The '''Perfect Guard''' is a special move used by [[Link | The '''Perfect Guard''' is a special move used by [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. | ||
==''Breath of the Wild''== | |||
If Link blocks an attack with perfect timing, it may reflect an attack, or stun the enemy which attacked. This "Perfect Guard" move is good against [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardians]], as their beam can be reflected back at them, causing great damage. It can also negate the momentum of explosions from [[Remote Bomb]]s, [[Bomb Arrow]]s and explosive [[Lynel]] attacks. | |||
This move is learnt at the [[Ta'loh Naeg Shrine]], in [[Kakariko Village (Breath of the Wild)|Kakariko Village]]. | This move is learnt at the [[Ta'loh Naeg Shrine]], in [[Kakariko Village (Breath of the Wild)|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 Lid]]s, 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). | |||
The [[Ancient Shield]], which can be purchased at the [[Akkala Ancient Tech Lab]], is the only shield in the game for which the Perfect Guard is not necessary when fighting against [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardians]], as it reflects their beams on its own, but at the cost of the shield's durability. | |||
Depending on the particular shield's [[Shield Guard]], the move may disarm the enemy. However, some enemies like [[Lynel#Breath of the Wild|Lynels]], [[Yiga Clan]]smen and armed [[Guardian Scout]]s cannot be disarmed regardless of the shield guard value. | |||
The Perfect Guard, in spite of being a special move, does not deplete the [[Stamina Wheel]]. | |||
