'''Lynels''' are rare, powerful, lion-like centaur enemies that are typically found in mountainous or ruinous areas. In every game they appear in, they are among the most powerful enemies in both strength and durability. Their name seems to be a corruption of the name "Lionel." | '''Lynels''' are rare, powerful, lion-like centaur enemies that are typically found in mountainous or ruinous areas.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', Lynels appear to the north, on [[Death Mountain]], and appear in orange and blue varieties, with the blue being stronger. Both types are very strong but only of average speed, and they attack with [[sword beam]]s. A single blue one guards the cave containing the [[White Sword]], but in most other places with them, they appear in very large amounts. Their art depicts them with a sword and shield, but likely due to the graphics flipping to make them appear walking when pointing up or down, they are depicted with a pair of swords in their in-game sprite. They are the strongest overworld enemy, though some underworld enemies are of comparable strength. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', Lynels appear to the north, on [[Death Mountain]], and appear in orange and blue varieties, with the blue being stronger.

They attack like the ones in the first game, but never appear in large amounts. Additionally, their feet and tails are now depicted as also being more lion-like. The Lynels in this game are called '''Wolf Warriors'''.<ref>Averill, Alan. ''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages'' Player's Guide. Page 31.</ref> | ||

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds]]'', Lynels | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds]]'', Lynels look like they do in ''A Link to the Past'', though their behavior has changed. They are slower than before, and instead of breathing long-range fireballs, they breath a continuous stream of fire a short distance in Link's direction. There is also a stronger type that is dark brown with red garb, which only appears deep within [[Lorule]]'s Death Mountain and in the [[Treacherous Tower]]. This type's flames are particularly dangerous in [[Hero Mode]], as an insufficiently-armored Link may be killed immediately regardless of health. | ||

Historically, a Lynel on [[Ploymus Mountain]] menacing [[Zora's Domain]] was defeated by a [[Hylian]] (presumably Link before the [[Great Calamity]]), an event carved into (but weathered away from) the seventh [[Zora Monument]]. In the present day, a low-armed Lynel is found on the same mountain, and is likely intended as the first Lynel the player encounters. It is not intended to be fought, but rather snuck around in order to collect the [[Shock Arrow]]s littering the area in order to use them to fight [[Vah Ruta]]. This Lynel in particular stays low-level and unarmed throughout the game, but will still pose a challenge for unprepared players if it spots Link. This is the only Lynel the game actively pushes the player to face in the main plot. | Historically, a Lynel on [[Ploymus Mountain]] menacing [[Zora's Domain]] was defeated by a [[Hylian]] (presumably Link before the [[Great Calamity]]), an event carved into (but weathered away from) the seventh [[Zora Monument]].

One first appears in the scenario "[[Mipha: The Zora Princess]]," and is very likely intended to be the same one that is mentioned in passing in ''Breath of the Wild''. It appears on Ploymus Mountain during an assault on Zora's Domain by several [[Moblin]]s and electrical enemies, with the young [[Prince Sidon]] attempting to face it down. Link, [[Impa]], and [[Mipha]] come to his rescue and must defeat it to complete the scenario, at which point it flees. Shortly thereafter, a giant horde of Lynel archers armed with [[Shock Arrow]]s must be destroyed with Vah Rutah. Later, blue, white, and silver Lynels appear along with three elemental varieties, being [[Electric Lynel]]s, [[Fire Lynel]]s, and [[Ice Lynel]]s. Finally, a [[malice]]-infused type of silver Lynel known as the [[Malice Lynel]] appears in the final chapter. | ||
