I usually try parrying or using Daruk's protection, but I'm wondering does the Hylian Shield break after a guardian blast? My parrying skills aren't exactly reliable.

The Hylian shield, assuming it has not taken any damage before, can withstand 27 guardian blasts before breaking. It will only break after a single blast if it has taken substantial damage beforehand. This should give you some leeway in case you don't parry.
6The Hylian Shield has the highest durability of any shield in the game; however, it will still eventually break.
Once you complete the Tarrey Town quest, Grante can sell you a new one for 3000 rupees.
6The Hylian Shield will not break on the FIRST guardian blast but it will break from a guardian blast once it has been hit a lot of times.
