The best shield to surf on is OBVIOUSLY the Pot Lid, just like how it's the best for fighting Lynels

Robbie: Link, I put together a new shield for you, since all your others keep breaking. I call it (little feet stomp) The Ancient Shield! (Guitar Riff) This shield is capable of deflecting Guardian lasers without the need to parry, effectively nullifying the danger they pose to you. It’s also quite durable as well, so it should take you a bit longer to break it. (Hands Link the shield and turns around) I’ve also had Cherry create some more Ancient Arrows for you as well. (Turning around) By the way Link, how do you keep breaki- Link: Shield surfing away Robbie: Link why

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.

Hylian Shields in other games: “This shield is an unbreakable line of defense, used by this Kingdom’s fine knights in the name of the goddess Hylia.” Hylian Shield in BotW: “it’s the surfboard that breaks the slowest lmao”

I can only imagine how much time the devs at Nintendo spent fine tuning all these variables

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.

When shield surfing, press "R" to do sharp turns... Just putting that out there

Interestingly 5 out of the 6 shields you mentioned and used are directly mentioned by Selmie the resident shield surfing champ. She even comments on them if equipped and only those all, ironically she knew the hidden stats the whole time!

Zelda says she's been watching you. I wonder what she was thinking when she was watching Link breacking every shield he has surfing down slopes and surfing off a cliff.

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 don't have a Switch, yet I'm intrigued by Breath of the Wild so much that I still watch your videos

that moment when you realize that the Kite Shield doesn't do anything for Shield Surfing: We've been tricked. We've been backstabbed. And we've been quite possibly, bamboozled. Edit: This comment fucking sucks, why tf did it get popular?

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

Oh cool new Croton video! ..... ... ...... goes back to playing Animal Crossing

I thought when it rained grass would no longer take durability, interesting.

Fun fact: The Ancient Shield actually hovers above the ground when surfing. It's really cool.

"you can travel faster than just about any other method using it" me windbombing across the map

“Now you should hopefully be able to use this more effectively” Continues to break shields and fall down mountain and almost kills oneself

Its cool that snow doesn't deal damage to the shield. And sand does to :D
