Silver Lynels are the most lethal of all [[Lynel]]s 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]].
One can always be found in the [[First Gatehouse]] in [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]].

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.
Blue-Maned Lynels have 3000 HP. There are seven of these Lynels in the base game.


They have the same move set as other Lynels, although its attacks do considerably more damage. Watch out if it roars; it will charge up and do an explosive attack in a very wide area around it. Here, you can either run as fast as you can away, get a quick head-shot to stun the Lynel, or parry its attack. If this attack lands, it will be devastating, even with most good armour. A good tactic to take one down is to use a powerful bow and a lot of arrows, and to 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, [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] may just die outright on the spot.
This Lynel can shoot fireballs from its mouth. These may look pretty menacing but they are actually very easy to dodge; in fact you can just run (no need to sprint) to the left or right and you won't get hit. The actual problem with these fireballs is that they light the grass on fire for a while and the fire might get in the way. On the bright side you can also use this fire to your advantage since you can ride the updraft and either use the slow motion to shoot the Lynel in the face, or you can just land on its back for a free attack. 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.


All Lynels are impervious to elemental damage, but will usually stop at their tracks if there's fire on their path.
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.
These Lynels are marginally more common than the weaker Red-Maned variation, but they dwell in less accessible areas, so they're more rarely encountered. In perspective, White-Maned Lynels are more easily encountered.


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.
As Link encounters and battles more Lynels, just like the White-Maned Lynels, the Blue-Maned variation eventually start spawning as [[Silver Lynel]]s except for the Blue-Maned Lynel at Hyrule Castle.
 
A spear-wielding Blue-Maned Lynel is the boss of the snow section of the [[Trial of the Sword#Final Trial|Final Trial of the Trial of the Sword]], making it the penultimate boss of the Trial of the Sword as a whole. In [[Master Mode]], this Lynel is in turn a [[White-Maned Lynel]].

To make it do so, the player must save the game within the First 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===
* Silver Lynels are the strongest enemies in the base game '''after''' power-scaling mechanics transform them into those. As such, should Link not have encountered and slain many enemies before encountering Lynels, and/or changed [[Spirit Orb]]s into heart/stamina containers, [[White-Maned Lynel]]s are the strongest enemy encountered by then.
* Silver Lynels originate from '''all''' variations of Lynel. Most of the Lynels in the game, as [[World Level]] increases, ultimately start spawning as Silver Lynels.
*In [[Master Mode]], a spear-wielding Silver Lynel is one of the bosses of the last section of the [[Trial of the Sword#Final Trial|Final Trial of the Trial of the Sword]] (Floor 23), this being the last stage of the Trial of the Sword as a whole.

Blue-Maned Lynel

"These fearsome monsters have lived in Hyrule since ancient times. Compared to the Standard Lynel, those with blue manes are much tougher and are equipped with much stronger weapons. Facing off a Lynel is ill-advised, but if you must, be sure you're well prepared."

— Breath of the Wild in-game description

The Blue-Maned Lynel are found in Breath of the Wild, Age of Calamity, and Tears of the Kingdom.

Breath of the Wild

One can always be found in the First Gatehouse in Hyrule Castle.

Strategy

Main article: Lynel Weapon-Related Attack/Movement Patterns

Blue-Maned Lynels have 3000 HP. There are seven of these Lynels in the base game.

This Lynel can shoot fireballs from its mouth. These may look pretty menacing but they are actually very easy to dodge; in fact you can just run (no need to sprint) to the left or right and you won't get hit. The actual problem with these fireballs is that they light the grass on fire for a while and the fire might get in the way. On the bright side you can also use this fire to your advantage since you can ride the updraft and either use the slow motion to shoot the Lynel in the face, or you can just land on its back for a free attack. Attempting to shoot a Lynel from a distance is usually a very poor idea, it will shoot elemental arrows at you, including Shock Arrows, 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.

These Lynels are marginally more common than the weaker Red-Maned variation, but they dwell in less accessible areas, so they're more rarely encountered. In perspective, White-Maned Lynels are more easily encountered.

As Link encounters and battles more Lynels, just like the White-Maned Lynels, the Blue-Maned variation eventually start spawning as Silver Lynels except for the Blue-Maned Lynel at Hyrule Castle.

A spear-wielding Blue-Maned Lynel is the boss of the snow section of the Final Trial of the Trial of the Sword, making it the penultimate boss of the Trial of the Sword as a whole. In Master Mode, this Lynel is in turn a White-Maned Lynel.

Tears of the Kingdom

Blue-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. Blue-Maned Lynels will always be found on Lanayru Heights, Lanayru Wetlands and Harfin Valley. A Blue-Maned Lynel is also the second opponent fought in the Floating Coliseum, alongside a Red and White-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 Blue-Maned Lynel Saber Horns and Blue-Maned Lynel Mace Horns upon defeat. Blue-Maned Lynel Saber Horns and Blue-Maned Lynel Mace Horns have a fuse power of 33 and 29 respectively, ranking them at equal power with Silver Moblin Horns and Stalnox Horns, and is effective respectively for slash and hammer-type attacks. Lynel Hoofs will also be dropped with a chance for Lynel Guts to also drop, along with a variety of medium level unfused basic weapons, and Mighty Lynel Bows and Mighty Lynel Shields.
