** Impact damage consists of the shock exerted on the shield when first performing the skill, when jumping, or when the terrain makes Link catch air and landing, usually 1 point per jump. Small jumps and bumps don't produce damage to the shield. Also, the damage on the shield remains the same regardless of the height one drops from; | ** '''Impact damage''' consists of the shock exerted on the shield when first performing the skill, when jumping, or when the terrain makes Link catch air and landing, usually 1 point per jump.

** Sledding damage consists of the time Link can shield-surf. '''This is unaffected by friction'''. Most shields in the game take 1/4 of a point of durability per second while surfing, but there are outlier shields with different ratios, from better to worse: | ** '''Sledding damage''' consists of the time Link can shield-surf.
