How to Perform

Block an attack at the precise time

Effect

Reflecting attacks
Stunning enemies
Negate explosion momentum

The Perfect Guard is a special move used by Link in Breath of the Wild. If Link blocks an attack with perfect timing, it may reflect an attack, or stun the enemy which attacked. This move is good against Guardians, as their beam can be reflected back at them, causing great damage. It can also negate the momentum of explosions from Remote Bombs, Bomb Arrows and explosive Lynel attacks.

This move is learnt at the Ta'loh Naeg Shrine, in Kakariko Village.

Mechanics

Link must have his shield up, and once the attack hits, while holding the shield, the player must press the (A) button to produce the deflection.

The Perfect Guard can be achieved by using all shields and shield-like items like Pot Lids, at no cost to the shield's durability. Link can produce the deflection if pointing at the general direction of his attacker (so he doesn't have to be locked on them).
