The '''Ancient Shield''' is a shield found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.
 
==''Breath of the Wild''==
The Ancient Shield has a base [[Shield Guard]] of 70 and durability of 32, making it one of the best shields in the game.
 
One can be obtained from "[[Cherry]]" in the [[Akkala Ancient Tech Lab]] for 1,000 [[Rupee]]s, 10 [[Ancient Gear]]s, 15 [[Ancient Spring]]s, and 1 [[Giant Ancient Core]] per shield after lighting the tech lab's furnace with [[Blue Flame]].
 
The shield can reflect [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardian]] beams directly back at the shooter; this frees the player from performing a [[Perfect Guard]] but at the cost of the shield's durability.
 
On average, the Ancient Shield is one of the absolutely best shields in the game for [[shield surfing]] in terms of friction (85% friction reduction) and acceleration due to its low sledding damage rate (1/5 durability points/sec), allowing Link to surf with it for more than 10 minutes. Only the [[Hylian Shield]] lasts more, but it has a higher sledding damage rate at 1/4 durability point/sec, making it slower.
 
When [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] is carrying this shield, only the centerpiece shows; the blue parts only show up once it is held in the hand.
