Lynels appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'' as some of the strongest enemies in the game, easily rivaling the majority of the bosses. Like most of the enemies in the game, they come in a variety of colors, with each color getting progressively stronger, ranging from the standard Red-Maned Lynel, to the deadly [[Silver Lynel]]. They will also have one of three weapon loadouts, reflecting the three different types of melee weapons in the game; the Sword Lynel (carries a [[Lynel Sword]] and a [[Lynel Shield]]), the Spear Lynel (carries a [[Lynel Spear]]), and the Crusher Lynel (carries a [[Lynel Crusher]]). All Lynels, regardless of weapon loadout, carry a [[Lynel Bow]]. These weapons all drop upon their death (with one notable exception), and as the Lynel levels up, their weapons also increase in power, and with the right damage modifiers are the strongest weapons in the game, giving the player some incentive to take on the challenge of killing them.

When defeated, a Lynel may drop a [[Lynel Hoof]], a [[Lynel Horn]], or some [[Lynel Guts]] as a reward. Additionally, the player will receive a [[Lynel Trophy]] each time one of these bosses are defeated. These can be used to complete [[Age of Calamity Quests|quests]] or upgrade weapons of the various warriors. Stronger variants and elemental variants of Lynel also appear throughout ''Age of Calamity'', including [[Blue-Maned Lynel]], [[White-Maned Lynel]], [[Silver Lynel]], [[Electric Lynel]], [[Fire Lynel]], [[Ice Lynel]], and [[Malice Lynel]].

==''Tears of the Kingdom''==
Standard Red Lynels reappear from ''Breath of the Wild'' and remain present for the entire game, with adjusted enemy balancing allowing for each of every type of Lynel to share overworld space with each other at the same time. Lynels will always be found in [[West Hyrule Plains]], northeast of [[Lake Illumini]] and [[North Akkala Valley]]. A Lynel is also the first opponent fought in the [[Floating Coliseum]], and is followed by every other Lynel type in order of strength; from [[Blue-Maned Lynel]], to [[White-Maned Lynel]], to a [[Silver Lynel]] and an armored [[Silver Lynel]]. They carry over many of their characteristics from ''Breath of the Wild'' with the most notable differences being that they now drop [[Lynel Saber Horn]]s and [[Lynel Mace Horn]]s upon defeat. [[Lynel Hoof]]s will also be dropped, along with a variety of low level unfused basic weapons, and [[Lynel Bow]]s and [[Lynel Shield]]s.
