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, stasis+ and a lot of arrows, just target it with stasis then keep shooting it in the head until it dies, since most of its attacks are charge attacks that can be canceled if you hit it in the head. Attempting to shoot a Lynel from a distance is usually a very poor idea; 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. | 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.

The White-Maned Lynel are high-level lynels found in Breath of the Wild, Age of Calamity, and Tears of the Kingdom.
Breath of the Wild
White-Maned Lynels can typically be found on the outskirts of Hyrule, such as in the Hebra Mountains or Deep Akkala. As the World Level increases, Blue-Maned Lynels will gradually be replaced with White-Maned Lynels, and White-Maned Lynels in turn become Silver Lynels.
Strategy
- Main article: Lynel Weapon-Related Attack/Movement Patterns
There are 8 of these Lynels in the base game.
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, stasis+ and a lot of arrows, just target it with stasis then keep shooting it in the head until it dies, since most of its attacks are charge attacks that can be canceled if you hit it in the head.

All Lynels are impervious to elemental damage, but will usually stop at their tracks if there's fire on their path.
At least half of these Lynels will be located at cold areas like the Tabantha Tundra and the Gerudo Highlands, so cold resistance is recommended, including elixirs, foods and armor. Also, since they will be in the presence of snow, it's recommended to wear the Snow Boots so that Link's minimum sprinting speed is not hindered.
Drops
- Note: The White-Maned Lynel in the Second Gatehouse at Hyrule Castle, which does not upgrade with World Level, will not ordinarily drop its weapons on defeat. To make it do so, the player must save the game within the Second Gatehouse and reload from this save before killing the Lynel. The player can then kill the Lynel and it will drop the weapons in line with Lynels elsewhere in the game.

Trivia
- White-Maned Lynels are the strongest enemies in the overworld before power-scaling mechanics transform most of them into the even stronger Silver Lynels. As such, should Link not have encountered and slain many enemies before encountering it, and/or changed Spirit Orbs into heart/stamina containers, these Lynels are effectively the strongest enemy encountered.
- In Master Mode, a White-Maned Lynel is the strongest enemy found in the Great Plateau, pacing just southeast from the Temple of Time, and can be encountered while Link makes his way south to the Owa Daim Shrine. As it's found so uncharacteristically early in the game, it's nearly impossible to engage it in combat from the outset, making it a fool's errand, as there's little to no equipment and weapons effective enough to slay it.
- Six out of the eight White-Maned Lynels in Hyrule are located at the northernmost part of Hyrule, three of which are encountered on the Deplan Badlands, and three on the North Tabantha Snowfield. Elsewhere, there's a Lynel at the Gerudo Summit and the individual at Hyrule Castle, this being the only White-Maned Lynel that does not transform into a Silver Lynel.
- A spear-wielding White-Maned Lynel is one of the bosses of the last section of the Final Trial of the Trial of the Sword (Floor 23), and last section of the Trial of the Sword as a whole. In Master Mode, this Lynel is in turn a Silver Lynel.

Tears of the Kingdom
White-Maned 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. White-Maned Lynels will always be found on Kamah Plateau and Risoka Snowfield, and gloom-covered White-Maned Lynels found in the depths next to the Kawakanis Lightroot and the Sohse Lightroot. A White-Maned Lynel is also the third opponent fought in the Floating Coliseum, alongside a Red and Blue-Maned Lynel and two Silver Lynels.
They carry over many of their characteristics from Breath of the Wild with the most notable differences being that they now drop White-Maned Lynel Saber Horns and White-Maned Lynel Mace Horns upon defeat, and that in the Depths they will be encountered clad in rock armor, becoming stunned for a moment once it's broken apart. Lynel Hoofs and Lynel Guts will also be dropped, along with a variety of higher level unfused basic weapons, plus Savage Lynel Bows and Savage Lynel Shields.
