The formidable Lynel is considered one of the most daunting adversaries in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Known for its impressive speed, immense strength, and remarkable resilience, defeating a Lynel is a challenging feat, even for the bravest heroes of Hyrule.
In addition to their array of traditional weapons, Lynels possess the ability to dismantle Zonai devices, hindering Link’s chances of escaping once targeted as prey.
Furthermore, in Tears of the Kingdom, Lynels can don armor that must be removed with blunt weapons before they can be effectively harmed.
Lynels come in different variations – red-maned, blue-maned, white-maned, and silver-maned, with Silver Lynels being the most powerful. Armored variants are often encountered in the Depths, adding an extra layer of danger to underground explorations. To illuminate your path, be sure to refer to our Lightroot locations guide.
If you dare to challenge a Lynel, the rewards are well worth the risk. Aside from their high-quality weaponry, Lynels drop various unique items such as guts and monster parts that significantly enhance the potency of elixirs, as well as horns that can be crafted into some of the most formidable weapon enhancements in Hyrule.
Whether you seek to wield this power yourself or embark on side quests that involve hunting down these fearsome creatures, here is a comprehensive list of Lynel locations in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
There are a total of 34 Lynel locations: 15 above ground and 19 in the Depths, including the arena.
