How to Shield Surf in Zelda: Tears of Kingdom

How to Do Shield Surf

After getting the shield, now you can do Shield Surfing. Make sure the area you choose to surf is on sloping terrain. Shield Surfing cannot be done on flat areas.

Next, you simply press the Parry button (ZL) while pressing the X and A buttons simultaneously to make Link tuck his shield under his feet and start sliding.

When skating, make sure to avoid various obstacles that could potentially make Link fall. He will automatically remove his shield when he reaches the end of the slope.

In addition, you should have more than 1 shield as a backup at all times. This is because the Shield Surfing ability can cause the shield to break quickly.

By providing more than one shield, you can keep one of them as personal protection when in battle.

The existence of the Shield Surfing method certainly really helps Link to save stamina for both himself and the horse he usually rides.

There are many good areas to do Shield Surf, so you can divide your stamina to move and use Shield Surf at certain times.

The game Zelda: Tears of Kingdom also introduces a new ability for Link called Fuse.

With Fuse, you can combine various different materials and other objects into Link's weapons and shields.

As an alternative, you can combine Minecart items with Link's shield to make a skateboard. You can use this combination to travel quickly on flat terrain.

Even though you have these advantages, please note that the resistance of your shield will also decrease faster than before.
