Being one of the most unique abilities in Breath of the Wild, Shield surfing is a really fun, and even practical way to travel across the world of Hyrule!! However, in order to surf most effectively, there are a lot of hidden stats behind this ability that are very practical to know - such as hidden friction properties and different durability consumption ratios that can all change the way you surf in this game. So today, I thought I would go over all of the unique properties I found out about shield surfing through my research, so you can start coasting around Hyrule as EFFICIENTLY as possible!! I hope you all enjoy!! :D

I just found out that you can surf forever on the beach. I glitched the Hylian shield durability onto an ancient shield (not needed apparently) and surfed up and down the Rist Peninsula (the curly bit on the east coast) for an hour, gaining speed on seemingly flat ground. It works on all the beaches, just avoid the gravely bits. You can travel just about the whole coast in one go, there's some rocky bits and cliffs that'll mess you up, but even just standing in place and shield surfing again, you get back to speed in no time. The only time you'll stop is if you turn too hard too long.

Someone give this man an award. I have been looking for Shield statistics for a while. Seriously though, that Ancient Shield does everything. It has a somewhat high shield guard stat, it can reflect guardian lasers without needing to parry them, it's the second fastest shield for shield surfing, it consumes five times less durability while shield surfing, and it's not extremely hard to get if you're good at killing guardians or know of the duplication glitches in the game. To top it all off, it looks freaking awesome.

To anyone wondering, an ancient shield with the durability of the Hylian shield transferred onto it via menu overloading will last for a grand total of 15,996, which is roughly 4.5 hours of continuous surfing, not counting impact damage. Use this knowledge carefully. Or if you're like me, only have an inventory of durability glitched ancient shields

I knew that Radiant Shield was great for surfing, but it was only a feeling, I couldn't really tell why. The Radiant is my favorite shield in the game, I love its shape, colors, and now for sure its surfing stats. But also the Ancient shield has all those stats because it's pretty much a hoverboard, it floats above the ground, so less friction, and it doesn't touch the ground so less damage

So now that you’ve confirmed that the title of best Shield for Shield Surfing belongs to Ancient Shield..... I highly recommend anyone that hasn’t gotten the Hylian Shield to wait until it has a Durability Up+ Modifier. You can use menu overloading to *duplicate* the Shield before _transferring_ the durability over to a Ancient Shield for maximum Shield Surfing capabilities.

@colbauer1426 4 года назад

Excellent point! The Durability+ stat doesn't add much to the Hylian Shield's durability stat, as compared to other shields, so getting maxed out Shield Guard Up is typically seen as more impressive, as it goes from (an already impressive) 90 to a whopping 144

@skins4thewin 4 года назад

@@colbauer1426 I agree, I always go for he Guard Up buff for my Hylian Shield, that is when I am patient enough to wait to get it ;) I find Durability Up to be redundant, as you can easily buy another Hylian Shield from the secret vendor in Tarrey Town.

Question: How does the "durability damage over time" really get calculated by the game? Is the game counting frames your shield is on the ground per every time you mount the shield to links feet or is it counting consecutive frames the shield is touching the ground (or does it check in a different way)? Basically, can you bounce low enough to not cause impact damage at intervals of less than a second to conserve durability or theoretically surf infinitely?

@zeonmoo192 4 года назад

He explained it in the video, if the jump is minor it doesn't seem to take durability as opposed to getting full air time. And no, you can't shield surf indefinitely because the friction still takes durability, unless you're on snow or sand.

@Trikip_ 4 года назад

Hmm...Kleric has a video on transferring equipment durability, and long story short a glitch allows you to give any shield one point less then the hylian shield’s durability. Assuming I’m right and that means 799, (I’m going off the assumption that the hylian shield has 800 durability points) the ancient shield could become the ULTIMATE shield surfing shield.

I am just wondering if gliding down and landing on the sheald causes IT to takde impact damedge?

@Croton 4 года назад

It does!! Any sort of fall causes a shield to take impact damage 😅

Possibly in the future!! It's definitely been a while, but I plan on doing Animal Crossing first 😅

So pressing Y to spin on a shield doesn't save durability? That's a shame.

@jesselee1031 4 года назад

Patrick Riedler -I honestly thought it made you go faster lmao did that a lot doing the shield surfing game in the mountains atleast it looks badass

@rysea9855 4 года назад

It's just an animation, you're still technically on the ground even if it doesn't look like it. No durability lost, but also no durability saved.

@halt1931 4 года назад

Does the surfing "spinning" attack count as an impact? I used to try to use it to reduce durability use because it looked like Link spent the least amount of time on the ground, but if it does count as an impact, I guess it would be worse than just riding straight, right?

@fiend-off-the-grid 4 года назад

it's just an animation, it doesn't register as an impact

I just transferred the durability from a fresh Hylian shield and put it on an Ancient shield and duped a few of them, lol. Still haven't broken a single one yet

@rysea9855 4 года назад

Ancient shield is good, but radiant shield has better friction. I'd recommend having radiant shield too

@jdmagic 4 года назад

@@rysea9855 5% difference. Plus, the ancient shield has lower durability loss. 800 durability combined with the 0.2 is INSANE. Second, the ancient shield has a higher shield guard, plus it deflects lasers in case you miss a perfect parry. It also is probably the coolest looking shield in the game- in my opinion anyway. If you dont mind duping frequently, or dont dupe at all, then Radiant is awesome, but Ancient really is just a Jack of all Trades.

@yakarotsennin3115 4 года назад

jdsmagic It’s _the_ jack of all trades.

@rysea9855 4 года назад

@@jdmagic Ancient shield is expensive though, it requires a giant ancient core and a lot of rupees. Also it isn't as quite a 5 percent difference. If you have the ancient shield with 90% "efficiency" and the radiant shield with 95% "efficiency", the ancient shield will have 10% friction and the radiant shield 5%. Compared to 100% they are only 5% apart, but compared to eachother the radiant shield has half the friction, which means it can travel twice as far. Don't get me wrong, the ancient shield is amazing, but I'd recommend having a single radiant shield on you too, just for shield surfing. Maybe get one with a durability up bonus, or do the durability transfer glitch.

@jdmagic 4 года назад

@@rysea9855 that's what I said- I pointed out that I I durability transferred from a Hylian shield and then duped a bunch of them. And yes I understand Radiant is 2/3 of the Ancient because that's how percentages work. A 800 durability Ancient will last way longer than an 800 durability Radiant. Plus, the Ancient has a higher shield guard stat, and if you miss a perfect parry on a laser occasionally it reflects it automatically. If you dont mind duping frequently, or you dont dupe, or you want to fill up your inventory with them, then yes, radiant shields are great, but I'd prefer to not do that.

@jenniferchough 4 года назад

Just this past weekend, I was messing around in the Gerudo Desert. I didn't even start surfing from an incline but I went all the way from the cliffs near the 7 sages shrine to the shrine where Pokki is slumped over the Guidance Stone when you first get there. That's a LONG way and I surfed, at speed, on a flat even surface, all the way there from a standstill. I thought it was some kind of bug (I recorded it, even, because it was so strange) but now I know why....I was on the Radiant Shield. Thanks, Croton!
