Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Lynel locations – have they returned?
If you're looking for the toughest enemies and the best loot in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you'll be wanting to find and defeat Lynels. But do Lynels even exist in the sequel?
In Breath of the Wild, finding and defeating all of the Lynels in the game was a challenge worth undertaking.
These big baddies were tough to track down and even tougher to defeat but dropped some great items and weapons for you to claim as your own once you did best one in combat.
Just as the shrines are worth completing and Korok seeds are fun to collect, it will be worth seeking out and beating every Lynel in TotK.
Link's Master Sword will come in handy in battles such as these. So will the Hylian Shield. And it wouldn't hurt to find all the Skyview Towers before you start scouring the map for brutal centaur-like killers!
Keep on reading to find out if Lynels are in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom or not and if so, where to find their locations.
Yes! There are Lynels in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. These powerful centaur-like creatures are still in Hyrule and they still drop extra-good loot upon defeating them, just as in Breath of the Wild.
As you can see in the YouTube video above from UltimateLocke and in the one below from Norobrikt YT, Lynels are indeed confirmed to be back in Tears of the Kingdom.
It's worth pointing out that defeating Lynels in Tears of the Kingdom looks to be just as difficult as it was in Breath of the Wild. Having the best weapons and armour around is essential for these battles.
