Lynels are freakin rad. I was so proud the first time I beat one.

Legit. It was as satisfactory as killing the first TP Darknut. Still, it took too long for these cats to get mainstream attention. They’ve been around since the first LOZ, but they’ve been used relatively few times, and the fact they didn’t appear into any 3D Zeldas until BOTW didn’t do them any favors . Too bad, as they are consistently among the most formidable mooks in each appearance. BOTW not only got them some deserved spotlight, but also doing their fighting skills some justice 

PD: headcanon. Since Pony Link is real, there are Lynels somewhere in FIM’s world 

I’d had heard that. I’m a relative newcomer to the Zelda franchise, but Lynels were instantly one of my favorite things, even those I was TERRIFIED of them and took forever to actually challenge one.
