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.
