Lynel are centaur-like beasts that have the body of a horse, the torso of a human, and the head of a lion. They are common enemies within The Legend of Zelda series, having appeared in five games to date.
Appearances
The Legend of Zelda
The Lynel made its debut in The Legend of Zelda. They are found across the northwestern section of the overworld, with a variety of two Lynels, red and blue. The Blue Lynel is much stronger than the red ones. The Lynels will beam their sword at Link when interfered.
A Link to the Past
Lynel appear exclusively atop of Death Mountain while in the Dark World. Since they are on the path located between Turtle Rock and Ganon's Tower, these enemies are not encountered until very late in the quest.
Lynels in A Link to the Past have similar traits to their Legend of Zelda Counterparts. They once again shoot out projectiles towards Link, but this time in the form of Fireballs instead of swords. Fortunately these fireballs aren't too damaging, doing only one heart of damage to Link when Link has the Blue Mail on. Link's Fire Shield isn't quite enough to deflect these Fire attacks, but Link's Mirror Shield will do the trick. Simply coming into contact with a Lynel is more damaging, doing two full hearts of damage to Link when he wears the Blue Mail.
Link can defeat a Lynel in a variety of methods. His standard Master Sword will have no effect on these fearsome beasts. If Link has acquired either the Tempered Sword or the Golden Sword, then his sword can do damage. Alternatively, Link can hit a Lynel with his Master Sword, but only by performing a Spin Attack.
Link can also defeat a Lynel with three hits from his Magic Hammer, but this requires him to get very close. The other alternative is to shoot a single Silver Arrow to defeat one of these creatures.
Oracle of Seasons
Oracle of Ages
Lynel in the Oracle of Ages are identical to their Oracle of Seasons counterparts. They are found exclusively within the Sea of No Return, located just outside of the entrance to the Ancient Tomb.
A Link Between Worlds
The Lynel returns from a long absence in the sequel to A Link to the Past, A Link Between Worlds. They can be found on Death Mountain, in both Hyrule and Lorule. They are easily the most dangerous enemy, as they deal four whole hearts of damage per hit. The best way to defeat them is to use the Ice Rod to stun them, and then go over and slash away with the Captain's Sword or Master Sword.
