Tears of the Kingdom has 34 Lynel spawns: 15 on the surface and 19 in the Depths, including 3 Silver Lynels. Lynels are the material source for the Barbarian set and the reason most players learn to parry. This page lists every spawn location, counts them by layer and color, gives the HP and drops, and shows a Lynel fight in screenshots.

Most of the Depths has no place names of its own, so the name given for a Depths spot is the name of the place on the surface directly above it. Find that name on the surface map and the spot is straight below. Two groups stand out:

  • The Floating Coliseum (five Lynels, the rows under Coliseum Ruins): a Depths arena directly beneath the surface Coliseum Ruins (Show on map). Its Lynels rise in color up to two Silver Lynels, which makes it the reliable Silver farm.
  • Under the stables (twelve Lynels, the rows named after a stable or next to one): each stands within about 220 map units of a stable above — a Lynel is stationed in the Depths beneath the stables. The Silver one is under Wetland Stable.

How do you beat a Lynel?

A Lynel charging across a field toward Link
A Lynel charges and fires arrows from range. Keep moving and get your bow out.
A Lynel reeling after an arrow to the head
An arrow to the head ① staggers it for a moment.
Link on the Lynel's back attacking it
While it is staggered, run up and mount it — every hit from its back is free damage until it throws you off.

Two more ways in: sneak up and mount it from behind before it notices you (the Stealth set helps), or dodge its attacks at the last moment for a Flurry Rush. Summoning the sages splits its attention while you heal.

A Lynel in a cloud of smoke with a question mark over it
The KKJinxx guide in this video uses Puffshroom smoke: in the cloud the Lynel loses sight of you ①.
Link leaping onto the Lynel out of the smoke
That gives you the opening to jump onto its back again.

Of the fourteen Blue-Maned Lynels, thirteen carry a Mighty Lynel Bow and six a Mighty Lynel Shield; the one at the Floating Coliseum has a Lynel Bow instead. Beaten Lynels drop what they carry.
