10 Video Game Secrets Everyone Knows Except You
5. Shield Surfing - The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild was a throwback to the legendary franchise's infancy. A giant open world with little in the way of direction, it was naturally also packed with secrets for players to discover. But by the far the coolest of these - and the least practical - was shield surfing.
To participate the first thing you're going to need is a shield. Obviously. Now go to the top the biggest hill you can find. Finally, use the left trigger to raise the shield, then X to jump, then A in midair. Link will land feet planted on his shield and now all that's left to do is perform sick tricks by using the analog stick and the X button.
Link can even fire arrows while surfing, but this is unwieldy and impractical to say the least.
And yes, there's a side quest that teaches you to do it. But it's so far out into the mountains you'd realy have to go out of your way exploring to even find it.
