"This shield was cherished by the Gerudo Champion Urbosa. The gold used to make it was handpicked to ensure a design that is both lightweight and very durable."
Daybreaker is a shield found in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Together with the Scimitar of the Seven, it was one of Urbosa's signature weapons until her death. Both are later inherited by Link.
Breath of the Wild
Daybreaker has a base Shield Guard of 48 and base durability of 60. Link can obtain it by returning to Gerudo Town and speaking with Riju after defeating Thunderblight Ganon, boss of Divine Beast Vah Naboris.
It once belonged to the Gerudo Champion Urbosa. When destroyed, it can be remade if Link talks to Buliara and gives her a Gerudo Shield, a diamond and five flints.
The Daybreaker takes damage at twice the game's average rate for shield surfing at 1/2 durability points/sec (average for shields is 1/4). However, its high durability compensates for this, though it has an average friction reduction rate, making it not particularly fast.
Tears of the Kingdom
The Daybreaker becomes obtainable once Link has finished the Riju of Gerudo Town portion of the Main Quest, ending with the defeat of Queen Gibdo, and after completing The Missing Owner sidequest, which will require Link to venture to the Toruma Dunes and defeat a Molduga surveying the area around Isha, the jeweller in Gerudo Town. She will then return to her shop, which Link can then go to and talk to Isha to initiate the Pride of the Gerudo sidequest, where he will need to bring Isha a Gerudo Scimitar, a Gerudo Shield, four Diamonds, and ten pieces of Flint to build both the Daybreaker and a Scimitar of the Seven, collectively referred to as the Arms of the Seven. These will be the required materials every time Link returns to Isha for further Scimitars of the Sevens and Daybreakers, which he can only re-obtain after the previous Scimitar of the Seven or Daybreaker has been broken or lost. The Daybreaker retains its base power of 48.
