Look out Tony Hawk, Link is coming for your crown. In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomplayers have found a way to take shield surfing to the next level and make it more like a skateboarding game. The game only released on Friday, but players are already busy in Hyrule grinding rails and creating unique shields with Link’s Fuse ability.
Link can block surfing in both cases breath of the wild And Tears of the Kingdom. When he does that, he rides his shield like a snowboard and skis down the slopes. Now with Link’s new Fuse ability Tears of the Kingdom
For example, players have since discovered that you can combine your shield with a mine cart to create a chunky looking skateboard.
In addition, the larger world includes new features in the landscape, such as B. Rails. In general, it’s probably easier to use the rails with a mine cart or hooked device. However, now players are using their makeshift skateboards to rail grind and bring Sonic-style gameplay to Zelda.
How to shield surf in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
If, like me, you wanted to try it out for yourself right away, here’s how to do it using the default controls. First, you want to climb up a hill or a spot with a decent drop, since going down is easiest.
Hold ZL on your controller to wield your shield. While still holding ZL, use X to jump, then press A while Link is still in the air. Link will then flip the shield under him and start riding it. Note that this will significantly affect your shield while driving. So don’t do this if you have a shield that you want to save for other reasons.
From there, you can experiment with different shields to see what feels best. I can confirm that driving around with the Fused mine cart and shield feels great. My colleagues confirmed that mid- to late-game Zonai items also make excellent backup materials in this regard. The possibilities in Tears of the Kingdom feel endless If you really wanted to, you could probably even build Link a skate park to try out his new ride – it seems only a matter of time before someone actually tries it.
