“If you open up your game right now, I bet only 7.5 of you have the steel lizal shield actually in your inventory.” Me: pulls up my game with fifteen 10+ guard Hylian shields.
@@Little_Lu better stop hating on the travellers stuff 😡 I dedicated multiple wall mounts in one of my botw playthroughs for the travellers stuff bc it is my favourite stuff (just messing btw, mostly, I’m glad to how found some quality Zelda content)
idrc what people say, i like to buy the tunic of memories, wear hylian trousers, then i equip a travelers shield, bow, and a soldiers broadsword for that botw nostalgia
Yeah the Gerudo shields (Gerudo, Radiant, and Daybreaker) all have lower shield surf friction than most other shields, Minds Eye also has the same effect, and in BOTW the Ancient Shield is the best in that sense. But in TOTK, you can just fuse carts, sleds, ice, icy meats, etc to add that friction reduction, so any shield can be viable for surfing. Also the Radiant, Steel Lizal, and Daybreaker have lower durability consumption while surfing, allowing you to surf longer on them!
Actually, the Radiant shield was the best for shield surfing in BOTW, with the Ancient shield at a close second. I'm not sure if that carried over to TOTK but it might've. Fusing a cart to a shield creates a sort of fragile skateboard while a sled paired with certain environments can allow one to surf indefinitely.
Those bumps actually serve an important purpose for round non curved heater shields. They provide a surface to actually deflect weapons instead of just taking the full brunt of a blow It’s the reason heater shields are curved and also why any actually well designed plate armor is rounded to guide weapons away from holes and vulnerable areas Editing this… I hit post immediately before you explained how bosses work lmao
The normal zonai shield can be fun if you stick big stuff onto it, like a piece of amber or Diamond or a dragon spike shard. Looks like you're dual wielding. The radiant shield is really good for shield surfing. If you want to try a new playstyle you can fuse a Royal shield to the gloom club, or a sea breeze shield to a biggoron sword. Fun parrying practice until you get bored of it after a couple minutes.
I didn't expect the Rusted Shield to have better durability than the decorative shields. Guess the rust doesn't matter too much as far as low-tier shields are concerned.
Bro forgot to mention the burning of wooden shields and the lighting-attraction of metal shields that don't apply to zonaite shields. That alone makes them one of the most viable kinds of shields in the game. At least in my opinion.
@Little_L Thank You So Much For Your Great Video About The Many Shields Of Tears Of The Kingdom!!! You're Super Awesome & I'm So Glad You're Doing Videos Again!!! 💪😎👍
The Radiant Shield is top of A tier in my opinion. It looks pretty, has the highest shield surfing durability out of any repairable shield, and the lowest friction. Also, 10:16 Little_L caught BEING A HUMAN and MAKING A MISTAKE!1!1!!111!1!!!
in terms of accessability, i think the royal guard's shield is the best. I've reached a point where I dont use the hylian shield (cuz ill get bored too quickly) and the royal guard's shield is my personal favourite
If I remember right the gerudo shields have good or average shield surfing stats( and radiant or day breaker has the best), could be wrong I just vaguely remember it like that bc I did the glitch to get the shield surf up modifier
Also about the gerudo shields being better at shield surfing ik that the radiant shield takes less damage whilst shield surfing but idk about the plain gerudo shield EDIT the reason you should use radiant shield for surfing instead of day breaker is because radiant shield can be repaired be rock ocktorocks
The Radiant shield is the best shield for shield surfing(even better than Sheikah/kite)since it has a shield surf friction of 0.1 and a shield surf durability lost rate of 0.6. For the Daybreaker shield, its durability lost rate is 0.5 and the friction is 1(normal) O(∩_∩)O
I Literally thought While watching this video Huh what kind of idiot Has Only Savage Lynel shields and The Hylian Shield Before I looked at my inventory which perfectly fit my description🤣
Ah ah, I could name the base durability of all the relevant shields in the game (aka the ones with 20 and more). The game never let us know that, but I learned them by heart just because it's way too useful to have that information/ xD
Yes you can. Type ‘sea breeze shield’ in the Zelda mods interactive map and then you can locate it easily. A chest is always a one time only reward so it’s unrenewable unfortunately. But of course, you can simply buy one from Cece afterwards, or using glitches such as SLD/Overload drop/Zuggle(side effect)to duplicate it
I'll bet it was considered but it was probably distracting. There's already enough decision-making with inventory management, looking at remain durability numbers would just be another thing keeping you in the menu and out of gameplay.
