hylian Shields stolen from soldiers of Hyrule. They were corrupted with dark magic during the Last Great War of Hyrule for use by the Dark Army. The shields were used to mock Hyrule and were often used by officers or skilled warriors.
== Background and Inspiration ==
The Corrupt Shield was originally included in a standalone mod with the Hylian Shield, and was later integrated into the first version of Relics of Hyrule. The shield's corruption system was left intact when the mod was merged.
The Corrupt Shield is based on the appearance of Dark Link's shield from Super Smash Bros. Brawl (seen here on the far right).
