How to find all the Lynels in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Lynels are some of the most powerful foes Link will face in Tears of the Kingdom, here are all the ones we have found, including a gauntlet of Lynels with a valuable reward at the end.
Lynel locations in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are great places to go to test your combat strength. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom features many different monsters, but few are more powerful than these lion-maned centaurs.
Lynels appear in different locations and of different rarities, throughout the game. Here are all of the Lynel locations we have found so far in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
The "weakest" of the bunch, the Red-Maned Lynel should be the first port of call for anyone considering the challenge of facing these beasts. Here are several locations we have found where you can find and fight a Red-Maned Lynel.
Bear in mind, any Lynel found in the depths are armoured, and therefore much tougher than their surface-bound equivalents.

Next up are the Blue-Maned Lynels. Don't assume that being second on the list of weakest to strongest makes the Blue-Maned Lynel a pushover. They are no joke, and a big step up from their red-haired cousins.

Then we move on to the White-Maned Lynels. These are the toughest Lynels you are going to find out in the wild, so if you see one you should probably give it a wide berth.

| Depths, south of Abandoned Kakariko Mine | 1703, -1972, -0463 |

The final five Lynels can all be found in one place, the Floating Coliseum. This location is in the Depths, northwest of the Great Abandoned Central Mine. The coordinates are -1127, -1159, -0499.
Enter the Floating Coliseum and you will begin a fight with the five Lynels, one after another. What's more, each Lynel is more powerful than the last. You start with a Red-Maned Lynel, then a Blue-Maned Lynel, then on to a White-Maned Lynel.
The fourth Lynel is a Silver Lynel, the most powerful variant. If you manage to take it down, your next challenge is another Silver Lynel, but this one is armoured. Manage to defeat them all, and you are rewarded with Majora's Mask.
Those are all of the Lynel locations in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that we have found. For more on the game, check out our guide to finding the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Hylian Shield.
