To do so, you must complete the Side Quest - From the Ground Up - where you must help Hudson build Tarrey Town at Lake Akkala in the Akkala Region. If indeed you do lose the Hylian Shield, fret not - it can be reclaimed.

It also has 800 durability - the strongest of any shield by far, and will take many MANY guardian laser blasts to destroy. When the Stalnox is defeated, a chest will appear containing the iconic Hylian Shield, which boasts extreme durability and a whopping 90 defense. Use Bomb Arrows to dislodge the eye when he's not covering it with his hand, and use powerful weapons to deal as much damage to the eye as you can. The secret to dealing massive damage to the Stalnox lies in shooting out its eye (preferably with strong attacks like Bomb Arrorws) and chasing it around the room to damage it before the Stalnox grabs its eye and put it back in its socket.
