Lynels make their debut in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. They continuously send out sword beam projectiles toward [[Link]]. They are found across the northwestern section of the [[overworld]]. They come in two color variations; red and blue. The blue Lynels have twice as much health and deal twice as much damage than the red Lynels.

These are easily the most challenging enemies in the game. Referred to as Fire Cats in the booklet, these wolves charge up at Link and deal some massive damage, and once they start pounding him it's hard to get them off. Defend with the shield and run up for some quick slices to finish them off. Beware, as only the Mirror Shield (Lv. 3) can block their spears. They have a rather good sense of aim with their spears as well, so watch out.

===A Link Between Worlds===
===A Link Between Worlds===
The Lynel returns from a long absence in the sequel to ''A Link to the Past'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''. They can be found on [[Death Mountain]], in both [[Hyrule]] and [[Lorule]]. They are easily the most dangerous enemy, as they deal four whole hearts of damage per hit. The best way to defeat them is to use the [[Ice Rod]] to stun them, then go over and slash away with the [[Captain's Sword]] or [[Master Sword]].

*In spite of being considerably more harmful and dangerous than [[Hinox]]es, [[Molduga]]s and [[Stone Talus]]es, Lynels are not included in the [[overworld]] mini-bosses qualifier like the other three, nor slaying them all award any medals from [[Kilton]]. In some cases, the most powerful species of Lynels are more difficult to kill than some of the Blights or even [[Calamity Ganon]].

===Age of Calamity===
===Age of Calamity===
Lynels in ''Age of Calamity'' serve as mini-bosses that are prevalent in early scenarios and challenges, with stronger variants appearing in the later game. The first Lynel appears in the [[Mipha, the Zora Princess]] scenario, where it is threatening to attack a young Prince [[Sidon]]. Lynels have a variety of attacks, including the ability to shoot blasts of fire out towards nearby warriors, launching arrow strikes, and dashing forward with their bodies and weapons. When preparing a fire attack, they are often times vulnerable to [[Remote Bomb]] strikes, which can lower their health gauge.
