I honestly prefer the parry method to the Flurry Rush method for fighting BOTW/TOTK Lynels. If you get the timing down, you can parry and quickly pull out your bow to do a faceshot for a quick stun, then mount them and get in a bunch of free hits with your weapon that cost no durability. Incidentally, BOTW is a little easier to stun this way, as the stunbox is mostly just the head - in TOTK, the addition of the horns means that you have to specifically aim for the face. Also, I appreciate that the addition of the horns in TOTK means that Lynels actually have a new attack using them. It can still be parried, but it was a surprise the first time I saw it!

So hard to kill until you learn how to deal with them. In breath of the wild at the end if you wanted to farm them for their equipment or parts, the northern part of the map had a series of lynels to kill one after another after another. Like 3 or 4 of them by this rocky/hilly area.

Also how about that underground music in the depths , beneath the castle . The atmosphere is just one of fear , such a scary sounding music and aesthetic.

That Royal Guard Bow in BotW seems like it got durability transfer on it. A normal one would've broken after that many shots.

5:54 as a fanatic (not gonna say expert, I doubt I am) of the Necrodancer games, let me tell you how to avoid all that damage. the Lynel moves every second beat. if you're in the way when it's about to move... it's gonna hurt. if you know the Lynel is about to move, steer clear of it's adjacent tiles (he can't move diagonally, so just moving to the side is enough.) if you are somewhere on a straight line from it, it will ready an arrow. move out of that line immediately. if you can't but are playing as Link or anyone that can use the shield, hold it out and move towards the Lynel so the shield points towards him, the arrow shouldn't hit you. as Zelda or Shadow Zelda using Nayru's Love here will reflect the arrow, so, yeah, do that. depending on your weapon, the easiest strategy varies. Dagger/Shortsword/Spear/Rapier: if youre adjacent to it while it's not doing anything, attack once, step sideways, step back where you were, and then back to where you dodged towards, and repeat. this movement is known as the Dragon Dance from Necrodancer. Broadsword: attack every beat until you're adjacent to it, attack once, sidestep, and attack until you're adjacent again, repeat the process. Longsword: hold it out with R and poke at him from two tiles away, projectiles cant go through the sword, nor do they affect you lol just keep him out of range, turn as necessary.

(Which makes me feel like TotK's failure to include them is a missed opportunity) Hell, they were probably still the single enemy that dealt the highest amount of damage per hit. The player in the video made it look easy, but coming across a room with more than 3 of them was something to be scared of. Back then, Link's limited movement, and attack range made it pretty hard to successfully attack enemies while avoiding taking damage. It was easy to swing and miss, and it was east to bump into enemies by mistake.

Well that escalated quickly

Clearly somebody doesn't know about the mounting method (BotW and TotK). Shoot them in the face once, mount them with your highest damage weapon, and enjoy your free hits that DON'T CONSUME WEAPON DURABILITY. Parry every attack and shoot them during the brief stun that does, then mount up. When they do the fire breath or AOE, same as before shoot and mount. Really turns them from a terrifying enemy to a great source of expensive materials and strong weapons!

Missed opportunity to include the armored Lynel from The Depths
