Strategy Guide/Tips[edit]

  • You don't have to unlock the Shield Surf ability, Link knows it from the start. Hold ZL, jump, hit A while still in the air.
  • Shield Surfing is a quick and fun way to descend the tall mountains in the game.
  • Surfing on the grass consumes some durability
  • Surfing on rocks consumes more durability
  • Surfing on snow does not consume much durability
  • Use cheap shields such as the Pot Lid to shield surf, especially on rough terrain, so that you don't damage your better shields.
  • Shield surfing is featured in at least one minigame which involves racing a Goron down a mountain.
