Silver Lynels are the most lethal of all the [[Lynel]] found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'s'' standard mode. They are bolstered by [[Ganon]]'s evil magic like the other silver variations of enemies, such as the [[Silver Moblin]]. Usually mistaken as a [[White-Maned Lynel]], despite the color pattern on the silver one being inverted from the White-Maned Lynel. As Link progresses through the game, many of the Lynels across Hyrule will be upgraded to the Silver kind. They have a chance to drop rare materials, including [[Star Fragment (Breath of the Wild)|Star Fragments]].

Silver-Maned Lynels have 6000 HP, making them twice as tough as [[Blue-Maned Lynel]]s. As many as 18 of the 22 Lynels in the game can turn into Silver Lynels.
Silver-Maned Lynels have 5000 HP, making them even more tough than [[White-Maned Lynel]]s. 18 of the 22 Lynels in the game will eventually evolve into Silver Lynels.


They have the same move set as other Lynels, although its attacks do a lot more damage. Watch out if it roars; it'll charge up and do an explosive attack in a very wide area around it. The best strategy is to just run as fast as you can away or get a quick head-shot to cancel the attack since if it hits it will most likely kill you outright. A good tactic to take one down is to use a powerful bow and a lot of arrows, just keep shooting it in the head until it dies, since most of its attacks are charge attacks that can be canceled if you hit him in the head. Attempting to shoot a Lynel from a distance is usually a very poor idea, as it will shoot elemental arrows at you, including [[Shock Arrow]]s, which afflict critical damage, and if more than one projectile hits at once, you might die outright on the spot.

All Lynels are impervious to elemental damage, but will usually stop at their tracks if there's fire on their path.

Another very worthwhile tactic is to equip a very strong heavy weapon and a bow that fires multiple arrows. Use the bow to cancel its attacks and stun it with a face shot, then run up to it as fast as you can. Run behind it, and mount the Lynel. You have a brief window of attack, so mash the attack button. The type of weapon does not affect the speed of attack, and the weapon itself does not take durability damage. With this tactic, you can deal tons of damage from a powerful two-handed weapon, and never have to worry about durability loss or breakage. This also is relatively safe, because face shots are made easier with the multiple arrows firing off at once.

If you have difficulty stunning the Lynel with a bow, another valid strategy is to equip a heavy-hitting, durable weapon, and to perform a [[Perfect Dodge]], allowing Link to deal significant damage to the Lynel, though not as efficiently as when using the other strategies.
