First Gatehouse

Games	Breath of the Wild
Location	Hyrule Castle, Central Hyrule
Enemies	Blue-Maned Lynel
Related	Second Gatehouse

The First Gatehouse is a location in Hyrule Castle from Breath of the Wild.

When Link enters, the main doors are barred, and a Blue-Maned Lynel appears carrying a Mighty Lynel Sword, Mighty Lynel Shield and Mighty Lynel Bow. While this is the only source for these weapons after the World Level has replaced the other Blue-Maned Lynels with White-Maned or Silver Lynels carrying Savage Lynel weapons, it will not ordinarily drop its weapons on defeat. 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.

For the sake of completing the Hyrule Compendium, in Master Mode, the Blue-Maned Lynel hereby contained will remain as it is and not transform into stronger counterparts as the game progresses.
