Lynel

,  also known as, are recurring lion centaur-like NaN Enemies and NaN Sub-Bosss in.

Lynels appear in red and blue variations in, with the blue one dealing twice as much collision damage and taking 6 hits to kill instead of 4 with the wooded sword. They can be found around Death Mountain. Lynels fire beam projectiles at Link, which cannot be blocked with the Wooden Shield, only with the Magical Shield. When defeated, red Lynels may drop either a Heart, a Fairy or one Rupee, while blue Lynels may drop either a Heart, one Rupee, four Bombs or a Clock.

Lynels appear on Death Mountain in where only 3 are found by the east bridge near Ganon's Tower. They shoot fireballs at Link, which can only be deflected with the Red and Mirror Shields. They can only be damaged with the Magic Hammer, Silver Arrows, a Spin Attack from the Master Sword, or an attack from any of its upgrades.

Lynels appear in red and blue variations in. They also shoot fireballs at Link. A Golden Lynel appears in the Tarm Ruins during Winter after talking to the golden-robed Old Man. Defeating the Golden Lynel alongside the other Golden Monsters rewards Link with the Red Ring.

Lynels appear in red and blue variations in.

Lynels appear in two variations in, a white-maned type found on Death Mountain and a black variant with an orange mane that is found in the Treacherous Tower. They attack by breathing a long stream of fire that takes three hearts, which can only be blocked with the Hylian Shield.

In, NaN Lynels are a strong and intelligent type of BotW: that has resided in BotW: since ancient times. They come in five different variations: the standard red-maned NaN Lynels, NaN Blue-Maned Lynels, NaN White-Maned Lynels, NaN Silver Lynels, and the BotW: exclusive NaN Golden Lynels. NaN Lynels exclusively use NaN Weapons of the BotW: equipment archetype, of which they are the sole source. The only exception to this is the BotW: encountered in the BotW:, which carries a BotW: when encountered as a BotW:. They are capable of wielding NaN Lynel Crushers and NaN Lynel Spears with a single hand, despite them being two-handed NaN Weapons when held by BotW:. They can also be equipped with NaN Arrows, NaN Fire Arrows, NaN Ice Arrows, NaN Shock Arrows, or NaN Bomb Arrows and the arrows ignores Link's invulnerability frames.

After spotting BotW:, a BotW: will refrain from attacking for a short period of time (30 seconds, with or without the Lynel Mask or Majora's Mask) and instead stare him down (except the one in Ploymus Mountain without wearing the aforementioned masks), allowing him a chance to escape before the battle begins. During this period of time, if Link uses any rune abilities, draws a melee weapon at moderate range (close enough that the Lynel will draw his melee weapon), swings a melee weapon at a distance, aims with a bow or spear, or getting too close, it will immediately begin the battle. NaN Lynels have a variety of attacks, both ranged and melee, such as shooting BotW:, body slamming, dashing, and trampling. NaN Lynels also have the ability to teleport, doing so to either briefly flee from battle or to give chase after BotW:. BotW: can perform a BotW: or a BotW: on most of their attacks, leaving them vulnerable for counterattacks. He can also utilize the NaN Updrafts created by their BotW: attacks to BotW: up and shoot at their head with a BotW:, stunning them and inflicting double damage. Every kind of BotW: is resistant to all elemental attacks. That includes the additional damage and the effect an element (frozen, electrified, or burn) would normally inflict. The only exception to this is BotW:, which does not abide by this rule.

BotW: can temporarily mount NaN Lynels either by sneaking up from behind, jumping on while they are stunned, using the BotW: to drop onto them from above. They can also be mounted after they perform a dashing BotW: swipe/club smash or charge at BotW:. While mounted, BotW: can repeatedly attack the BotW: up to five times with any BotW: without it losing any BotW:. If BotW:'s BotW: runs out, though, he will be thrown off and lose a quarter of a BotW:. Lynels cannot be soothed and tamed.

When defeated, all NaN Lynels drop NaN Lynel Hoofs, NaN Lynel Horns, and NaN Lynel Gutss, alongside their NaN Weapons and a bundle of their NaN Arrows.

A total of 22 NaN Lynels can be found throughout BotW:. An additional BotW: also appears on the BotW: during BotW:, and two more appear in the BotW:. Though most NaN Lynels BotW: as the BotW: increases, the NaN Lynels on BotW:, in the BotW:, and in the BotW: will not do so.

BotW: can buy a BotW: for 999 BotW: from BotW:'s BotW: shop after completing three NaN Divine Beasts. It can be used to disguise BotW: and temporarily avoid being attacked by NaN Lynels. BotW: can also be worn to deceive NaN Lynels. These pieces of BotW: will only work for a short amount of time, as the BotW: will eventually see through the disguise and attack BotW:.

NaN Lynels reappear in. They are now able to wear TotK:, which absorbs most attacks but can be destroyed by explosions and TotK: NaN Weapons. They now have a TotK: and a TotK:.
