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.

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). There are six of these Lynels in the base 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 (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]] and the Lynel of [[Ploymus Mountain]]. | The more [[Scaling Points]] one gets, the stronger the Lynels will spawn.

*In spite of being considerably more harmful and dangerous than [[Hinox]]es, [[Molduga]]s and [[Stone Talus]]es, Lynels are not included in the [[overworld]] mini-bosses qualifier like the other three, nor slaying them all award any medals from [[Kilton]]. In some cases, the most powerful species of Lynels are more difficult to kill than some of the Blights or even [[Calamity Ganon]]. | *In spite of being considerably more harmful and dangerous than [[Hinox]]es, [[Molduga]]s and [[Stone Talus]]es, Lynels are not included in the [[overworld]] mini-bosses qualifier like the other three, nor slaying them all award any medals from [[Kilton]].

*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=== | ===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]]. | |||
