Lynels appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'' as some of the strongest enemies in the game. There are many different types, each progressively getting stronger ranging from the standard Red-Maned Lynel to the deadly [[Silver Lynel]]. A good strategy is to stay close to them, as the [[Shock Arrow]]s, [[Fire Arrow]]s, or [[Ice Arrow]]s the Lynel shoot are hard to dodge and do massive damage. Execute perfect dodges, and unleash flurry attacks on the Lynel to eventually defeat them. Alternatively, if you have the time you can either shoot its face or dodge its charge attack and mount it to get some hits in that do not damage your weapon at all. Additionally, you can use [[Urbosa's Fury]] to stun the Lynel and enable you to mount it. | Lynels appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'' as some of the strongest enemies in the game.

The more [[Scaling Points]] one gets, the stronger the Lynels will spawn. For instance, the Lynels at the North Tabantha Snowfield will turn from [[White-Maned Lynel]]s to [[Silver Lynel]]s. However, some Lynels remain the same throughout the game, like the Lynels at Hyrule Castle and the Lynel of [[Ploymus Mountain]]. | Standard Red-Maned Lynels have 2000 HP, making them tougher than [[Molduga]]s (1500 HP), [[Stone Talus]]es (900 HP max), and [[Black Hinox]]es (800 HP).

====Weapon-Related Attack/Movement Patterns==== | |||
* '''All''' Lynels will: | |||
** Charge Link with weapon side strikes (exploitable with both [[Perfect Guard]]s and [[Perfect Dodge]]s); | |||
** Charge Link by crouching and bounding on all their limbs (exploitable with both [[Perfect Guard]]s and [[Perfect Dodge]]s); | |||
** Put distance between them and Link to shoot fire from their mouths 3 times; these can be avoided by running perpendicularly from the path of the fireballs, or by running in the same manner close to the Lynel (in grassy areas, this will create an updraft that can be exploited); | |||
** Use their bows with elemental arrows and teleport their shots on top of Link if he attempts to put some distance between him and them; | |||
** Roar and rear rampant slowly in order to perform their explosive attacks by striking the ground (in grassy areas, this will create an updraft that can be exploited); | |||
** Teleport close to Link if he climbs to higher ground while still on their range; | |||
** Be stunned when shot in the head with an arrow, or by striking them with [[Urbosa's Fury]]; | |||
** Ignore the stunning effect and bonus damage of electricity other than the above; | |||
** Be rideable when stunned; Link can attack 5 times with the weapon he has equipped while riding the Lynel at the cost of stamina, which doesn't wear down the weapon since Link is attacking with the hilt of the particular weapon; | |||
** Be frozen in time, even during a charge or other attack, by a successful application of Stasis+ (the amount of time they can be frozen decreases as the tier of the Lynel increases); | |||
** Be stunned for a few seconds, interrupting their attack if they take damage while in Stasis. | |||
* [[Breath of the Wild One-Handed Weapons|One-Handed Weapon]]-wielding Lynels will: | |||
** Swing three (3) times on close quarters with their weapon | |||
** Swing one (1) time on close quarters with both their weapon and shield. All these attacks can be exploited with [[Perfect Dodge]]s and [[Perfect Guard]]s. | |||
* [[Breath of the Wild Spears|Spear]]-wielding Lynels will: | |||
**Ground-strike Link after jumping, but not all of these attacks can be avoided with [[Perfect Dodge]]s because they sometimes produce shockwaves that reach Link even during bullet-time. As such, Link would have to perform a [[Perfect Guard]] to create openings to strike these Lynels. | |||
**Charge towards Link, attacking with the reach of their spears '''after''' they're past Link | |||
* [[Breath of the Wild One-Handed Weapons|Two-Handed Weapon]]-wielding Lynels will: | |||
** Strike the ground ''after'' charging. These shouldn't be parried with a [[Perfect Dodge]] because they sometimes produce shockwaves. | |||
** If on close quarters, will strike with its club three times, and these attacks can be avoided with the [[Perfect Dodge]]. | |||
** If one stands behind them, they will attempt a spinning attack. To avoid it, one can run away from it, crouch underneath the Lynel or perform a [[Perfect Guard]] against it. | |||

In some cases, the most powerful species of Lynels are more difficult to kill than some of the Blights or even [[Calamity Ganon]]. | ||
*Unlike bosses, however, they are vulnerable to [[Ancient Arrow]]s. One hit from an Ancient Arrow vaporises them, leaving no trace or drops. | |||
*Lynels are among the only weapon-wielding enemies in the game (the other being the [[Wizzrobe]]s) that do not drop their weapons when they're stunned, nor pick up dropped weapons. | |||
===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. | |||
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]]. | |||
