Hi Hylians!
I just wanted to add a mistake in the video. It's a mistake, but not really a mistake. Without going into details, Lynels do not upgrade depending on how many you defeat and how many divine beast. Well it does, but not exactly that.
Each enemy you defeat will add an invisible counter. each enemy has their own individual number. When you reach a certain number, enemies will upgrade. Lynels, and Divine beast just have a big number =P
I hope this makes sense! =)
You can watch this!

It’s crazy how hard lynels are compared to actual bosses that they need ACTUAL TUTORIAL VIDOES

When the Lynel breathes fire at you and you are in a grassy environment, run far away from the Lynel and let the grass get lit on fire. Use the updraft to shoot the Lynel in the face and sprint towards him to mount him and with a good weapon you’ll deal a great deal of damage. Hope this helps!

0:36 the level of Lynel actually depends on the World Level mechanic. Every time certain enemies die, they add a certain amount to a hidden tally that upgrades certain enemies. Certain enemies don’t contribute at all, like Red and Blue Bokos/Lizalfos/Moblins and their Stal equivalents, Chuchus, Keese, Stone Pebblits, and wildlife like foxes, bears, etc. Because the Blight Ganons contribute so much to the World Level, they give the illusion that beating a Divine Beast automatically upgrades enemies.

The lynel instantly struck me as one of the most interesting Zelda enemies ever designed and their lore fit perfectly with BOTW's overall vision and codified many of the main ideas, particularly how they forge their own weapons.

Even though I've already fought so many lynels I still want to support your incredible videos

If you dodge the lynels charge attack you can quickly run up to him and mount him that way. I never hear this way being talked about, but I've used it and it works. Hope this tip helps.

Fightin Lynels is like fighting a big kid. Scary until you figure out weaknesses.

i never knew that a blue lynel existed i just went from red lynel to silver

[rexbeastoverlord_rblx]

The first Lynel I ever beat took me two days, and it was a red Lynel in the Colliseum before you beat any divine beasts, and I had just started the game. I didn’t even know how to parry or flurry rush so I just ran around and took any slashes that u could. That was the day I watched a vid and realised I had wasted two days of my life 😂

“The more you fight lynels the better you get at defeating them” this is 100% true I used to be scared of them so I fought a lynel for the first time I died 2 times and 1 day later I can kill a silver lynel without dying once. I recommend using miphas grace it’s very useful sometimes when you backflip the lynel can still hit you so if you die you’ll be revived.

[SlammedOnGasoline]

I haven’t fought a lynel once. I’m going to fight one after I finish this.

[stealthbonus]

I used to be scared of Lynels when I first started playing. Now I avoid them because they break all of my weapons. Risk vs. Reward on whether I want their weapons enough to lose all of mine.

"The level of Lynels depend on how many Divine Beasts you've freed and how many Lynels you've killed"

I should have looked at this video before going on a murder spree of White-Maned Lynels😭

[joelgranta]

When the lynel throws you off it’s back after you mount it aim for the neck area to get the critical arrow hit.

Me: Needs shock arrows to defeat Vah Ruta The lynel: Not today

[MaxWelton]

WAIT WAIT WAIT at the start of the video are you fighting 2 LYNELS AT ONCE?!?! Dude you are fighting on ANOTHER LEVEL.

[SlammedOnGasoline]

I found that if you use the shekia slate, the lynel will start fighting. This could be useful to someone.
