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]].

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. | ||
All Lynels are also impervious to elemental damage, and are not stunned by normal electrical attacks, but will usually stop at their tracks if there's fire in their path. | All Lynels are also impervious to elemental damage, and are not stunned by normal electrical attacks, but will usually stop at their tracks if there's fire in their path. | ||

When attacking a Lynel, do NOT stay at range, as Lynels always carry [[Shock Arrow]]s, [[Fire Arrow]]s, or [[Ice Arrow]]s, and they are typically hard to dodge and do massive damage. Getting in close will cause the Lynel to put away it's bow and draw it's melee weapon, which is easier to deal with. While any weapon can be used to kill a Lynel, using a one-hander/shield is the safest option, while using a two-hander is the fastest option. Spears can be effective as well, but due to their lower damage output and having to manually switch to the shield, they offer the least advantage. Executing perfect dodges, and unleashing flurry attacks are the best opportunities for damage. Alternatively, shooting them in the face will stun them for a moment, allowing you to either get a few hits in, or better, run around to their back and mount them to get some free hits that do not cause any weapon durability loss. Dodging a charge attack can also put you in position to mount them. Lynels are also vulnerable to Stasis+, which can give time to get out of the way, or even get some free hits in. Hitting them during Stasis+ will also give them a short stun as they come out of it. Additionally, you can use [[Urbosa's Fury]] to stun the Lynel for some damage and enable you to mount it. | When attacking a Lynel, do NOT stay at range, as Lynels always carry [[Shock Arrow]]s, [[Fire Arrow]]s, or [[Ice Arrow]]s, and they are typically hard to dodge and do massive damage.

Any Lynel, regardless of color, can be "removed" in one shot with an [[Ancient Arrow]]. However, the game does not seem to consider this as a true kill, so no weapons/items will drop, and it does not seem to add to [[World Level]] (this is unverified). | |||

The drops include some of the best items in the game, including the [[Savage Lynel Bow]], the [[Savage Lynel Sword|Sword]] the [[Savage Lynel Shield|Shield]], among others. These drops also have mighty and normal versions, both of which are weaker than the savage weapons, with mighty weapons being stronger than the normal Lynel weapons. Keep in mind that only Lynels that wield Swords carry shields. They can also drop a [[Lynel Hoof]], a [[Lynel Horn]] and [[Lynel Guts]]. These are used for enhancing many pieces of armor in the game, such as the [[Barbarian Armor]]. | The drops include some of the best items in the game, including the [[Savage Lynel Bow]], the [[Savage Lynel Sword|Sword]] the [[Savage Lynel Shield|Shield]], among others.
