What is the Strongest Lynels in Tears of the Kingdom?
The Lynels in Tears of the Kingdom are considered among the most challenging and powerful enemies in the game. Out of all the Lynel variants, which include Red, Blue, White, and Silver, which one do you think is the strongest? As we’ll delve into today, it’s not what you’d expect.
The Ranking System
Understanding the Lynel ranking system is crucial in determining who reigns supreme. Below is the breakdown of their ranks in increasing order from easy to extremely tough:
• Rank 147: Red Lynels (default)
• Rank 148: Blue-Maned Lynels
• Rank 149: White-Maned Lynels
• Rank 150: Silver Lynels (strongest and rarest)
Keep in mind that even at the end of the list, every Lynel poses a significant challenge, requiring skilled combat maneuvers and effective strategy to prevail.
Physical Characteristics vs. Toughness
Surprisingly, it’s the physical appearance and size of these formidable enemies that often define their toughness:
• Red Lynels (Rank 147) have a slim build, small size and relatively fewer defenses. As a consequence, they can be less resilient but no less unpredictable in battle.
• Silver Lynels (Rank 150), however, differ greatly from Red Lynels. These colossal, gigantic beings dwarf trees and pillars. By comparison, their mere size increases their strength multifold and wields heavy strikes you’d better take care not to trigger. That’s even without considering the additional bonuses of being in the #1 ranking category.
Given their considerable size alone, Silver Lynels hold an undeniable top spot for toughest Lynel. That aside, strategic considerations can render them susceptible to the right skills.
