What's with the Knight's shield?
In many Zelda games, the hylian shield is classified as the standard knight's shield that every knight has. You can buy it from the marketplace in OoT and if you lose it in botw/totk you can buy another one (or maybe it's a replica).
So if the hylian shield is the standard knight's shield. Why does the Knight's shield exist in botw and totk? Which one is the real standard issue shield? I understand the royal and royal guard weaponry since royal guards are not the same as knights, but I don't understand the Knight's shield in specific. And how come link isn't a royal guard if he's specifically assigned to be Zelda's knight? Wouldn't that make him a royal guard since he's guarding royalty?
In tears of the kingdom he would just be her knight since she isn't royalty anymore after the calamity happened. But during the flashbacks why was link simply just a knight?
And WHAT SWORD DO THE KNIGHTS USE WITH THE HYLIAN SHIELD IF IT IS THE STANDARD ISSUE??
Someone please Im dying from not having any answers.
