How To Beat Lynel In Breath Of The Wild Zora

Okay, Let's Talk Lynels Near Zora's Domain.

Let's be honest. Those Lynels near Zora's Domain are jerks. But guess what? You can totally beat them.

I'm not saying it'll be easy. But I *am* saying it's easier than you think. Ready?

Step 1: Be Prepared (Kinda)

First, you need decent armor. Something that isn't literally made of wood.

Trust me on this one. I learned the hard way.

Also, grab some food. Bonus points if it gives you extra attack power.

Step 2: Master the Parry (Or Don't)

Everyone says you *have* to parry Lynel's attacks. I say...meh.

Parrying is cool, I guess. If you're into that sort of thing.

But frankly, I'm not coordinated enough. I prefer option B.

Step 3: The Dodge Dance

Instead of parrying, dodge! It's way more fun.

Wait for the Lynel to charge. Then, BAM! Side hop.

Perfect dodges give you flurry rushes. This is your golden opportunity.

Step 4: Arrow Time!

Here's my controversial opinion. Spam arrows!

Specifically, use bomb arrows. They're amazing.

Aim for the face. It stuns the Lynel.

Step 5: Mount Up!

When the Lynel is stunned, run up and press A. You'll mount it!

Get free hits in. No weapon durability is used up!

It’s like a rodeo, but with more stabbing.

Step 6: Repeat Steps 3-5

Dodge, shoot, mount. That’s the cycle. Repeat until the Lynel is defeated.

Sometimes, I’ll use a powerful two-handed weapon when mounted for maximum damage.

This is a valid tactic, I promise.

Step 7: Optional Cheese (Because Why Not?)

Okay, hear me out. Stasis+ is your friend. Freeze the Lynel.

Then, hit it with everything you've got. Ancient arrows work wonders too.

Is it the most honorable way to win? Maybe not. But who cares?

Step 8: Enjoy Your Victory (And Loot)

You did it! You defeated a Lynel near Zora's Domain.

Now, collect your loot. Lynel parts are super useful.

And feel proud of yourself. You are a Lynel-slaying machine!

A Final, Possibly Unpopular, Thought

Forget fancy techniques. Just dodge, shoot, and mount.

Be a little cheesy if you want to. It’s your game.

Most importantly, have fun. That's what Breath of the Wild is all about, right?

Don't let anyone tell you there's only one "right" way to play. If spamming arrows and cheesing Lynels is what makes you happy, go for it!
