I have to make a correction: The ancient shield is the best shield for shield surfing. The radiant shield is the fastest shield. It reduces friction by 90% but the ancient shield reduces friction by 85%. But every shield has a consumption rate of 1. Except a few:The ancient shield has a rate of 0.2.

Go early game, have full inventory of shields. Open chests for Hylian Shield. It's discovered, but you leave it in the chest. Now you can buy one in Tarrey Town (Flag checked for discovered and it isn't in inventory) and still return to check for a better Hylian Shield later as the chest was never flagged as looted.
Everybody knows the pot lid is the best shield, I've killed many Guardians with this bad boy. The Ancient Shield and Guardian Shield++ have always been my favorite shields.
I like the idea of transferring durability to Ancient Shield, maybe not to parry guardian lasers, but more for shield surfing, radiant shield works well for this purpose too (even more well than ancient one, but I still prefer ancient shield, cause it looks a lot better, especially at night)
Great video ! I’ll just add a few things : 1:35 in fact that’s false it can’t work since the modifier that gives this upgraded hylian shield appears only if you kill enough powerful monsters (black moblin/lizalfos/bokos or bosses/gardians/lynels) but yes, when this ranking system is checked you can save before the chest and reload it as many times as you want. Also, it doesn’t get a 1160 durability but a random durability between 1107 and 1160. Also a new glitch allows us to get both guard and durability up hylian shield. But its incredibly long and difficult so don’t do it, really
In Master Mode, it’s best to use a 2H weapon and spin attack them, but the Ancient Shield can be really handy too if your struggling with timing those lasers. Guardians fire lasers with different timings in Master Mode, making it difficult to deflect them at close range With the Ancient Shield, just hold it up and block, it won’t matter in the least what kind of timing a Guardian wants to fire at you
for me the best would be the radiant shield with the hylian shields max durability transfered over, i only use them for shield surf anyway (and the movement they give to do/setup windbombs)(but that doesnt really use a stat) :D
Useful stuff. Thank you. Definitely looking forward to that bow video. My favorite it the bow is the you get from the ancient tech lab though I'm curious where it stands when compared to the rest of the bows.
Ah, either way, I'll be more than happy. Learned a bunch of new things from this shield video. That cave blocked by boulders with the gear inside it over in the Gerudo Desert was surprising. It's amazing how much stuff is hidden within this game.
Hey! If you have damaged you hylian shield and now you want to transfer durability then there is a solution: In tarrey town there is a guy that sells the dlc armor and any armor you have sold When the hylian shield breaks he will offer you a new one!

I remember stumbling upon the Hylian shield while searching for Royal Guard gear. I thought it was unbreakable at first considering how much longer it lasted in comparison to other shields. Now I kind of wish I held off until I was capable of getting, and duping one with Durability Up. Maybe next play though. The Ancient shield looks like a futuristic hoverboard. I have been hoarding my Ancient cores, but it might be worth spending one just for that.
Thanks a lot for info! I just came apon a few of your videos, and I really enjoyed them. Thank you for all of these very useful and informative videos!
Technically there’s a hidden exp system and you have to kill a lot of enemies and not save and reload if you want that durability up hylian shield it took me in master mode so long I did most of the shrines and the whole champion ballad if that’s what I heard when you brung up the hylian shield.
Yeah. The more enemies you kill the more EXP Link gets, which levels up the enemies across Hyrule and also increases the chances of getting bonuses on Weapons. Most players are already in the late-game, but if you're starting a new run its recommended you wait until late game before trying to get the good stuff.
Everyone says the ancient shield is the best surfing shield but I always liked the radiant shield since it was so easy to get, got it so many times after using stasis to get in I realized you can actually jump on the first rock you move and get an angle to grab the metal rock inside the cave and easily clear it out.
TL;DR: The Hylian Shield with Durability Up + has a lot of range in its hidden durability stat, so you can test it with Guardian lasers to find a good one. I posted this in the "Missable Items and Opportunities in Zelda Breath of The Wild" video but thought it would be helpful here as well. Regarding the Hylian shield, it's easy to know if you got the max 144 Shield Guard Up + version, but if you're going for max Durability Up + version it's a lot more difficult to know if you got a "perfect" shield. It probably doesn't matter to most people, but if you're a perfectionist/completionist who wants the perfect stats for durability transfer, the Dur Up+ modifier will give you between +217 and +360 durability for a total durability of between 1017 and 1160. So with Dur Up+ shields there are 144 possibilities, and without testing the durability, there's no way of knowing what you got. Keep reading to find out how... I found a pretty reliable way of easily testing this though, and I used it to get one that was "good enough" (although not perfect, since I'm not patient enough for that). Once you've verified that you get a yellow mod when opening the Hylian Shield chest in Hyrule castle (need at least 9416.67 "experience" from killing enemies, well after the Lynels start turning Silver/Gold at 6000 points in normal/master mode), save your game after killing the Stalnox and making the chest appear (you'll also want to turn off Daruk's Protection before saving to make testing more consistent). Open the chest (which will create an auto-save) and verify that you got Dur Up + (if not, reload your manual save). What we're going to do next if open the map and press X to leave Hyrule castle. You will find yourself near the entrance and if you walk away from the castle just on your left there will be a Guardian Stalker. Pull out your Hylian Shield and let it repeatedly shoot its lasers at you. Each laser will take away 30 durability from your Hylian shield, so a normal 800 durability shield will break in 27 lasers (800 / 30 = 26.67, which rounds up to 27), but a Durability Up + shield will take between 34 to 39 shots before breaking (1017 / 30 = 33.9 which rounds up to 34, and 1160 / 30 = 38.67 which rounds up to 39). You can use this to tell approximately how good your shield is. You have two options here... if you just want something "good enough", just let the guardian keep shooting until it breaks. If it breaks after 38 or 39 laser shots and you're happy with that, just load the auto-save after you opened the chest and save your game to keep your shield. If you want something better, just reload your manual save before opening the chest and try for something better. If you want to go for the "perfect" shield though, having it break in 39 lasers doesn't tell you enough info, since the durability could be between 1141 and 1160. This still puts your shield in approximately the top 15% of Dur Up + Hylian shields, but maybe you want to be top 5% or 1% or get a perfect 1160. What you can do is let the guardian shoot lasers like above, but if your shield survives the 38th laser, put your shield away before it gets broken on the 39th laser. Then find an isolated enemy and let it attack you an count the hits before it breaks. The 90 shield guard should be enough to ensure it only takes 1 durability loss from most enemies, but there are a few Gold enemies in the game with big weapons that can do more, so to be safe I just went to the Great Plateau and fought a lone Bokoblin. Your shield has lost 1140 durability from the 38 laser blasts, so count how many attacks you block from the Bokoblin and add that to 1140 to get your total durability. A perfect shield would withstand the 38 laser blasts then another 20 attacks from a weak enemy. The shield I ended up keeping on my Normal mode survived 38 lasers plus 10 attacks, so it has a durability of 1150, which was good enough for me since I don't have the patience to keep loading and taking lasers in hope of getting a better one. Sorry for the long response, but hopefully someone finds this useful since I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere!
I killed the Stalnox pretty early during my playthrough and whenever I reloaded for the hylian shield, it was always a clean 90 defense. If I leave the chest unopened and progress through the game, will the shield still be clean or will it have a modifier?
I’m surprised you didn’t include the daybreaker shield here. It has 3x the durability of the savage lynel shield and still has a really high shield guard. I end up always opting for that one since it’s the highest durability outside of the hero’s shield amibo and of course the hylian shield.
He's using the Durability transfer glitch, which makes the Daybreaker obsolete, since every shield will have the Hylian Shield's durability. In that case, the Daybreaker simply cannot compare to the sheer utility the other shields have, like the Savage Lynel Shield dealing damage on parry, Ancient Shield auto deflecting Guardian's beam and being excellent at surfing, Radiant Shield having the highest speed while surfing, etc.
If you don want to go to hyrule castle you can also get the royal guard shield in a chest when you kill the Molduking, i advise to save game since the shield does not always appear
If you've only completed three divine beasts, the spawns in the Coliseum all carry various royal weapons and shields. after you've completed all divine beasts they all carry elemental weapons. great place to stock up after every blood moon. I don't even bother fighting the spawns, i just fly in, hit them with shock arrows, and pick up what they drop.
I can't help but notice something: he's supposed to have the max shield guard up for all his shields (except hylian and ancient), but most of his shields don't! Here are the shields: Hunter's shield, which can go up to 15, but he left it at 3. Same thing for the emblazoned shield. True, he has 14 on his fisherman's shield, but it can go higher. There's also the soldier's shield, which can go up to 39, but he left at 34. THen there's the forest dweller's shield, which can go up to 42, but he left it at 39. And the sliver shield, which can go up to 44, but he left it at 42. Also, the dragonbone Boko shield also comes up short as it can go up to 48. Plus, the Guardian shield++ can go up to 54, so it comes up short. And considering There's only 1 chest with a hunter's shield and 1 chest for the fisherman's shield He's screwed on that account. To anyone reading this comment, Be smart about this.
What if I just started a new run, what are some shields I can easily get while at least being good enough to use for a while at the beginning of the game
The problem with the best items in this game is that you cannot use them since there is no repair functionality. I end up using only mid-tier swords and bows since I don't want to break the best ones. Hylian shield isn't even replaceable, so that's a define no-no in all situations. I hope they adjust the mechanics in the sequel.
I finally got that durability up+ hylian shield! Took me so long to do but it was worth it, I used your tutorial to duplicate it and got an ancient shield. Love your tutorials!!
Using durability transfer, the only shields worth having are Ancient Shields and Savage Lynel Shields….Ancient Shield can deflect lasers by simply blocking (HANDY in Master Mode) and Savage Lynel Shields can do damage (not as useful, but it’s something….and I suppose it’s good to just hold on to your Hylian Shield too since it has the best defense rating
How would I be able to get side grades to the Hylian shield? I've tried save loading and it didn't work. And I've tried for a long time. is there a way I can get it while I already Have it saved at my house?
These videos have been fantastically informative, however I'm thinking there may be one thing that needs to be cleared up: As far as I'm aware, getting a Hylian Shield with Durability Up+ does _not_ automatically guarantee you one with 1160 durability, despite every video mentioning shield durability transfer essentially giving that impression. According to that spreadsheet of values that most of us have seen by now, DU+ on the Hylian Shield has a variable range of 217 to 360 added durability. So, unless the spreadsheet is mistaken, or the scaling mechanic eventually guarantees that all rolled bonuses on chest items in the game are maxed out after grinding up however many scaling points... It's in no way guaranteed that even the shield in this video has 1160 durability. (Of course, on a shield that most people struggle to break even at the base value of 800, this isn't exactly a reason to erase an entire save file. Durability Up+ would _still guarantee_ a Hylian Shield with _at least_ 1017 durability.)
@@100PercentZelda Right, and I dunno about you but personally I'd rather just accept the knowledge that my shield had at least 1017 durability. ... And I say that as someone who's sat there and manually confirmed that transferring durability to more than 1 weapon at a time (ie. without refreshing the menu overload completely) gives each subsequent weapon an additional -1 durability per weapon that came before it (eg. using the DU+ Biggoron Sword, the 1st weapon gets 110 durability, 2nd weapon gets 109, 3rd gets 108, etc...). Looking forward to whatever videos you have coming up! Perhaps ways to farm the other dragons?
my favorite moment with an ancient shield was when i accidently found the lair of the teleport marker. found it by accident and was immediately targeted by 8 guardians. without the ancient shield there was no way i was gonna parry or dodge that many beams. love you auto parry!
You say to save, then open the chest, and keep loading until you get the shield you want. You said the same in your weapons video. I'm confused, are the items in the chests random?
sorry. I wish I was more specific. The item will be the same, but the mod (guard up, attack up, durability up. etc.) will be different. However the farther you are in the game, the more chances of a higher mod. So if the one you want isn't popping out. leave it there for later
I use a guardian shield+ with the hylian shield's durability because I think it looks cool but I also have an ancient shield with the hylian's durability
I think he forgot the kite shield which is the best for surfing. There are only three in the game and they don't respawn so they are rare. Still great video.
If you're going to use the duplication glitch and durability transfer, wouldn't the +144 shield guard version of the hylian shield be better than the durability up version because you other shields will still have a durability of 799 which is a lot, you will have multiple full durability hylian shields, and if they ever get low you can just reset the durability back to 799? Which then means all shields would benefit from having the max shield guard as their buff since all your shields will be 799.
This is all true. This is debate on its own, so it's kind of just based on opinion. I choose durability so those other shields just last even longer. Its just less times I would have to transfer durability again.
It is a matter of opinion, but I choose durability up. The reason being that I can transfer it's durability to other shields, making them last even longer. The other reason being that there are only very few attacks against link that are greater than 90. 144 guard isn't needed. But again, it's a matter of opinion
Yes, that’s why I asked this question. I’ve seen so many different opinions on this..some people prefer the Shield Guard Up + modifier since they think that the base Hylian shield already has more than enough durability so the Durability Up + modifier would be a waste. But yeah, I agree that there are very few circumstances where the Shield Guard Up + would be useful, probably only against Golden Lynels and a Golden Moblin.
@@100PercentZelda Is there a list of which monsters requires which shield defense stat? What monster(s) has attacks that require more than 90 defense on a shield? And which monster requires the highest shield stat?
@@100PercentZelda So a Gold Lynel using a 108 damage crusher would technically require you to have a shield with 168 defense stat to work the most efficiently? Is that how it works?
Which Hylian Shield is better? I plan on doing the durability transfer glitch but the shield up looks so good. Lol my original file got messed up doing the Bow of Light glitch so might as well start over
Did you save scum for the max durability hylian shield? If yes how did you test it? Coz the guard up+ being visible (easier to min-max) is pulling me away from durability+. Just recently found your channel. Having a lot of fun watching your vids.

I will soon post a video of me doing the glitch, but I don't know how soon I will post an actual tutorial video. For now, if you need it, you may search for some through youtube.
Hello! Just a quick question for getting the buffed hylian shield. Am I supposed to save before the fight with the skeleton hinox or after I beat it and the chest spawns. Second if I need to defeat any divine beats. Like with amiibos not locking their weapon drops until you complete a divine beast
Hey 100 Percent Zelda, amazing video as always, playing on Master Mode right now and I am trying to get mods on my Hylia Shield. I've tried reloading for a long time now and for some reason it doesn't work though and it always stays at 90 defense. I don't even get a durability upgrade, do you maybe know why this is happening?
SO! Something very important. If you do new game + with hylian sheild max durability. Then you get hylian sheild with max defense. You durability transfer. And then duplicate. You have the best sheild possible in the game. The only problem with that combination is that it attracts lightning and it is not the best for parrying and sheild serfing. Also you can get multiple hylian sheilds with the master sword glitch
Hi, i am french so sorry for my level in english. I have a question, i used 4 object maps and when i go to a treasure chest with a « soldier’s shield », i got a royal shield. Why please ?
Well that sucks. I got the Hylian shield in two different save profiles, and neither one has any special modifiers. It's just the regular 90 with it's standard durability and nothing else. Does that mean it's too late to get a better one?
Is it weird for me to say that on my main save I have like 6 savage lynels shields? I got them when I was farming savage lynel bows to overload my inventory.
How do u duplicate that should u spoke about? Also I have some good shields but no upgrades on them is there a double of each shield in the game I can go find when i level up a bit that way I have chance get it with upgrades
I'm doing a shirtless challenge . . . My hylian shield broke, I can't buy a new one because Fyson won't talk to me. I can't get the daybreaker because I can't get into gerudo town, so I need the third best shield in the game.
Do you get the 1160 durability once you soft reset for the Hylian shield durability+? Or is the value still random? If it’s random how can you tell since the durability value is never shown
To get both a duribibity up and guard up Hylian shield you have to do a new game+ file and get enough xp for them without dying, then you get one of the modded shields and then do the glitch at the end. I know this because I watched klerics vid about this and I did it myself and got two hylian sheilds without duping
You know this is something that has crossed my mind, but it would take some time to make something like this, especially having to go through the whole thing again and make footage. I'm not saying no because a part of me wants to, but I know for sure, I don't think it would be any time soon. You'll probably get through it by the time i make it =P

TL;DR: The Hylian Shield with Durability Up + has a lot of range in its hidden durability stat, so you can test it with Guardian lasers to find a good one.
I posted this in the "Missable Items and Opportunities in Zelda Breath of The Wild" video but thought it would be helpful here as well. Regarding the Hylian shield, it's easy to know if you got the max 144 Shield Guard Up + version, but if you're going for max Durability Up + version it's a lot more difficult to know if you got a "perfect" shield. It probably doesn't matter to most people, but if you're a perfectionist/completionist who wants the perfect stats for durability transfer, the Dur Up+ modifier will give you between +217 and +360 durability for a total durability of between 1017 and 1160. So with Dur Up+ shields there are 144 possibilities, and without testing the durability, there's no way of knowing what you got. Keep reading to find out how...
I found a pretty reliable way of easily testing this though, and I used it to get one that was "good enough" (although not perfect, since I'm not patient enough for that). Once you've verified that you get a yellow mod when opening the Hylian Shield chest in Hyrule castle (need at least 9416.67 "experience" from killing enemies, well after the Lynels start turning Silver/Gold at 6000 points in normal/master mode), save your game after killing the Stalnox and making the chest appear (you'll also want to turn off Daruk's Protection before saving to make testing more consistent). Open the chest (which will create an auto-save) and verify that you got Dur Up + (if not, reload your manual save).
What we're going to do next if open the map and press X to leave Hyrule castle. You will find yourself near the entrance and if you walk away from the castle just on your left there will be a Guardian Stalker. Pull out your Hylian Shield and let it repeatedly shoot its lasers at you. Each laser will take away 30 durability from your Hylian shield, so a normal 800 durability shield will break in 27 lasers (800 / 30 = 26.67, which rounds up to 27), but a Durability Up + shield will take between 34 to 39 shots before breaking (1017 / 30 = 33.9 which rounds up to 34, and 1160 / 30 = 38.67 which rounds up to 39). You can use this to tell approximately how good your shield is.
You have two options here... if you just want something "good enough", just let the guardian keep shooting until it breaks. If it breaks after 38 or 39 laser shots and you're happy with that, just load the auto-save after you opened the chest and save your game to keep your shield. If you want something better, just reload your manual save before opening the chest and try for something better.
If you want to go for the "perfect" shield though, having it break in 39 lasers doesn't tell you enough info, since the durability could be between 1141 and 1160. This still puts your shield in approximately the top 15% of Dur Up + Hylian shields, but maybe you want to be top 5% or 1% or get a perfect 1160. What you can do is let the guardian shoot lasers like above, but if your shield survives the 38th laser, put your shield away before it gets broken on the 39th laser. Then find an isolated enemy and let it attack you an count the hits before it breaks. The 90 shield guard should be enough to ensure it only takes 1 durability loss from most enemies, but there are a few Gold enemies in the game with big weapons that can do more, so to be safe I just went to the Great Plateau and fought a lone Bokoblin. Your shield has lost 1140 durability from the 38 laser blasts, so count how many attacks you block from the Bokoblin and add that to 1140 to get your total durability. A perfect shield would withstand the 38 laser blasts then another 20 attacks from a weak enemy.
The shield I ended up keeping on my Normal mode survived 38 lasers plus 10 attacks, so it has a durability of 1150, which was good enough for me since I don't have the patience to keep loading and taking lasers in hope of getting a better one. Sorry for the long response, but hopefully someone finds this useful since I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere!
Theres also a savage lynel sheild in hyrule castle, you just need to break some boxes and eventually find a chest
Hello one of the most friendly RUclipsrs that I know! :)
thanks so much! I try my best! =)
channel always comes in insane clutch to any zleda player you need more attention fro BOTW
omg weapons and bows videos will be 🔥🔥
Thank you! I hope so! I'll do my best!
I killed the Stalnox pretty early during my playthrough and whenever I reloaded for the hylian shield, it was always a clean 90 defense. If I leave the chest unopened and progress through the game, will the shield still be clean or will it have a modifier?
You have to kill lots of enemies in order for that there is hidden exp within the game
Watch klerics part 4 of ruining your file to understand
Here's the link ruclips.net/video/q3jGC6dku3Q/видео.html
Kill every enemy 10times and for main story fights kill 1 time
I’m surprised you didn’t include the daybreaker shield here. It has 3x the durability of the savage lynel shield and still has a really high shield guard. I end up always opting for that one since it’s the highest durability outside of the hero’s shield amibo and of course the hylian shield.
Good
He's using the Durability transfer glitch, which makes the Daybreaker obsolete, since every shield will have the Hylian Shield's durability. In that case, the Daybreaker simply cannot compare to the sheer utility the other shields have, like the Savage Lynel Shield dealing damage on parry, Ancient Shield auto deflecting Guardian's beam and being excellent at surfing, Radiant Shield having the highest speed while surfing, etc.
0:45 there IS actually a way to get both kinds of hylian shields. 2 ways, actually! If Nikko were to get back to me, I could teach him these methods
Now there is. Haha there wasn't before. You cab even get one shield with both!
@@100PercentZelda I'm sorry, BOTH?!
If you don want to go to hyrule castle you can also get the royal guard shield in a chest when you kill the Molduking, i advise to save game since the shield does not always appear
If you've only completed three divine beasts, the spawns in the Coliseum all carry various royal weapons and shields. after you've completed all divine beasts they all carry elemental weapons. great place to stock up after every blood moon. I don't even bother fighting the spawns, i just fly in, hit them with shock arrows, and pick up what they drop.
This video made me subscribe. Thank you for making the best Zelda content ever made!
I guarantee that if you asked this guy to draw a perfect replica of the BOTW map he could do it, easily
That would be cool
I can't help but notice something: he's supposed to have the max shield guard up for all his shields (except hylian and ancient), but most of his shields don't! Here are the shields: Hunter's shield, which can go up to 15, but he left it at 3. Same thing for the emblazoned shield. True, he has 14 on his fisherman's shield, but it can go higher. There's also the soldier's shield, which can go up to 39, but he left at 34. THen there's the forest dweller's shield, which can go up to 42, but he left it at 39. And the sliver shield, which can go up to 44, but he left it at 42. Also, the dragonbone Boko shield also comes up short as it can go up to 48. Plus, the Guardian shield++ can go up to 54, so it comes up short. And considering There's only 1 chest with a hunter's shield and 1 chest for the fisherman's shield He's screwed on that account. To anyone reading this comment, Be smart about this.
Great quality videos! New subscriber!
Thank you! And thanks so much for the subscription!
This is super helpful :). Thanks! May your channel be successful.
thank you! I hope it will be =)
Wow this guy actually posts good content! You’ve earned yourself a sub.
Thanks so much! enjoy! =)
100 Percent Zelda I definitely will!
What if I just started a new run, what are some shields I can easily get while at least being good enough to use for a while at the beginning of the game
honestly they break often, so just get whatever you can get, and keep the highest ones. and at least one that's not metal
I needed this for Thunderblight.
I don’t know why but I just love the way he says “Here”
The problem with the best items in this game is that you cannot use them since there is no repair functionality. I end up using only mid-tier swords and bows since I don't want to break the best ones. Hylian shield isn't even replaceable, so that's a define no-no in all situations. I hope they adjust the mechanics in the sequel.
I finally got that durability up+ hylian shield! Took me so long to do but it was worth it, I used your tutorial to duplicate it and got an ancient shield. Love your tutorials!!
Yay! Thanks so much! Glad you got it!
i never imagined there's the time where i can see all comments are a year ago so soon
Using durability transfer, the only shields worth having are Ancient Shields and Savage Lynel Shields….Ancient Shield can deflect lasers by simply blocking (HANDY in Master Mode) and Savage Lynel Shields can do damage (not as useful, but it’s something….and I suppose it’s good to just hold on to your Hylian Shield too since it has the best defense rating
How would I be able to get side grades to the Hylian shield? I've tried save loading and it didn't work. And I've tried for a long time. is there a way I can get it while I already Have it saved at my house?
These videos have been fantastically informative, however I'm thinking there may be one thing that needs to be cleared up:
As far as I'm aware, getting a Hylian Shield with Durability Up+ does _not_ automatically guarantee you one with 1160 durability, despite every video mentioning shield durability transfer essentially giving that impression. According to that spreadsheet of values that most of us have seen by now, DU+ on the Hylian Shield has a variable range of 217 to 360 added durability.
So, unless the spreadsheet is mistaken, or the scaling mechanic eventually guarantees that all rolled bonuses on chest items in the game are maxed out after grinding up however many scaling points... It's in no way guaranteed that even the shield in this video has 1160 durability.
(Of course, on a shield that most people struggle to break even at the base value of 800, this isn't exactly a reason to erase an entire save file. Durability Up+ would _still guarantee_ a Hylian Shield with _at least_ 1017 durability.)
You know, I saw that too, but I never thought about that... I guess somehow you'd have to test every durability up+ shield
@@100PercentZelda Right, and I dunno about you but personally I'd rather just accept the knowledge that my shield had at least 1017 durability.
... And I say that as someone who's sat there and manually confirmed that transferring durability to more than 1 weapon at a time (ie. without refreshing the menu overload completely) gives each subsequent weapon an additional -1 durability per weapon that came before it (eg. using the DU+ Biggoron Sword, the 1st weapon gets 110 durability, 2nd weapon gets 109, 3rd gets 108, etc...).
Looking forward to whatever videos you have coming up! Perhaps ways to farm the other dragons?
my favorite moment with an ancient shield was when i accidently found the lair of the teleport marker. found it by accident and was immediately targeted by 8 guardians. without the ancient shield there was no way i was gonna parry or dodge that many beams. love you auto parry!
Actually, 3. And just use urbosas fury
Edit: might have spelled fury wrong.
Another Great Video.
Thanks! I appreciate it!
So do you can you get the hylain shield from the stalnox after you have already beat it
I'm pretty sure you can since it wasn't opened
If the shield breaks and you don't dupe you can re buy it in terry town
Ancient shield can also deflect octorock projectiles straight back at them
Thanks!
Wasn't there a way to transfer inventory from a normal mode save to master mode? Maybe we could use that to get both bonuses for the Hylian Shield
not that I know of
Thanks
you are welcome =)
hylian shield at 1:02
Thanks!
You say to save, then open the chest, and keep loading until you get the shield you want. You said the same in your weapons video. I'm confused, are the items in the chests random?
sorry. I wish I was more specific. The item will be the same, but the mod (guard up, attack up, durability up. etc.) will be different. However the farther you are in the game, the more chances of a higher mod. So if the one you want isn't popping out. leave it there for later
Great video! Very interesting and informative.
Thanks so much! I hope it helps a lot! =)
thank you for this information now I can get so much shields without worrying about having none lol
I use a guardian shield+ with the hylian shield's durability because I think it looks cool but I also have an ancient shield with the hylian's durability
I think he forgot the kite shield which is the best for surfing. There are only three in the game and they don't respawn so they are rare. Still great video.
Was there a glitch or a way to get all the shrines from the normal mode to master mode?
Not that i know of. You might have to look it up and check =(
@@100PercentZelda
Try, Moon Jump Wrong Warping maybe?
If you're going to use the duplication glitch and durability transfer, wouldn't the +144 shield guard version of the hylian shield be better than the durability up version because you other shields will still have a durability of 799 which is a lot, you will have multiple full durability hylian shields, and if they ever get low you can just reset the durability back to 799? Which then means all shields would benefit from having the max shield guard as their buff since all your shields will be 799.
This is all true. This is debate on its own, so it's kind of just based on opinion. I choose durability so those other shields just last even longer. Its just less times I would have to transfer durability again.
@@100PercentZelda fair point
Quick question..
Which one is better..the Hylian shield with Durability Up + or Shield Guard Up + modifier ?
It is a matter of opinion, but I choose durability up. The reason being that I can transfer it's durability to other shields, making them last even longer. The other reason being that there are only very few attacks against link that are greater than 90. 144 guard isn't needed. But again, it's a matter of opinion
Yes, that’s why I asked this question.
I’ve seen so many different opinions on this..some people prefer the Shield Guard Up + modifier since they think that the base Hylian shield already has more than enough durability so the Durability Up + modifier would be a waste.
But yeah, I agree that there are very few circumstances where the Shield Guard Up + would be useful, probably only against Golden Lynels and a Golden Moblin.
@@100PercentZelda Is there a list of which monsters requires which shield defense stat? What monster(s) has attacks that require more than 90 defense on a shield? And which monster requires the highest shield stat?
@@antonsundin2974 I just found this...
gamefaqs.gamespot.com/wii-u/632936-the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/faqs/75488/enemy-statistics
@@100PercentZelda So a Gold Lynel using a 108 damage crusher would technically require you to have a shield with 168 defense stat to work the most efficiently? Is that how it works?
The almighty Pot Lid is easily the best shield, you can fucking parry a Lynel's Crusher swing with this!
Which Hylian Shield is better? I plan on doing the durability transfer glitch but the shield up looks so good. Lol my original file got messed up doing the Bow of Light glitch so might as well start over
I would choose durability.... BUT! If you're doing the bow of light glitch, why not take both! =)
@@100PercentZelda lol nah never doing bow of light glitch again I soft locked my game and forgot it was patched after Dlc, but durability it is!
Did you save scum for the max durability hylian shield? If yes how did you test it? Coz the guard up+ being visible (easier to min-max) is pulling me away from durability+.
Just recently found your channel. Having a lot of fun watching your vids.
0:24 hey that looks like my inventory
you must have a healthy inventory =)
Hey men just to say that I really like your videos, incredible video quality, and that you can see the effort goes on like this
One question, you can make a video explaining the guardians glitch, the one where a lot of things come out, please
I will soon post a video of me doing the glitch, but I don't know how soon I will post an actual tutorial video. For now, if you need it, you may search for some through youtube.
Hello! Just a quick question for getting the buffed hylian shield. Am I supposed to save before the fight with the skeleton hinox or after I beat it and the chest spawns.
Second if I need to defeat any divine beats. Like with amiibos not locking their weapon drops until you complete a divine beast
you can defeat the Stalnox, then save and load. and yes any divine beast
@@100PercentZelda alright! Thanks. I'll probably do Urbosa first cause shes my favriote. I love your videos man! :)
@@Kat-ru4ej you're welcome, and thank you. Im doing my best =)
thanks it helped a lot and I love the music
Thanks man this helped so much
Love the vid!
Thank you. So glad you love it =)
Hey 100 Percent Zelda, amazing video as always, playing on Master Mode right now and I am trying to get mods on my Hylia Shield. I've tried reloading for a long time now and for some reason it doesn't work though and it always stays at 90 defense. I don't even get a durability upgrade, do you maybe know why this is happening?
It might too early in the game for you
@@100PercentZelda Okay thanks! :)
This is late but how early, I am restarting a new game and beaten 2 divine beast already.
Edit: I have been trying to get durability up +
I love your videos!!! They help me so much
Thanks so much! Happy to help!
SO! Something very important. If you do new game + with hylian sheild max durability. Then you get hylian sheild with max defense. You durability transfer. And then duplicate. You have the best sheild possible in the game. The only problem with that combination is that it attracts lightning and it is not the best for parrying and sheild serfing. Also you can get multiple hylian sheilds with the master sword glitch
I think you should have specified that you need to atleast beat all 4 Divine beasts before you can get buffs to the Hylian shield.
I don't really know the exact number of exp for the hylian shield.
Thanks for this guide really informational
Hi, i am french so sorry for my level in english.
I have a question, i used 4 object maps and when i go to a treasure chest with a « soldier’s shield », i got a royal shield. Why please ?
Well that sucks. I got the Hylian shield in two different save profiles, and neither one has any special modifiers. It's just the regular 90 with it's standard durability and nothing else. Does that mean it's too late to get a better one?
Cool video! I'm your 1000th subscriber 😎👌 pretty cool
Thank you so much!!! =)
Is it weird for me to say that on my main save I have like 6 savage lynels shields? I got them when I was farming savage lynel bows to overload my inventory.
How do u duplicate that should u spoke about? Also I have some good shields but no upgrades on them is there a double of each shield in the game I can go find when i level up a bit that way I have chance get it with upgrades
I'm doing a shirtless challenge . . . My hylian shield broke, I can't buy a new one because Fyson won't talk to me. I can't get the daybreaker because I can't get into gerudo town, so I need the third best shield in the game.
I think getting into gerudo could be an exception
Do you get the 1160 durability once you soft reset for the Hylian shield durability+? Or is the value still random? If it’s random how can you tell since the durability value is never shown
Keep up the good work,some day u will be soooooo famous😊🤣
Thank you! That's the dream! =)
Can u get the bonus defense or durability on normal mode, and also how did u show 3 different Hylian shield with defense and durability?
yes you can, and i showed different ones from different files
Nice man its me u remember me right? The one u teach me about de lynel hey this is nice i guess i know why my shield sucks
=)
To get both a duribibity up and guard up Hylian shield you have to do a new game+ file and get enough xp for them without dying, then you get one of the modded shields and then do the glitch at the end. I know this because I watched klerics vid about this and I did it myself and got two hylian sheilds without duping
Thanks for the video!!
you're welcome! =) thanks for the comment!
This guy reminds me of the youtuber zuzucorn, he is just very nice compared to other youtubers who shout alot
Really nice video. This is getting a sub
Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy the videos! =)
Do you have any tips for trial of the sword in master mode, I am stuck. Maybe a video about all 3 trials. I am sorry to ask this much of you
You know this is something that has crossed my mind, but it would take some time to make something like this, especially having to go through the whole thing again and make footage.
I'm not saying no because a part of me wants to, but I know for sure, I don't think it would be any time soon. You'll probably get through it by the time i make it =P
Can you explain farming the hylian shield and show getting to it a bit slower?
I know I sped it up, but really just enter that path on the left, and just keep going through it
