Talk:Lynel

The Oracle of Ages and Seasons Lynel can shoot arrows. Also, in Oracle of Ages, they appear exclusively in the Black Tower. I'm a bit skeptical on my credibility on editing things, so can someone else please do it? Yashichi 00:21, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

There are a few errors on the weakness secion, so I'm going to correct it.

23 Lynels?
How I checked there were 20 in total, counting the 2 in Hyrule Castle and the one on Zora's Domain. Can I have to marked proof of all Lynel locations please? -- Wolfgerlion64 (talk) 15:14, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Filter by Lynels and you get a count of 23. Ignore the "4" in the Coliseum, we haven't figured out yet why the game rip info says there's 4 there. But I have personally checked all of these spots, there should be 23. -- Hylian pi (talk) 15:43, 23 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Actually, you are still double counting a Lynel. There is only one in Zora's Domain so there's 22 Lynel. A map with Lynel locations in the official guide also has 22 Lynel listed (7 Lynel, 7 Blue-Maned Lynel and 8 White-Maned Lynel), agreeing with the locations listed in the link above (excluding the Lynel counted multiple times). 15:58, 23 April 2017 (UTC)


 * But only counting the ones that a double counted once, Im only counting 21 Lynel Locations -- Wolfgerlion64 (talk) 16:13, 23 April 2017 (UTC)


 * My bad, I did make one mistake. I counted the Zora's Domain one as two. There should be 22. 5 in Hebra, 4 in Great Hyrule Forest, 2 in Eldin, 1 in Lanayru, 3 in Necluda, 2 in Hyrule Castle, 4 in Gerudo, and 1 in the Coliseum. 5 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 4 + 1 = 22. -- Hylian pi (talk) 17:14, 23 April 2017 (UTC)


 * By Eldin, u mean Akkala Region right? And there's only 2 in Necluda -- Wolfgerlion64 (talk) 18:02, 23 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes sorry I meant Akkala. And the third Necluda I was counting the one in Faron. It looked like it was in Necluda to me zoomed out. Not 100% sure the 4 around great hyrule forest are actually in that region, but i'm just trying to quickly identify them all. So to recap that's 5 in Hebra, 4 in Great Hyrule Forest, 2 in Akkala, 1 in Lanayru, 2 in Hyrule Castle, 2 in Necluda, 1 in Faron, 1 in the Coliseum, and 4 in Gerudo. (And yes, the Taobab Grassland area is in fact Gerudo, as tested with saving) -- Hylian pi (talk) 19:20, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Getting the lynel out of bounds in Breath of the Wild
I'm not sure about this being a bug or exploit but...

Lynels teleport if:


 * 1) They are on uneven ground, such as a rock. They often stand at an angle.
 * 2) Are out of bounds, such as they jump up and tries to slam link with their melee weapon (often bypass their boundry)

After teleporting out (disappearing) for being on uneven ground, the game will try to look for a valid position to warp the lynel in front of link when link is on the ground. During this period, the fight music continues to play, even if the lynel isn't around. It is possible to make that lynel teleport out of bounds while the game searches for a destination to warp to.

And there is a subglitch using the above glitch. If the lynel decides to stop attacking link while out of bounds (either by going too far away, or places which the lynel cannot attack), it tries to teleport back into bounds at its original position. If link attacks or mounts the lynel during the teleportation, he'll interrupt it and the lynel will forget link's presence (until link goes in front of the lynel), allowing link to repeatedly re-mount and attack again after link is removed from the lynel's back.

Do note that there is a second boundary past the first one for lynels that simply ends the music and teleportation session entirely.
