How to Defeat Lynels

How to defeat Lynels in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

Defeating Lynels is far from easy as they have fairly high HP and can deal significant damage. Here are some of the best tips for defeating Lynels in Tears of the Kingdom:

  • Prioritize dodging – Don’t get greedy with attacks and make sure to dodge whenever you get attacked.
  • Aim for Headshots – Bow headshots deal extra damage and leave the Lynel temporarily exposed.
  • Bring multiple weapons – Lynel encounters last a long time and your weapons may break before you manage to defeat the Lynel. Thus, make sure to bring extra weapons.
  • Stay close – If you go too far, the Lynel can use Bow and Fireball attacks, which are extremely accurate and hard to dodge.

With these tips, you’ll be able to defeat any Lynel you find.
